Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, a possible Republican presidential candidate, made the case that immigration policy should “protect”American workers and wages. Walker made the comments in an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity:
“Once you [secure the border] then you can talk about enforcing the laws by using an effective e-verify system for all employers, one that works for small businesses, farmers, and ranchers, and making sure that any legal immigration, no amnesty, any legal immigration system we go forward with is one that ultimately has to protect American workers and make sure that American wages are going up. That’s the way we prosper for every hard working American in this country,” Walker told Hannity.
Walker is so far the first possible Republican presidential candidate to make the case the immigration policy should be related to Americans workers and wages.
