On his website, Mark Walker takes a cautious position on immigration. He calls for border security, praises the many contributions of legal immigrants and blames Congress for not fixing the mess. Read it for yourself. http://walker4nc.com/content/page/issues#immigration
But Mark Walker has another website where he has stated a very different position-the legalization of 12 million illegal immigrants.
Here's what Mark Walker says about legalizing 12 million illegal immigrants. “After border security and working with those who’ve legally applied, I would propose legislation that would provide an incremental pathway to legalization for 12 million illegal immigrants. .. If these registered immigrants adhere to the required guidelines, and have partaken in no significant criminal activity, we should allow the legalization process and move forward as one country.

In this second statement, Mr. Walker talks about making illegal aliens pay taxes and denying them entitlements. That's the same thing Senator Schumer and Senator Rubio say in their amnesty bill. It's curious that Mr. Walker thinks voters are so detached from reality that we would believe the vast majority of illegal aliens even make enough money to owe taxes. At their generally lower income level, they are likely to be part of the expanded group that gets money back beyond what they have paid through various tax credits.
Mr. Walker said at a forum in Rockingham County that we needed to show “compassion” on the illegal immigration issue. That's well and good. But it reminds me of a story a friend recently told me about her boyfriend's son who went to North Dakota for a $21/hour truck driving job. A few days after he arrived, bus loads of Mexicans came in and wages were cut to $14/hour. He moved on to Colorado to look for something better.
Don't Mr. Walker and the rest of the compassion brigade think it might not be so compassionate to keep undercutting the wages of working people in this country?
It will be interesting to see if the media asks Mark Walker about this second website where he endorses a plan for amnesty for 12 million illegal immigrants.
