Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker
has become the latest potential Republican presidential candidate to
try to tailor his position on immigration to the party’s primary
electorate, assuring voters that he is now against granting citizenship
rights to illegal immigrants.
Mr. Walker was for a path to citizenship before he was against it, having embraced it in 2013 before reversing himself this year, now espousing a security-first approach that has become the fallback position for much of the Republican presidential field.
“I do not believe in amnesty for citizenship,” Mr. Walker said at a press conference in Milwaukee this week. “I believe if someone wants to become a citizen, they need to go to their country of origin and come in the same system just like anyone else.”
