Is that Kriebling I hear in the distance? Mark Krikorian notes that Scott Walker is already fuzzing up his alleged epic shift to Sessionsism (on immigration) by declaring, through a spokeswoman, that
He strongly supports legal immigration, and like many Americans, believes that our economic situation should be considered instead of arbitrary caps on the amount of immigrants that can enter. [E.A.]
Talk of removing “arbitrary caps” brings back memories of the Krieble plan, championed by Newt Gingrich in 2012. It’s a non-solution — essentially an open-border plan that would let employers bring in however many millions of workers they wanted (without “arbitrary caps” — i.e. limits).
You have been warned.

Walker immigration comments encouraging, & outraging right people, but @kausmickey fears potential for “Kriebling” http://t.co/WIb29zcMJu
Mickey, I must ask, why do you mostly concentrate on Republican candidates’ views on immigration? I assume you are more liberal than conservative, yet you hardly put to task the Democrats that are selling out middle class American workers. Sure you’ve mentioned Schumer and his cohorts here and there, but that is your party–you ran for Senator, yet you constantly assail all the GOP candidates on their apparent wishy –washy stances on immigration. It is like you know that the GOP is the last hope for the American born worker and it seems that hope is even slipping away (thanks big business and Silicon Valley).
I don’t understand why you don’t hammer Schumer, Durbin, Bennet, Menendez, and Reid on their complete betrayal of the American middle class. Polls consistently show that a majority of Americans oppose the immigration plans Congress wants to shove down our throats, yet your own party caved first to big business, while using the rouse of “helping out” the Hispanic poor and deprived from Mexico and Central America as a shield from the real reason (thanks MSM for the cover fire).
While I agree with you that the GOP candidates aren’t to be trusted with what they say vs. what the signs of what they will eventually do, and that the GOP is killing itself over this issue (and the fact that none of them want to stand up to big biz in favor of small businesses), but when it comes down to 2016, are you really going to cast a vote for Bush, Walker, Cruz, Rubio, or Christie over Hilary or Warren, even if they come out strong (in words) against comprehensive immigration reform? I’m very skeptical. You should hammer the Dem. Senators and leaders of the House, along with Hillary and any other potential Dem. presidential candidate that have sold out your party, and put the pressure on them to defend why they support immigration reform that won’t work ahead of middle class American workers. I’m guessing you won’t because ultimately, all those immigrants stand to help out the Democrats by joining the Unions you love and then when given the vote, will vote Democratic for generations to come.
I assume he means that the arbitrary caps are not based on Americas needs or best interest and they should not be “removed” but be adjusted to realistic numbers that reflect the best interests of America and its lawful citizens …
