GOP Presidential candidate Scott Walker took some time to talk to Chris about immigration and the Middle East at a campaign stop in Sunapee. The governor’s poll numbers in New Hampshire have slipped slightly since the big Republican debate, so Walker will be here to as, he puts it, “Earn the votes of Granite Staters.” Many believe that some of Walker’s support has shifted to Ohio Governor John Kasich. The Wisconsin governor offered several similarities and differences between himself and Kasich. They both battled public service unions except Walker won; they are both against Obamacare, but Kasich accepted a Medicare expansion in Ohio; and they both favor having balanced budgets, but only Walker has managed to fully fund his state’s pension system.
Walker has taken a different approach than frontrunner, Donald Trump, on immigration. He has a three step solution: 1) secure the border; 2) enforce current immigration laws, especially by using the E verify system to put the onus on employers; and 3) No amnesty.
When questioned about how he would handle current problems in the Middle East, “President” Scott Walker would terminate the Iran Nuclear Deal on Day 1 of his term. He would then reinstate even tougher sanctions on Iran and would encourage our allies to do the same. To fight ISIS, he would improve our relationship with our allies in the region–the Kurds and Sunni Muslim states.
