Gov. Scott Walker warned a crowd at the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum
Association Thursday that Americans need to “wake up” to the fact many
people aren’t crossing
the border with the intentions of looking for work and are coming with
“other motives.”
“Increasingly,
when you look at the list, when I was down there earlier in the year,
at the countries of origin, it’s not just Mexico, it’s not central
America, or even
South America,” the Wisconsin governor said in footage clipped the
Democratic research firm American Bridge.
Walker
said his trip to the border showed him that “a good number” of people
are coming from Indonesia and Morocco and “other places around the
world.” He said many of
these people weren’t looking for jobs but instead had “other motives.”
“There’s
a good number from Indonesia, there are from Morocco, and other places
around the world, many of whom aren’t looking for work in the United
States. They’ve got
other motives and we need to wake up to that. So, securing the border
is important, and on the larger part on immigration, securing the border
is a key part of immigration.”
Walker’s
position on immigration has been fluid over the past several years. He
once expressed support for citizenship for undocumented immigrants. He
changed his view
to oppose citizenship for undocumented immigrants and has publicly
acknowledged a change on the issue. A Walker aide previously cited
President Obama’s executive action on immigration as a driving force for
the change.
A Walker spokeswoman did not return a request for comment.
