Scott Walker And Chris Christie Pander To Donald Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Base
Source: Outside the Beltway
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker took the immigration debate inside the Republican Party to the next level ... Its not just the southern border:Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says its legitimate to discuss building a wall separating the United States from Canada, as well.
...
Governor Walker isnt the only one pandering to the anti-immigrant crowd that Trump has attracted, Chris Christie is now suggesting that the Federal Government track immigrants the way FedEx tracks packages:
Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said on Saturday that if he were elected president he would combat illegal immigration by creating a system to track foreign visitors the way FedExtracks packages.
...
Like Walker, Christies idea here is less an serious proposal and more an effort to pander to the anti-immigrant sentiment that Trump has tapped into and which he whips up every chance he gets. If nothing else, this should tells us that the Trump phenomenon isnt as much of an anomaly of Republican politics as the more establishment wing of the party would like to believe. When other candidates start making suggesting like this and endorsing Trumps idea of ending birthright citizenship, its a sign that Trumpism is winning the debate in side the Republican Party, even if Trump himself doesnt end up winning the nomination.

(4,450 posts)but I forgot the little thingie. I have not doubt he might try. He will try pretty much anything- and then blame whatever blows up in his face on underlings.
