Here we have a set up where a sympathetic illegal alien family tries to box Walker in and make him look bad....Walker deals with the illegal alien family gently but firmly and explains his position.....way too many repbulicans would fail this simple test.....a left wing ambush to embarrass the candidate....one of the reasons Walker is a powerful candidate....

Blog Scott Walker shows how it s done confronting video ambush by illegal alien family


A little girl crying is the Kryptonite of the progressive no-borders crowd. William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection calls it the “why do you want to deport my daddy” strategy. His verdict is that Walker handled the strategy “pretty much perfectly.” Even the Post was impressed with Walker’s response:

It was an opportunity for Walker to demonstrate how he calmly fights back against challenges from activists. He was forceful as he told the Flores family that immigrants must follow the rules, but he added, "I completely sympathize with the situation you're all in and others are in."

One of the activists, Sam Freeman of Wisconsin's Voces de la Frontera, cut the governor off and shouted, "So that's why you want to separate their family?"

Walker curtly said that he wanted to talk only with the family and that their plight is the reason the United States must go forward with "putting in place a logical system." To address illegal immigration, Walker said, the nation needs to secure the border and enforce its laws before it can focus on other issues. An immigration system cannot come at the cost of American workers and their wages, he added.

"The president had years to deal with this throughout the legitimate legislative process," Walker said. "He had his own party in charge for the first two years … he was in office."

John Hinderaker of Powerline sees how this issue and Walker’s response could be a huge plus:

What is most interesting to me is how Jose Flores came to confront Governor Walker:

[T]he Flores family waited by his campaign bus and approached him again, an exchange that was captured by reporters and three immigration activists, one of whom drove the family to Iowa.

So the whole encounter was a setup, orchestrated by a group of pro-illegal immigration activists. There is a cognitive dissonance surrounding the issue of illegal immigration: liberal activists and most beltway denizens believe that opposition to illegal immigration makes Republicans look bad. The rest of the country thinks it makes them look good.

The Post tells us about the Flores family:

Flores, who lives in Waukesha and works for a medical supply factory….

So, is this one of those jobs that Americans won’t do? The Democrats are always railing about high-quality factory jobs that are being “shipped overseas,” to the detriment of American workers. But for some reason, they think it is great for workers from those same countries to come illegally to the United States and take jobs away from American workers.
