WASHINGTON (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's position on immigration is facing new scrutiny.

The likely Republican presidential contender has consistently opposed what he calls "amnesty" for immigrants in the country illegally. But in a recent closed-door meeting with New Hampshire Republicans, he said such immigrants should be allowed to stay in the country legally.

That's according to the meeting's organizer, New Hampshire GOP chair Jennifer Horn. She rejects a Wall Street Journal report that Walker supports a pathway to citizenship.

1. undocumented children tribulations

Many children in arizona both undocumented and citizens mothers have been arrested for working trying to feed their families. I have written a screenplay about their plight. It is on a website: thealamoisavenged.com I know the title sounds weird ;but if you read the screenplay you can see how it fits.

That's according to the meeting's organizer, New Hampshire GOP chair Jennifer Horn. She rejects a Wall Street Journal report that Walker supports a pathway to citizenship.


Horn says Walker "very clearly identified he was advocating a path for legal status but not citizenship."

The distinction between a pathway to citizenship and legal status matters little to many conservatives. It's largely the same position as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has been widely criticized for supporting "amnesty."
