Money Talks, Scott Walker Caves

It's not likely that Scott Walker will succeed Donald Trump.  Mitt Romney, maybe, but not The Donald.  This from August 2015:

GOP presidential hopeful Scott Walker appears to have again shifted his stance on allowing the children of illegal immigrants to automatically gain U.S. citizenship.

In an interview on Sunday morning on ABC's "This Week," the Wisconsin governor said he does not want to alter the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which states that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States . . . are citizens of the United States." 

Nearly a week before, Walker said he wanted to end birthright citizenship and would not say then whether he agreed with the 14th Amendment....
Somebody named Hubbard told Walker to reverse his position, and Walker did.

So much for 'common man' Walker, eh?

And--for the record--the 14th Amendment was massacred by SCOTUS.  The plain language is clear:  children of illegals are not US citizens by geography of birth.
