Scott Walker erroneously thinks he’s smart, speaks on foreign policy & immigration

Wish he would toss his hat into the ring. I would enjoy seeing him as the laughing stock of the nation.

Scott Walker erroneously thinks he’s smart, speaks on foreign policy & immigration

Posted by Zach Wisniewski

Apparently Our Dumb Governor thinks he knows better than President Obama how to .

Walker, who is mulling a run for president in 2016, joined a lawsuit earlier this month seeking to block Obama’s executive action sparing as many as 5 million people living illegally in the United States from deportation. Obama announced the action in November, saying it was an important step to fix the nation’s broken immigration system.

“I and other governors, as well as attorneys general, feel that even though we have executive powers, we feel the president is misusing his. This is a dramatic overreach of his authority,” Walker said, “We think there are the potential for tremendous new costs that could be pushed onto the states in terms of public assistance, education, other related costs that this action potentially brings on — yet again without the federal government providing any funding or assistance.”

Not content to show how utterly devoid of actual ideas he is on the issue of illegal immigration, Gov. Walker then waded into a discussion of foreign policy, a subject he has absolutely no experience with......

spends money on undocumented immigrants in the form of grants
I work on the grants. I think it is the right thing to do. Most of them I work on are for children's medical services. The grants are administered through the states but it is federal money passed through the states to counties in the form of block grants.
I work for a county and we are mandated by the State to server all who apply. Some have insurance some have Medicaid and Medicare but many do not because they do not qualify. We treat them and we get block grants to pay for it. Not all is reimbursed but some portion is.
