This morning Scott Walker was on with Fox and Friends and said that Trump’s immigration plan sounds a lot like his:
THE HILL – Gov. Scott Walker offered support for Donald Trump’s new immigration plan, comparing it favorably to policies that he has backed as Wisconsin governor.
“It’s similar to what I brought up about four or five months ago,” the GOP presidential candidate said Monday on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” when asked about Trump’s plan.
Walker wouldn’t explicitly endorse the plan when asked by host Steve Doocy if he would give it a “thumbs up,” but compared it to the plan he outlined on a March appearance on “Fox News Sunday” with Chris Wallace.
“I haven’t looked at all the details of his but the things I’ve heard are very similar to the things I mentioned to Chris Wallace on the show earlier this year,” he said.
He noted that his three major goals are to secure the border, enforce existing law and have “no amnesty” for the millions of people in the country illegally.
After the interview Scott Walker went to the Iowa Fair where NBC reporter Kasie Hunt caught up with him and reported that Walker says he will end birthright citizenship:
Walker tells me he would end birthright citizenship. Wouldn't directly answer q about deporting undocumented kids – said, focus on E Verify

Walker’s communication director quickly addressed the latter part of her question about deporting undocumented kids:
.@kasie he said we have to reform immigration system in order to address

Trump also calls for an end to birthright citizenship.
