Some Latino leaders in Wisconsin are criticizing Gov. Scott Walker’s latest position on immigration.
In the past, Walker has said he’d be open to a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants in the U.S. However, Walker recently reversed his course, saying that U.S.- Mexico border security should come first, and that employers should be forced to verify their workers are legal. He says he opposes what he calls amnesty for people here illegally.
Darryl Morin of the League of United Latin American Citizens said that if Walker runs for president, he won’t have much Latino support.

“There can be no sincere outreach effort from those who choose to criminalize Hispanics,” said Morin.
Morin said Latinos in 2016 will vote for community, not political party.
