You hear some people talk about border security and a wall and all that. To me, I don't know that you need any of that if you had a better, saner way to let people into the country in the first place.

More quotes by Scott Walker
Washington, or as I like to call it, 68 square miles surrounded by reality.
Scott Walker
I'm certainly an imperfect man. And it's only by the blood of Jesus Christ that I've been redeemed from my sins. So I know that God doesn't call me to do a specific thing, God hasn't given me a list, a Ten Commandments of things to act on the first day. What God calls us to do is follow his will. And ultimately that's what I'm going to try to do.
Scott Walker
When I'm writing a lyric, I totally forget about the music. I'm just looking at the lyric and thinking about it almost as a separate entity. And then I'll go to my keyboard with all the lyrics printed out and try to think of how to make this a complete musical thing. I've got a very basic keyboard with some presets.
Scott Walker
The music has to be as interesting. It has to keep taking you into places that you're at least not used to.
Scott Walker
Governors should be defined not just by what they do and say, but who they surround themselves with.
Scott Walker
Political leaders in Illinois kicked the can down the road, raised taxes, and ignored fiscal realities. Now, they're realizing the consequences of their actions: credit downgrades and negative outlooks.
Scott Walker
My problem with public sector union leaders, the bosses, has been they stood in the way of protecting the taxpayer.
Scott Walker
You have phantom income each year. No money is being put in your pocket, but you have to take some money out of your pocket to pay Uncle Sam because the tax is paid based on accretion.
Scott Walker
The harder part of doing a real story is that there are real people and you have a responsibility to not just go crazy with their lives and have them do things which are not their character, that they then have to live with.
Scott Walker
My kids were targeted on Facebook by protesters.
Scott Walker
It all starts from the lyric with me. If I work really hard on the lyric and get it right, then it will tell me whatever else to do, where to go.
Scott Walker
I have unbelievable support among Republicans.
Scott Walker
Collective bargaining isn't a right, it is an expensive entitlement. Once and for all, we are giving the taxpayers a voice in this debate. We put the power back in the hands of the people.
Scott Walker
But I don't want massive layoffs of anyone - public or private. We are planning on shrinking government through attrition and reform, not through random pink slips.
Scott Walker
I've often heard the complaint from both Democrat and Republican voters alike that they hate the fact that politicians get into office and they - and they're fearful, they're fearful to make tough decisions because they think more about the next election than they do about the next-generation.
Scott Walker
When we win, it will tell every politician in America that if you are bold, if you do the right thing, if you tackle the tough issues, there will be people standing there right with you.
Scott Walker
I just think this is people who are chronically looking for ways to be upset about things.
Scott Walker
If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world.
Scott Walker
Now things have changed for the better. Our reforms end seniority and tenure so we can hire and fire based on merit and pay based on performance. That means we can put the best and the brightest in our classrooms - and we can keep them there.
Scott Walker
But Mitt Romney understands, like I understand, that people - not governments - create jobs.
Scott Walker
