Madison City Council has allocated $30,000 to fund free legal clinics for immigrants who qualify for programs that offer legal residence for eligible undocumented immigrants.
A coalition of Dane County nonprofits are collaborating to implement these clinics, which will serve an estimated 3,000 people.
Ald. Shiva Bidar-Sielaff, District 5, and Mayor Paul Soglin spearheaded the initiative to provide financial support for residents seeking to participate in the programs. Application fees for both DAPA and DACA are $485 per person, which, when compounded with the costs of attorneys and additional legal fees, makes them prohibitive for many eligible residents.
The city hopes free legal clinics will alleviate some of the financial barriers of the application process, Bidar-Sielaff said.
The $30,000 the city has allocated will go directly to Centro Hispano for a staff person to organize pro bono lawyers in conjunction with the Catholic Mulitcultural Center, RISE Law Center and Jewish Social Services and take part in community engagement to reach as many eligible residents as possible.

It is even more fun when an illegal does this to you in the flesh : )
Hoping lots of relatives, friends, and non profit employees lose their jobs and are replaced by illegals!
What drives me nuts is when the racist, capitalist-controlled white media call them “undocumented,” as if they’re just some law-breaking latinos who sneak across the border to get free stuff, drive around without licenses killing people (they ALWAYS report on that, every time it happens,) and as if they’re not full-fledged citizens. GET OVER IT fat old white men. We are here! Your country is OUR country! We have your schools, your government, and our brother Hussein Obama in the White House. Open your wallets, bitches, and STFU.
Isn’t this going on in Scott Walker’s neck of the woods? Wonder what his position is on this.
That covers it well!
Awesome! So when they end up in the Wisconsin Prison System, as I am sure they will, any chance that $30,000 could pay to teach them some English?
Walker supports “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”, also known as Comprehensive Screwing Of Americans Out Of Their Country.
Fraudulently Documented Foreigners are not immigrants.
Immigrants apply to be Americans and comply with our laws.
“In an effort to increase access to adequate voting documentation, the Consulate’s mobile office coming to Wisconsin, will provide passport renewal services for potential voters, mainly the Latino population. The increasing need has led to Walker’s proposed permanent consulate to replace the monthly mobile consulate visit.”
Latinos are the largest minority in the state according to this article. It’s part of a “get out the illegal, er Latino vote” before the 2016 election.
“Getting the information out to these Latinos is one of the most important tasks, she said, in order that they will be able to utilize their rights and vote in the upcoming election.”
I’m sure that every precaution will be taken to make sure the only Latinos voting are legal US citizens;)
