Did Walker propose legislation in Wisc. opening its borders? Has such a bill been passed? Just curious.

No, that’s not something that can be done at the state level.

But he has flat out stated that he wants to make it unnecessary for anyone to come here illegally in the future, because he believes anyone and everyone from Mexico or the other countries he listed or the whole world who wants to come here should be allowed to.

Also, though he’s not for immediate citizenship for current illegals, he would legalize them and then at some point in the future give them citizenship.

He’s a very dangerous open borders guy.

No, but he has asked the Mexican government to establish a consulate in the state.

An interesting little tidbit from the article:
“Walker pointed out in his letters that Mexico is the second-largest export market for the state with $2.2 billion in products sent to Mexico.

For the last 23 years the state also has had a sister state relationship with the Mexican state of Jalisco, he said.”

There is pressure from both the Chamber of Commerce in WI and the farmers who employ Mexicans. Being that Walker is mainly focused on fiscal issues I think his comment about Mexico being the second largest export market for WI is interesting.

Walker has been all over the map with his statements about immigration and the border issue. Enough to make me nervous about him.
