June 27, 2011: Walker Revokes In-state Tuition For Undocumented Students Attending Univ And Colleges In Wisconsin "- On Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) signed his two-year 2011-2013 budget, which included ending in-state tuition for undocumented students attending public universities and colleges. In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it."...
March 2015:“We strongly dispute this account. Governor Walker has been very clear that he does not support amnesty and believes that border security must be established and the rule of law must be followed. His position has not changed, he does not support citizenship for illegal immigrants, and this story line is false,” she announced in an email to journalists Thursday afternoon.”
“I made it clear that for me, if somebody wants to be a citizen, they need to go back to their country of origin, get in line, no preferential treatment,” Walker said. “In terms of what to do beyond that, again, that’s something we got to work with Congress on.”
The battle for spiritual life looks weird to us mortal-heads.
It looks weird because it is a battle of grace, seeking out high roads to effect conquests, when we could so much more easily simply sabotage our enemies and gloat at their fall.
It would in fact be impossible, not just “impractical,” were not a freely self sacrificing Lord not at the head of it.
But there is one catch. Once we begin playing the game (or war) of grace, it can’t be “grace for me but not for thee.” Our Master forbade such an approach. The only ones out of the game are those who refuse adamantly to the end to play it in the first place.
It would in fact be impossible, not just “impractical,” were not a freely self sacrificing Lord not at the head of it.
(so remove one “not”. so sue me.)
