At the rate we are going, it wont be long before civil unrest breaks out here.

Walker’s 2011-2013 budget contains proposals that would end access to in-state tuition for undocumented immigrant college students and eliminate the FoodShare program for low-income legal immigrants.

Finally! A politician with some stones! Kudos to him and whomever votes to pass it in Wisconsin.

[kbennkc]

There goes the illegal alien vote. Man he is dum.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Items in Gov. Scott Walker’s new biennial budget would cut programs that provide aid and support to "UNDOCUMENTED" immigrants (Illegal aliens)...

J.P. Cheng seems to have forgotten what he/she was writing about. Only took him/her one sentence to lose his/her train of thought. I fixed it for him/her. There is a HUGE difference between immigrants and "undocumented" immigrants (illegal aliens).

[BAW]

Happy dance time.

[Crucial]

With this budget, Walker is seeking to institutionalize discrimination against low-income immigrant families

So now we discriminate against people by reducing something we offer as charity when they have done nothing but break our laws. Incredible.

[Gene Eric]

>> would cut programs that provide aid and support to immigrants, a move that has drawn outrage among immigrant advocacy groups.

That is rich.

[iowamark]

the FoodShare program, which benefits legal immigrants who do not meet federal residency requirements, Walker said the growing cost of the program was unsustainable in the budget bill.

Sounds like Wisconsin had its' own program for people who did not qualify for Food Stamps. Is this correct?

[kcvl]

“legal immigrants who do not meet federal residency requirements”

So how are they “legal” immigrants?

[Cheetahcat]

“We shouldn’t be giving any taxpayer-funded benefits to people who have come to this country illegally,”

Exactly,Well done!

Christine Neumann-Ortiz is best known as the driving force behind 70,000 people marching through Milwaukee on May 1, 2006 in support of immigrant rights. Scheduled to coincide with May Day, the international workers’ rights holiday, her march was the largest in Wisconsin’s history. On May 1, 2007, she broke her own record, increasing the number of May Day protesters by more than 10,000 people; Milwaukee was the only city in the nation to see such an increase. Urging her followers on with the rallying cry “¡Sí se puede!, Yes we can!,”

Christine is the founder and director of the immigrant worker-run organization Voces de la Frontera. She is a board member of the national organization Fair Immigration Reform Movement as well as several Wisconsin-based immigration and workers’ rights coalitions. She has received several awards for her work, including the 2006 Public Service Award from the Wisconsin chapter of the National Association of Social Workers.

probably, but this is a long time coming. This stuff cannot continue.

Ping!

Four years ago, Christine Neumann-Ortiz took a leave of absence from her day job to devote her time and passion to Voces de la Frontera, the immigrant advocacy and worker rights organization she had founded in 2001.

And she never returned to her job.

This march also will protest the passage of Arizona’s tough new laws against illegal immigrants. “The Arizona law is a logical progression of the failure to enact immigration reform,” she said.

Former Republican state Sen. Cathy Stepp once called Neumann-Ortiz a terrorist and tried to get her prosecuted when she and three others went to Stepp’s Racine County home in 2006 to try to talk to her about her vote on a driver’s license bill that would have required proof of U.S. citizenship. The Racine County district attorney refused to prosecute Neumann-Ortiz.

State Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) doesn’t personally know Neumann-Ortiz, but he’s heard of Voces.

“Horrible,” he called it. “The problem with Voces is that it blurs the distinction between legal and illegal immigration and that’s a very disturbing position to take.”

A self-styled organizer, Neumann-Ortiz said she learned her skills while a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she worked on anti-racism and women’s rights campaigns while earning a degree in English. She also has a master’s degree in Chicano history from the University of Texas at Austin.

The daughter of immigrants - her father was born in Berlin, Germany, her mother in Mexico - she was born in Los Angeles but lived in Spain, Venezuela, Oregon and Alabama because her father was an engineer for UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The family moved here when her father came to teach at UW-Milwaukee. Her mother works for Milwaukee Public Schools.

She lives in Shorewood with her 18-year-old son, who is in college, three dogs and two cats. Neumann-Ortiz’s salary at Voces is $52,000.

In 2006, Neumann-Ortiz took a leave from Milwaukee Area Technical College, where she was coordinator of GED programs for migrants, and organized the first local march to push for immigration reform called “A Day Without Latinos.”

[Principled]

In terms of eliminating the FoodShare program, which benefits legal immigrants who do not meet federal residency requirements, ...

Whaaaa?

First, how can a "legal immigrant" not meet federal residency requirements?

Second, why do Wis taxpayers have a separate fund for just illegal immigrants?

It's just absurd - reward illegal behavior with legal taxpayers' money.

And the illegals are upset the program is being cut? Seriously? You just can't make this stuff up.

Isn't that like robbers being upset that their victims are don't have any more lute to steal?

Mindnumbing....

[Clintonfatigued]

Illegal aliens are called undocumented immigrants? That's like calling drug dealers “unlicensed pharmacists.”

[Roninf5-1]

Undocumented immigrants will lose some civil benefits in budget

Illegal aliens should lose ALL civil benefits. The only thing they should receive is a beating from the local good ol' boys and an unpleasent one way trip back to the border.
