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.

Just FYI, for years, Rush pooh-poohed the threat of illegal immigration, parroting the US CofC line that it was "...the sign of a booming economy."

Rush is himself very much a Johnny-come-lately on the illegal immigration issue and has never owned up to his previous completely mistaken stance on it.
