Impact of Mass Deportation on Wisconsin
“It’s hard to imagine Wisconsin without its immigrant heritage. Whether it’s food, festivals, religious congregations, or even the very names of our communities, there are hints of the old world everywhere you turn, and our communities are all the better for it.” Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson
The incoming administration has promised “on day one” to begin deporting all the illegal immigrants in the country. This appeal to the ignorance and xenophobia of many Americans worked to win the election but implementing this politically motivated action will ...

WHAT DEMOCRATS DID WRONG
Party leaders failed to see the long term need for younger, more vigorous candidates. The bulk of Biden’s term suffered from his shuffling gait, whispery voice, and apparent mental decline. Not that Trump is so much younger, but his demeanor as a bully conveys a message of strength. Sadly.
Dems also failed to foresee Biden’s inability to win a second term and consequently failed to hold a 2024 primary that would have introduced all best possible candidates. Call it allegiance to a venerable old warrior (Biden) or inability to break out of an established order of ...
Are You Really Listening?
Considering we live in a two-party system; I loved Kamala, and I was happy to vote for her. She is such a smart woman, and I loved the joy and the happiness that was expressed in her campaign and in her speeches. The lines to see her were so long! I loved the joy she brought and the hope. Her infectious smile made you happy just to look at her. Kamala is a highly educated and capable woman, and we would elect her to the White House. The first female ever to hold this position. She painted a picture of how it could be for all of us.
But would it? Was she ...
Immigration Successes
With Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign underway, the GOP is accelerating its lies about her work as Vice President. Though responsibility for the southern border rests with the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, they call Harris a failed “Border Czar,” deliberately mischaracterizing her early presidential assignment – to address the root causes of migration – while obscuring her accomplishments.
As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on 6/12/24, VP Harris’ 2021 “Call to Action” has triggered major commitments from ...

November 2024 Constitutional Amendment League of Women Voters
November 2024 Constitutional Amendment
This November, voters will have another harmful, divisive constitutional amendment on their ballot. We will show up and vote no and keep Wisconsin moving forward.
Our voting rights are literally on the ballot with this amendment. The change from "every" to "only" is a downgrade to all of our voting rights. The language changes our constitutionally protected voting rights from a guarantee for all citizens to a limitation that could be used to erode our voting rights.
In fact lawmakers have already discussed this being a step on ...

Congress, Not President, Needs to Act on Immigration
Who are the “migrants” coming to our southern border? “Immigrants” is the new scare word of right-wing political extremists. “Vermin,” “rapists,” “pushers,” “invaders.” Can we think of any more dehumanizing names to call this movement of people attempting to cross our borders?
Is it a serious issue? Yes, it is. Are the evil stereotypes of the masses of people coming to the border correct? No. First of all, the migrants are people who are making a desperate and dangerous journey. They are leaving everything behind in the hope of finding physical ...
