Madison (HNNUSA) - On Monday, Latinos, supporters and a coalition of organizations, including Voces de la Fronteras from Milwaukee will gather outside the Wisconsin State Capitol to protest Governor Scott Walker's Inauguration at noon.
Walker was sworn in last Thursday, because government state offices were closed over the weekend. Walker who became one of few governors in the U.S. elected without a college degree, actually became governor one minute past midnight today. He will have a ceremonial inauguration on Monday at noon.
Hispanics from throughout the state will be at the Capitol to let Walker know that they oppose his promise to sign into law a similar Arizona SB 1070 law, if the legislature approves such a law.
The protesters also condemn Walker's decision to oppose the $810 million dollar high speed train project, which later the federal government decided to take back the funds and allocated to other states. At least 5,000 would be jobs were lost, according to protesters.
Several state representatives are planning to introduce a similar Arizona immigration enforcement law (Wisconsin Immigration Enforcement Law) in the session beginning this year. The bill is being introduced by Wisconsin State Representative Donald Pridemore (R-Hartford) who vowed to introduce a similar Arizona SB 1070 law in the January session.
Pridemore's Wisconsin's version of SB 1070 will allow local law enforcement officers to detain suspects for 48 hours when they come into contact with them in minor or serious infractions of the law, if officers suspect they are in Wisconsin and in the country illegally.
In a prior statement, “The legislation I will be introducing (1) requires law enforcement to act when they suspect a law has been broken and the perpetrator may be here illegally. (2 Prevent local governments in Wisconsin from providing sanctuary to illegal immigrants and, (3) make it harder for illegal immigrants to get benefits that they are not entitled to,” Pridemore said, “However we will take strong measures to ensure that the bill does not promote racial profiling.”
On the contrary, H. Nelson Goodson said, "Pridemore's bill will eventually lead to racial profiling, discrimination and Civil Rights violations of U.S. Hispanics once it's passed in Wisconsin." Nationally, Goodson is one of the foremost respected immigration rights and reform journalist.
