ARIZONA-STYLE ANTI-IMMIGRANT LAW ON THE WAY TO WISCONSIN
State Representative Pridemore has begun to circulate an anti-immigrant bill designed to legalize racial profiling in Wisconsin, similar to Arizona's SB-1070. We must begin to mobilize in mass numbers to fight this attack on our civil rights!

Here is the bill:

Please come to the Capitol this Saturday, March 12 with Voces to show Wisconsin and the world that immigrants will not stand for these attacks, and to also defend:

· BadgerCare, SeniorCare, FamilyCare, & Food Stamps for legal immigrants
· In-state tuition rates for undocumented students
· Medical benefits for undocumented pregnant women

Governor Walker is attacking our civil rights as a Latino and immigrant community. Walker’s budget eliminates in-state tuition rates for undocumented students who want to pursue higher education. If the budget passes, tuition costs for undocumented students would go up 10X at a technical college from $150/credit to $1,500/credit. For the university, it would double from $9,000/year to around $23,000/year.

In addition, the budget would deny access to health care for legal immigrant families who receive Badger Care, Senior Care, Family Care, and food stamps. It would also deny access to prenatal care for undocumented pregnant women, endangering the life of the mother and child.

Massive cuts to public education, health care and government services will impact ALL working class families in Wisconsin. Walker’s plan also eliminates the rights of public employees, such as teachers, from organizing in the workplace. We must mobilize NOW on a mass scale to push back against Walker’s assault on our civil and labor rights; for our children, our families, and our community.
