Polls are showing that even in a midwestern state like Wisconsin, the issue of immigration and border security is near the top of the list for voter concerns this election season. The two main presidential candidates offer vastly different approaches to solving the problem while Congress has failed to pass any solution at all. Our guests today will help us better understand how our state is experiencing the immigration issue – WisconsinEye’s Newsmakers is joined by Erin Barbato, Director of the Immigrant Justice Clinic at the University of Wisconsin Law School, Dave Daniels, dairy farmer and Wisconsin Farm Bureau Board Member and Patrick Singer, President – Whitewater Common Council.
