'No place for hate in the dairy state’

Immigrant advocates make economic argument against bill that would ban sanctuary cities. At a “people’s hearing” in the Capitol on Wednesday, immigration advocates offered many reasons to oppose a bill that would ban sanctuary cities.Some spoke about their experience as undocumented immigrants. An Appleton resident who has lived in the country without documentation for 19 years talked about raising her five kids to be good citizens.“(It’s) unjust to my American children to have their mother sent away,” she said.But the main argument from immigrants, faith leaders and farmers at the gathering was economic: the bill would be devastating to state’s dairy industry, they said.
