Immigration bill takes cues from Arizona policy By Beth Pickhard The Daily Cardinal

An immigration bill drafted by a state Republican lawmaker would allow police in Wisconsin to ask for identification if immigrants break the law. The bill’s author, Rep. Don Pridemore, R-Hartford, said the proposal was influenced by Arizona’s immigration legislation passed in April. He said illegal immigrants are leaving Arizona for other states.

“I want Wisconsin to be on record as supporting Arizona.” Don Pridemore State Rep. R-Hartford

“I don’t want Wisconsin to become a destination for these people,” Pridemore said. The proposed law would

not require people to have legal immigration documents on them at all times as the Arizona law demands, Pridemore said. He said those who have their papers requested after a law violation will be given 48 hours to present legal documents to authorities. “I want Wisconsin to be on record as supporting Arizona and of course to get the federal government to enforce their own laws and protect the citizens of the state of Wisconsin,” Pridemore said. Under the law, citizens would be able to sue government officials if they suspected officials were not enforcing the immigration law. Communities not complying with the law could be fined $500 per day. Madison is the only “sanctuary city” in the state, an area that does not allow city funds to be used for immigration enforcement. Pridemore said the bill would prevent city law immigration page 3

Hoofers brought fake snow to the Memorial Union Terrace for its second annual Rail Jam Thursday.

Third hate crime strikes Whitewater “KKK” was spray painted on three cars owned by AfricanAmerican UW-Whitewater students Monday, marking the third hate crime at the university this semester, UW-Whitewater Chancellor Richard Telfer said. The incident, in which the tires of the cars were slashed, follows two similar crimes this semester. Two unknown men approached a female student, pushed her into a fence and made a derogatory comment about her perceived sexual orientation Sunday.

In September, a female student was punched in the face by one of two unidentified men for wearing a “Legalize Gay” shirt. She was also called a “faggot.” “I am dismayed by this incident and the two other hate crimes that have occurred,” Telfer said in a statement. “These are senseless acts of violence perpetrated against our community and they must stop. This type of behavior cannot be tolerated on the UW-Whitewater campus.” University administration is in

the process of planning a meeting with students, faculty and staff in an effort to change the behavior of some members of the community, according to Telfer. The UW-Whitewater police will conduct an investigation on the TELFER current incidents and increase its presence on campus, Telfer said.

Walker criticizes heating plant, healthcare law in letter to Doyle Governor-elect Scott Walker told Gov. Jim Doyle to stop pushing for Democratic policies, including the use of a bio-fuel boiler in the Charter Street Power Plant and healthcare reform in a letter sent Wednesday. Walker said Wisconsin could save as much as $100 million by placing a natural gas boiler in the Charter Street Power Plant instead of the planned bio-fuel boiler. Construction on the facility began in October.

Walker also said one of the first things he wants do as governor is encourage the Wisconsin attorney general to sue the federal government for healthcare legislation passed earlier this year. “Even as the lawsuit is considered by our judicial system, it is clear that the federal law will affect Wisconsin’s management of out Medical Assistance programs,” Walker said in the letter. Daniel Schooff, secretary of the Department of Administration,

said Walker has not been briefed on the issues he commented on. “We will continue to work with you and your team in an orderly and responsible manner,” Schooff said. Doyle’s administration has been cooperative with his transition office, Walker said. “I am confident we can find common ground on my five requests and continue to work towards an orderly transition,” Walker said. —Beth Pickhard

Madison man goes ‘crazy,’ resists arrest at Wando’s Bar

BEN PIERSON/the daily cardinal

Student group Carrotmob held a “buycott” at Ian’s Pizza Thursday night to help the business afford a solar-powered water heater.

Madison police arrested a 21-year-old Madison man after authorities said he was “going crazy” outside of Wando’s Bar on University Avenue Sunday around 1 a.m. Chauncey Vacek, was tentatively charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, according to the police incident report. Vacek was involved in an argu-

ment with other people inside Wando’s and then allegedly began to push people in the bar. Around six police officers arrived at Wando’s to help as bouncers tried to calm Vacek, police said. Vacek did not comply when threatened with the use of a Taser. “Vascek attempted to kick police officers … and tried to pull the lip away from the face of

a 25-year-old victim,” Madison police spokesperson Howard Payne said. Eventually police got Vacek under control and brought him to the Dane County Jail for processing, authorities said. Payne said police suspect alcohol may have been a factor in the incident, although it was not specified as a cause.

“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”
