Where does Wisconsin's Glenn Grothman stand on immigration?

Republican Glenn Grothman, who Nov. 4 cruised to an easy victory in Wisconsin's 6th Congressional District, has demonstrated by past actions, according to NumbersUSA, that he appreciates the negative impact of our federally created immigration crisis on our society, especially American workers. 

But those of us who demand strict enforcement of our immigration laws have been sorely disappointed in the past by politicians who, for lack of a better term, are all foam and no beer when it comes to stepping up to defend American workers from high levels of immigration and aggressively asserting our national sovereignty.

A quick look at Grothman's immigration profile shows that like many others these days who aspire to higher office, he "opposes amnesty" and supports "border security."  He also thinks that E-Verify, the free and easy to use federal program that tells employers in minutes whether new hires are authorized to work here, should be mandatory for all employers. 

But although he is seen as "leaning toward" reducing total immigration, he's done nothing to provide us with an insight to where he stands on "chain migration" that is the primary force that has quadrupled our annual legal immigration levels to more than 1 million people a year since 1990.

And he's rated "indecisive" about limiting worker importation.  That's not too encouraging to the 18 million Americans who want full-time work but can't find it.

In any event, we at the Midwest Coalition to Reduce Immigration will be closely watching Mr. Grothman to see whether he is sincere in his suggested beliefs that our immigration policy should be designed for the benefit of Americans and not the foreign-born.  Only time will tell if he is prepared to adopt the advice of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) who says the GOP must recast itself as the "party of work" and forever end its image as water carriers for  Wall Street.

A final note:  Mr. Grothman says we are a "nation of immigrants," a descriptor that a long-time activist calls a "weary trope," adding that,  "Even after four decades of renewed mass immigration, 87% of us are native-born citizens, thus not 'immigrants' in any sense."

If the nation's mainstream media and those who blindly hang onto every word they print and air object to the term "illegal alien" because it is dehumanizing, etc., etc., then we should also dispense with the schmaltz about our immigration history that in all reality has no place in 21st century America.
