Brookfield/Elm Grove Monthly

BROOKFIELD — Gov. Scott Walker joined employees at Walsh Products as they celebrated the company's 100th anniversary June 19. "This is an exemplary business, demonstrating priorities and ideals that align with those of our state as we continue to improve our business cli- mate. Walsh's Brookfield location employs more than 40 Wisconsinites – keeping jobs here in our state, and choosing to support our economy and invest in Wisconsin," Walker said. Walsh Products manufactures more than 300 horse-related products includ- ing leather, nylon, and synthetic prod- ucts for use in standardbred racing, English hunter/jumper, thoroughbred, and saddlebred markets. "Owning and operating Walsh Prod- ucts has been a dream come true for Thea and I. Every day we get to com- bine our lifelong passion for equine sports with the joys of owning our own business. We feel very blessed to be in this position, and are very thankful for the groundwork that was laid by the previous owners. It was very special to have members of all three families who have owned Walsh here with us for this once-in-a-lifetime occasion," said Paul M. Treiber, President and CEO of Walsh Products. Walker also proclaimed June 19 as Walsh Products Day. – Freeman Staff Page 4A • Freeman Brookfield & Elm Grove JULY 2014 VISIT THE NICE GUYS AT SOERENS FORD FOR AN OPEN AND HONEST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE.

By Sarah Pryor Freeman Staff WAUKESHA — Last month, the U.S. Conference of Mayors called for the creation of an easier path to citi- zenship for immigrants, but local mayors have different ideas about what that path should look like. The USCM "voted overwhelmingly" for a resolution that urges the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and U.S. Department of Homeland Security to make poli- cy changes that will increase the number of U.S. citizens from the pool of eligible lawful permanent residents, according to a press release from Voces de la Frontera, a Wisconsin immigrants' rights group. The resolution states that it is in the interest of the fed- eral government to minimize barriers to naturalization by reducing fees for citizenship applicants and "offering alternatives like a sliding-scale income based approach or family unit fee," according to the release. Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly admitted he didn't have extensive knowledge about immigration and naturaliza- tion, but he did note that most United States citizens live here because their ancestors immigrated here. "I am of the opinion, however, that the federal govern- ment needs to address the issue that there are too many people that have been in the U.S. for years and have been law-abiding, gainfully employed and productive members of society who are unable to become citizens," Reilly said. "I believe that immigration reform is needed to allow hardworking, law-abiding people to become citi- zens." Brookfield Mayor Steve Ponto said before there can be a comprehensive solution to the immigration situation, the federal government must establish control of our southern border. "We had a supposedly comprehensive reform of the immigration system in 1986, and the current situation is worse than it was then," Ponto said. "True control of the border is a prerequisite to immigration reform." Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he stands with other mayors who support the resolution saying the Unit- ed States has always been a country of immigrants. "It is important to Milwaukee families, in particular to Hispanic families, and respectful of people who con- tribute to our economy," Barrett said in the release from Voces de la Frontera. Racine Mayor John Dickert attended the USCM confer- ence and voted in support of the resolution. "It's time we set aside the rhetoric and pass immigra- tion reform," Dickert said.
