Kate Werning: Wisconsin should have a heart when it comes to in-state tuition for immigrant students

The University of Wisconsin-Madison?s all-campus read for this year is “Enrique?s Journey,” the story of a young Honduran boy who makes the harrowing trip to the United States to reunite with his mother. The book shines a light on the hardships immigrants will endure in search of a better life and to maintain family ties, and comes at a time when Wisconsin is limiting opportunities for young residents to pursue a college education….As the campus community discusses “Enrique’s Journey” and as the state gears up for a recall of Gov. Walker, we hope that Wisconsinites and gubernatorial candidates find that they do, indeed, have a heart.
