Can Wisconsin Dells Influence Presidential Election Immigration Debate to save the local economy

Immigration will be a primary issue in the approaching Presidential Election.  Wisconsin Dells is a global community populated with more than 4500 work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country through the Federal J1VISA Immigration Program to support local tourism efforts.

Residents through local elected officials have assigned millions of publicly collected dollars to build new housing for this growing immigrating staff.  Local business modals have received millions of publicly collected dollars to construct investment grade improvements upon their land to provide tourism jobs that require more and more immigrating staff to come live in the Wisconsin Dells area.

The entire economy of the Wisconsin Dells area is dependent upon open immigration policy at the Federal, State, and local level.  Any change that makes it more difficult for individuals to come from outside of the Country to temporarily live in Wisconsin Dells will result in a local economic collapse.

Residents in the Wisconsin Dells area are beginning to understand there are more work experience travelers who come from outside of the Country to temporarily live in Wisconsin Dells than there are permanent residents.  This leaves the Wisconsin Dells area questioning how this small population of permanent residents could have any real impact upon the immigration issue in the approaching Presidential Election.

The critical lack is labor.  The Village of Lake Delton has given the Kalahari Resort 10 million publicly collected dollars to build a convention center ( 212 thousand square feet) capable of serving large regional- national groups.  This is a public - private partnership forged to create a physical location that will require more and more immigrating staff from outside of the Country to come live in new housing paid for by public collected dollars.

These long term hefty investments of public resources on short term business modals that depend upon staff immigrating from outside of the Country to function can call the elected officials ability to be a good steward of public resources in to question.  Expect to hear more about the immigration issue in the approaching Presidential Election.
