MILWAUKEE (WITI) – Thousands of immigration reform advocates marched through Milwaukee on Wednesday, May 1st carrying signs and chanting “si se puede,” which means “yes we can,” with the belief that this is the most politically opportune moment in decades to achieve immigration reform legislation.

“We have a great optimism this year that we’ll actually get some kind of reform done. The political climate has shifted. Before, it was always friction. It was always hard for us to get any good legislation,” Primitivo Torres with Voces de la Frontera said.

Democrats and Republicans in Congress agree on the need to address the issue.

“Paul Ryan was an original co-sponsor of comprehensive immigration reform,” Luis Gutierrez (D – Chicago) said.

Gutierrez says Ryan could hold the key to passing a new law.

Spring has taken a while to arrive, but it does feel good now that it ​has finally arrived. With spring, in come the kittens, the stray dogs and ​ wildlife. HAWS’ Animal Rescue Team is busy on the road!

Stray dogs “happen.” They sneak out when the kids run out the door, they  ​find open gates and go for walks in the spring sunshine – just like we do. ​A friendly dog looks for company where ever it can find it, so with more people outside, more dogs are enticed into excursions. I own huskies that are opportunists, and will run just for the joy of it! If you are not quick at the gate, the chase is on. Stray dogs happen. The most diligent owner can be challenged.

MILWAUKEE (WITI) –  The Oceans of Fun Seal/Sea Lion Show at the Milwaukee County Zoo has announced the birth of its newest member, a female California sea lion, born April 17th.
