Idaho dairy runs on 90% foreign-born labor (much of it illegal), costing taxpayers $58M a year in subsidies. Meanwhile dairies in Pennsylvania operate with legal workers, good wages, and real profits. The dairy lobby is fighting hard to kill Idaho’s E-Verify bill (HB 704). It passed the House but is sitting in Senate State Affairs with no hearing. Over 70% of Idahoans support action on illegal labor. Let the people’s representatives vote, @kelly_a_anthon.

1/ Idaho dairy feeds America - 3rd in U.S. milk/cheese, $3.8 B a year - but ~90 % of the workforce is foreign-born, most here illegally. Meanwhile, Pleasant View Farms in PA milks 3k cows with ZERO illegals and thrives. Why can’t Idaho dairies do the same? Let’s break it down.👇

This is exactly what we’re seeing with Idaho's E-Verify bill, HB704. Overwhelming support from voters… and still getting stalled. That’s not an accident. It’s a failure of Senate leadership... and a governor who’s absent on the most important issue facing the state.

You barley need ICE agents if you tax remittances, punish the employers of illegal, and deny them banking End healthcare, education, and welfare for illegals and the scam is over Everyone knows this, including the Trump admin

@Durrant4Idaho Hi again Melissa! Must have missed the last two times I've asked so I will ask again- Do you support mandated e-verify use for all Idaho employers?

I didn’t just talk about improving education, I delivered. Enhanced school facilities while protecting taxpayer dollars. A brighter future for Idaho’s children is the legacy I stand behind.

@MichaelAngil So people like me (an Idaho taxpayer) are subsidizing wealthy dairy owners. They get tax breaks & cheap labor and I get poorer. What a great system ☹️.

@MichaelAngil They don’t want to lose their lifestyle. Take a look at the dairies in the Magic Valley. We are talking mega million families, massive homes, vacations, expensive cars. If they had to operate legally; they’d have to give up their luxurious lifestyle

@GFY_Trucking Yup, the BigAg lobby frames E-Verify as an attack on farmers when the opposite is true. It protects smaller farmers who are already playing by the rules from unfair competition by the big corporate farms which use illegal labor.

@MichaelAngil You see this elsewhere in Idaho as well. Half of Elk Mountain Farms seasonal employees are H2A visa workers from Mexico. This farm is owned and operated by Anheuser-Busch. Evidently this is common practice for hops production in Idaho.

@MichaelAngil Why are we the people paying for this? What would happen if we said, ok, you can keep your unlawful labor force but YOU have to pay their living expenses? All inclusive. Every dime.

The dairy lobby says enforcement would “destroy the industry.” But dairies in states like Pennsylvania operate with LEGAL workers, automation, and good wages. And they thrive. Idaho can too.

HB 660 just passed the Idaho House, 40–30. The bill simply requires state and local law enforcement to verify and record the immigration status and nationality of individuals who are arrested. Nothing radical. Just basic transparency. The House has acted. Now the question: will the Senate give it a hearing? Or will it get stuffed in a drawer like the other immigration enforcement bills?

Meanwhile @IACI1974 is texting this gaslighting message to constituents in District 32. IACI is the lobbying arm for major corporate interests in Big Ag, dairy, and construction. They claim Rep. Bingham supports immigration enforcement. Her actual voting record: NO on every enforcement bill this session.

Gov. @BradLittleIdaho appointed Rep. Bingham to the Idaho Legislature. She has received an F on immigration enforcement, voting NO on every enforcement bill this session. Governor, does this vote record reflect your views? Rep. Erin Bingham, would you like to explain your votes to Idahoans?

Idaho voters strongly support immigration enforcement. 70%+ support it. A clear mandate. But good enforcement bills collide with industries dependent on illegal labor: Big Ag, dairy, cheap construction, and their outsized influence in the Capitol, especially the Senate. Too many legislators still treat the country like an economic zone meant to supply cheap labor, instead of a nation with borders, laws, language, and culture.

What's going on in Idaho? They are on the Canadian border and have an illegal alien problem like California.

@MichaelAngil @BradLittleIdaho I heard once that the district party holding the vacated seat provides 3 names to the governor from which he picks the replacement. Is that true? If so, I wonder who the other candidates were.
