Matt Edwards

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.

What is happening? Boise is becoming "Little DC"

Excellent article!

Reminder that when the left says "separation of church and state," what they really mean is "every religion is allowed in the public square except Christianity."

So let me get this straight: liberals and moderates in Idaho want to count illegal immigrants in the census BUT not for education and arrest data?! Maybe it’s because they don’t care how much crime/fraud goes on as long as they get a few extra electoral votes for Kamala?!

@TrueMattEdwards the local American Falls Administrator was upset at me last year when I called him out not wanting ice to visit the elementary school. He tried recording me over the phone. I also called Ice on him last fall as well. He wants to keep illegals in our 70% farming town!!

What makes the great state of Idaho Proud? 1) Illegal alien workers 2) Idaho citizens Check out this text message reply we got that the sender thought was going to Sen. Guthrie. Also, did he just admit to becoming successful off of Illegal Labor?

"Idaho’s Trump Country Refuses to Enforce Law & Order" My latest op-ed looks upon the sad fate of the Illegal Immigration bills currently bogged down in the Senate. dailycaucus.com/post/matt-edwa…

And Many Idaho Legislators don’t want to count them either. Primary elections matter. Knock knock.

"This crisis endures not because Democrats own Washington, but because Liz Cheney-style Republicans have made common cause with open-border radicals to keep America’s borders meaningless at the state level." @Citizens_Idaho Executive Director @TrueMattEdwards in @DailyCaucus dailycaucus.com/post/matt-edwa…

Here is the full segment on some of Senator Guthrie's supporters texting us back.

@BennettIdaho As an OB nurse I can say factually this is a lie!! We deliver babies at 24 weeks frequently and they grow to be healthy adults. The cut off for viability is 22 weeks. The case she is quoting would require the mother to receive antibiotics anddelivery. This woman is a menace

One of the children (presumably) living in Rep. Mickelsen’s own district was born at 24 weeks and is thriving. Why would she call these precious children “not viable”? Worse still why would she advocate for killing any child ever?

I’ll humor you. Here is Senator Foreman’s own words. The reason he gives here, is the same and only reason he has given the bill’s sponsors. He claims to also still support the bill and hasn’t removed his name from the bill as a listed co-sponsor. He has repeated the same line over and over to other legislators and has not expanded on what these negotiations are whatsoever. He is stonewalling, and pushing aside his conservative colleagues. You clearly have no clue what is going on with this bill or issue. I suggest you tune in M-F 10:30am PT to watch Idaho Signal right here on X to keep up with the important news coming out of Boise and across Idaho. youtu.be/tf4AMNisCE0?si…

@TrueMattEdwards No Matt, what’s embarrassing is that you have not answered question I have asked you twice: What are Chairman Foreman’s reasons for holding the bill? Surely you have asked him? What are the problems?

"Out of respect for the commitments made by Senator Foreman and his colleagues, we reached out privately. We urged reconsideration and a simple public hearing. When that didn't happen, we had no choice but to act as stewards of The Pledge. We notified Senator Foreman that, unless he schedules a hearing, we are placing him in Questionable Standing with The Pledge. If the session ends without action on H745, further downgrades could follow, with real implications for our support of his efforts. This decision pains us, Senator Foreman has taken many good stands in the past, but our chief duty is to uphold the accountability that every signer expects. The Pledge isn't a suggestion; it's a promise. When one person blocks the work of so many others who signed the same document, we must call it out to preserve trust in the system."

@MarySouzaIdaho Bully? You are out of line and have just insulted 42 upstanding legislators. Embarrassing.

@TrueMattEdwards Matt, you did not answer my question about Chairman Foreman’s reasons for holding the bill in question…do you know why? And just because you used your mandatory Pledge to bully 42 legislators, likely many are new, does not mean you are an “insider” in Idaho’s government.

We got legislators explaining to us how the blackmarket on fake citizenship papers looks like meanwhile telling us there isn't an illegal workforce problem in Idaho.
