Illegal Immigration + Idaho Connection — How Idaho Got Flooded with 7,750+ Third-World “Refugees” While 13M+ Illegals Invaded America Under Bipartisan Open-Border Schemes. They told you Idaho was "safe." They lied. By Idaho Senator Brian Lenney (11/10/25)

brianlenney.substack.co…

I came to Idaho because it represented everything America used to be...

A place where hardworking Americans could raise families without apology. Where children learned English as their first language. Where our tax dollars stayed in our community.

Most built this life through sacrifice. Some work multiple jobs to afford the mortgage while others work overtime every week to pay for the kid’s sports equipment. Years of saving for a family vacation while others get handouts. Now you watch immigrant families move into subsidized housing while your own children can’t afford simple apartments. You see your kid’s classroom overcrowded with non-English speakers while your property taxes skyrocket to fund translation services you never voted for.

You followed every rule America asked of you. You earned your place here through blood, sweat, and tears. Yet somehow, you’re being displaced in your own homeland by people who contributed nothing to build what you’re losing. — Sen. Brian Lenney

Summary (Grok ai, edited; images from article)

Senator Lenney discusses Idaho's influx of over 7,750 refugees since 2015. The state influx ranks high per capita nationally, amid broader U.S. immigration under bipartisan open-border policies that allowed over 13 million illegal entries.

Every state has seen government prioritization of foreign nationals over American citizens through resettlement programs, taxpayer funding, and visa schemes. Idaho is no exception. The result? Lawfully present Idaho citizens are displaced.

ED NOTE
While walking through a Southern California shopping mall more than 20 years ago we looked around and said, “Soon, we will be the minority demographic, not the majority." Were we prescient or what?

Government Prioritization of Foreign Nationals

  • More than 7,750 foreign nationals have been resettled in Idaho since 2015.

  • Biden’s policies resulted in over 10.8 million border encounters, with 2.5 million released into American communities.

  • In 2021, Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base processed 58,000 Afghan evacuees.

  • President Trump’s executive order provided a temporary reprieve, suspending resettlement and cutting funding, including proposing to eliminate the $307 million Refugee Support Services and $564 million Transitional and Medical Services programs.

    ED NOTE 
    Congress MUST put all reasonable Executive Orders into law, or the next administration could roll them back.

Idaho’s Political Betrayals

  • Governor Brad Little consented to refugee resettlement in December 2019 per Executive Order 13888.

  • Idaho congressional delegation funds programs importing foreign labor.

    • Russ Fulcher voted for the Farm Workforce Modernization Act in 2019 but against it later.

    • Mike Simpson supported DACA, expanded guest worker programs, the Farm Workforce Modernization Act granting work authorization to over one million illegal agricultural workers, and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 doubling H-2B visas.

Funding and Organizations

  • Office of Refugee Resettlement received over $7 billion in FY 2024. Each refugee placement generates $12,750 in federal grants.

  • In Idaho, organizations including the International Rescue Committee and Agency for New Americans (Jannus) process placements.

  • Global resettlement entities include UN High Commissioner for Refugees, International Organization for Migration, and George Soros’s Open Society Foundations.

  • Federal bureaucrats, NGO executives, and corporate lobbyists are all involved.

Call to Action

  • Contact representatives to demand funding for Americans first, county opt-outs, zero NGO funding, and audits.

    ED NOTE
    Our efforts in these and other areas have fallen on deaf ears, at county, state, and federal levels. Maybe we need more and louder voices to flood the phones and inboxes, as many voices get attention. Think about the Dr. Seuss book "Horton Hears a Who" — every voice matters (a.co/d/9WtMjzp)
  • Vote in every election, including primaries. (Idaho 28% turnout in November 2025 election was abysmal.)

  • Read Pat Buchanan’s book "The Death of the West" (a.co/d/gkWM3Pg)

  • Preserve Idaho — and every state — for Americans.

Our Take

Contact every representative (congress, Governor, your reps) immediately. Demand they choose American families over foreign interests or face primary challenges. Tell them: “Fund Americans first or find a new job.” Demand county opt-outs, zero NGO funding, and full financial audits. Connect with patriots in other states and multiply pressure on anti-American funding.

— Sen. Lenney

Sen. Brian Lenney is spot on with his analysis, though we disagree with one point: That the solution to this mess is to threaten incumbents with being primaried (see above). Our experience when supporting (and campaigning for) better primary candidates than the incumbents has been:

  • Few candidates willing to challenge powerful incumbents.

  • Incumbents laugh off the challengers or completely ignore them.

  • Incumbents have monster campaign war chests and supportive PACs that lie and smear the challengers.

  • Challengers have little money or name recognition to refute fears and lies or get their messages to the voters.

  • The major party (especially Republican) supports the safe-choice incumbent, no matter how badly that person has represented us.

  • Voters ignore primaries — even though primaries are most important, especially in Idaho.

  • Voters just want to be told whom to vote for; they don’t want to spend time doing their own research, using the many available tools for learning more, and meeting candidates in person to ask the hard questions.
