Idaho: Keep illegal immigration ILLEGAL. By Ronald M. Nate, PhD, President Idaho Freedom Foundation (12/27/2024)
This article is part fundraiser, part alarm about illegal immigration in Idaho. Key points:
An estimated 40,000 illegals currently live in Idaho. We do not know their identities, backgrounds, or reasons for coming here.
Two-thirds of Idaho’s voters cast their ballot for President Donald Trump, who is a strong proponent of secure borders and the rule of law.
Many organizations and government officials are preparing to fend off President Trump’s coming mass deportations.
Holland & Hart, a large immigration firm, is giving presentations to employers who knowingly employ illegals and could be lying to government officials about the immigration status of their workers.
Rick Naerebout, CEO of the Idaho Dairymen’s Association, advocates for dairy farmers who want cheap labor for their farms (which usually means hiring illegal immigrants). He lobbies the Legislature to ignore Idahoans who demand that illegal immigration stop.

Solutions:
Two bills that failed or were not advanced in the 2024 legislative session pushed for strict immigration policies:
House Bill H615 would have prevented unauthorized immigrants in Idaho from accessing publicly-funded assistance: legislature.idaho.gov/s…
House Bill H753 would have created a new crime known as illegal entry: legislature.idaho.gov/s…
Idaho’s legislature must end welfare for illegals, which cost Idaho’s taxpayers up to $405 million every year.
Idaho’s legislature must prohibit illegal entry by non-citizens, which would ensure illegal immigration remains illegal regardless of who occupies the White House.
Holland & Hart Notes:

Holland & Hart also represents St. Luke's in its campaign against Ammon Bundy and Diego Rodriguez following the medical kidnapping of Baby Cyrus Anderson: freedomman.gs/cyrus
Holland & Hart sponsors the LBGTQ+ Boise Pride Festival (2024 "blue" sponsors): boisepridefest.org/2024…
Should St. Luke's have tax exempt status, which partly enable them to pay law firms such as Holland & Hart?
