How to Protect Idaho from the Border Madness: What the Legislature Can Do

I hope the legislature will take this problem seriously and finally do something about it. The 2024 legislature's efforts were mostly a failure, in my opinion.

Publicintegrity.org reports that immigrant workers will contribute an extra $7 trillion to the U.S. economy within the next decade.
