This Joint Memorial, passed by the Idaho Legislature, expresses the state's findings that the federal government has failed to adequately secure the U.S. border and control illegal immigration, leading to significant challenges for states like Idaho in areas such as education, healthcare, and law enforcement, and also threatening national security by disrupting labor supply chains and allowing dangerous individuals to enter. The memorial specifically calls upon the President and Congress of the United States to implement targeted immigration reform that includes a secure border with modern technology, an effective guest worker program to meet labor demands in various industries including Idaho's agriculture, and importantly, no amnesty for individuals currently in the U.S. without legal status. It also urges Idaho's congressional delegation to actively advocate for and introduce legislation reflecting these principles.
