Deep-red Idaho just realized Trump’s immigration policy is lethal for its $20 billion dairy industry

Idaho, a major player in the $20 billion dairy industry, is grappling with the impact of Trump’s immigration policies, which are increasingly seen as detrimental to the sector. A recent poll reveals that 85% of Idaho adults, including 79% of Republicans, favor a legal status pathway for long-term dairy workers, highlighting a significant shift in public opinion. This move is crucial as the industry faces labor shortages that threaten its sustainability and economic stability, underscoring a growing recognition of the need for comprehensive immigration reform.
