Idaho Bills

Adds to existing law to prohibit certain limitations on immigration enforcement by a political subdivision of this state, to provide for a cause of action in certain instances, and to provide for the withholding of sales and use tax revenue in certain instances.

States findings of the Legislature and requests the President of the United States and the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States take action with all deliberate speed to adopt and implement targeted immigration reform.

The Federal government controls immigration, naturalization and entry to the United States. The Federal government has failed to meet its responsibility to secure our Nation, at and within its borders, and has failed to provide a guestworker Visa program that can meet the labor demands of domestic business, particularly as relates to year-round agriculture, construction, food processing, manufacturing and hospitality industries. This Memorial expresses the desire of Idaho citizens and business that the Federal immigration system be modernized to secure the border, to provide for a legal workforce of guestworkers, and asks that Idaho’s delegation become National leaders on this topic.
