“If we suddenly kicked out all of the people here, the undocumented, our dairy farms would collapse,” one lawmaker said. “We have to come up with a solution.”
Undocumented (illegal) immigrants? Meaning without insurance and likely to hit and run it thru get in an accident. Good idea. Also some dairy farms should close. Have you seen the public funding of dairy and cheese farms?
You should find a way to make these people legal immigrants. Yes, then we have a wage issue, but you would also have insured taxpayers (in a lot of cases, not all).
Agreed. If undocumented workers are so critical in your community that your farms would collapse without them…why don’t they have a path to citizenship? We know the answer, of course, but that should be the problem we’re solving, not just permitting them to get driver’s licenses as a shoulder-shrugging pseudo-solution.
How about surprise documentation for working immigrants?
