Ballstaedt<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"LEFT\">Donald Trump received the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/elections\/results\/idaho-president-clinton-trump\" target=\"_blank\">majority of Idaho votes<\/a> in the recent election and more than twice as many votes as any other candidate. However, his policies could be a big problem for Idaho. President Trump\u2019s plans to crack down on illegal immigration could weaken a significant part of Idaho\u2019s economy: the undocumented workforce. Even if these workers are not deported, Trump\u2019s recent actions, including ramping up immigration raids, have made undocumented immigrants grow uneasy, with some <a href=\"http:\/\/kboi2.com\/news\/local\/some-idaho-farmers-and-immigrant-workers-worry-about-presidents-immigration-reform\" target=\"_blank\">afraid to go to work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"LEFT\">Without the immigrant workforce, some Idaho business owners don\u2019t believe their industries are sustainable. For example, Terry Jones, the owner of the dairy farm on Rim Fire Ranch in Emmett,\u3000Idaho, <a href=\"http:\/\/kboi2.com\/news\/local\/some-idaho-farmers-and-immigrant-workers-worry-about-presidents-immigration-reform\" target=\"_blank\">explained <\/a>there aren\u2019t enough Americans willing to fill the dairy industry jobs. He may have a point. About 2 in 5 workers in the Idaho dairy industry are immigrants. &#8220;The reason we have those individuals working for us,&#8221; Jones explained, &#8220;is because they are skilled; they know how to care for the animals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racinelaw.net\/blog\/trump-cracking-illegal-immigrants-1-40-idahoans-damage-idaho-economy\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Trump Cracking Down on Illegal Immigrants (About 1 in 40 Idahoans) Could Damage the Idaho Economy\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joseph G.
