In a recent interview with a South Dakota farmer, it was revealed that about half of his workforce consisted of undocumented immigrants. Despite voting for Trump and former Gov. Kristi Noem, the farmer expressed confidence that his workers would not be deported. This situation raises questions about the disconnect between voting choices and policy impacts.
The farmer’s reliance on immigrant labor mirrors the experiences of many in rural areas, including the author’s grandparents on a Montana ranch. The author highlights the essential roles played by immigrant workers in various industries and questions the voting choices of fellow Montanans who support policies that harm immigrants.
The article calls for a reevaluation of political priorities, criticizing Montana legislators for focusing on issues like bathrooms and the Ten Commandments instead of addressing pressing concerns such as housing, healthcare, and taxes. The author urges Montanans to hold their representatives accountable and advocate for policies that benefit all residents, not just a select few.
