A stronger Idaho begins with a stable workforce

What We Believe

The Idaho Alliance for a Legal Workforce believes in strong border security, public safety, and fixing our legal foreign guest worker system so Idaho’s vital industries can access a reliable workforce. As Idaho faces ongoing workforce shortages, we rely on independent research to better understand labor needs and support practical solutions that strengthen communities and the state’s economy.

Why This Alliance Exists

  • Business operations

  • Economic competitiveness

  • Housing and food costs

  • Idaho families and communities

Our goal is to support smart immigration policies that strengthen Idaho’s industries, protect public safety, and promote long-term economic stability.
