good evening I'm Dan Hagen and I'm Jessica Dage various Wisconsin studies estimate that immigrants make up over 40% of the dairy industry employees and one worker told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he estimates 90% of immigrant workers are undocumented senator Tammy Baldwin kicked off a campaign tour this morning with a stop at a Merill dairy farm highlighting what she's working on for bur Wisconsin and immigration reform live from Hans Brighton moer received to call a week ago to see if he would host senator Tammy Baldwin on his farm he said yes if you've got an opportunity to speak one-on-one with your federal representative regardless of your politics you're you're a fool not to BR moer took baldon on a tour of his 500 cow Farm in Merill advocating for antitrust legislation climate action and immigration reform many dairy farms rely on foreign workers so yeah we need immigration policy because the fact of the matter is the dairy industry ceases to exist without foreign labor that's a fact earlier this year the Senate was set to pass legislation to hire more border agents and Asylum judges and buy more drug detection equipment but Donald Trump told Republicans not to vote for it frustrating Senator Baldwin we had a very strong border bill and when Donald Trump told his minions I'd rather have chaos for my campaign then fix this problem it died Baldwin said Trump's proposal of mass deportation doesn't make sense to her what does make sense is passing the bill that they tanked and starting to process these cases when somebody seeks Asylum there's a process international law applies that we have to give appropriate hearing if they can approve that they um are are eligible for Asylum then there's a path if they can't then they're going back home Brighton moer said a strong agriculture economy relies on immigrants including his parents who came to this farm from Switzerland 50 years ago Brian moer was thankful for the opportunity to have a conversation with baldon about the future of dairy farms and Rural America and endorsed her in her run for Senate especially when we've got a senator here that understands Rural America that gives a rip about Rural America
