A new immigration bill in Idaho, House Bill 83, is set to move to the House floor after approval from the State Affairs Committee. This bill, devised to regulate unauthorized immigration, classifies a first offense as a misdemeanor and a second offense as a felony. Proponents claim law enforcement would only be allowed to enforce immigration laws if a person is already detained or under investigation for another crime. However, the potential for abuse is both obvious and significant. If passed, the bill would require substantial funding for its implementation.
