Frederica Freyberg:
I know that Sen. Johnson has said he doesn't want ICE to target farmers. What's your perspective on that?

U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald:
Yeah, I mean, we know that there's a high percentage of individuals that have gone through E-Verify that work in the agricultural industries, and it's a big sector. Dairy's huge for us, obviously, here in Wisconsin, and this is an issue that's been discussed in Congress for numerous years. It's not that a farmer doesn't have the ability to ask for specific documents when they hire somebody to work for them — they do, and oftentimes those documents are presented to them. And then I think there's just not much follow up as to whether or not they're actual valid documents. We know this has been going on for some time. I think that's probably what Sen. Johnson is saying: Hey, listen, there's enough of a gray area here that we know exists that, for right now, it doesn't appear that there's any real momentum from Congress to make significant changes to immigration to the point where that E-Verify system is not upheld or changed, or that you're going to have the ability to kind of make significant changes when it comes to agriculture and the people that work in that industry.
