CNN political analyst and
Republican strategist Ann Navarro told dairy farmers it’s time to make sure
lawmakers “hear your voice” on immigration. Speaking to dairy farmers at the
annual Dairy Strong Conference last week, she says farmers understand the
immigration issue and urged them to keep pushing their representatives in
Washington to act. Immigration is a key issue for dairy farmers since
immigrants make up a large portion of their workforce. Navarro says the
Republican Party “is like a big, dysfunctional family around the holiday
table,” noting that the closer the calendar turns to the midterm election, the
less work Congress will get done. With that in mind, Navarro told dairy farmers
to make their voices heard sooner rather than later. As part of the agreement
in the Senate to end the brief government shutdown, the Senate is expected to consider
immigration issues, primarily DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals,
within the next three weeks.
