And many of them think that they need to deal with immigration, in particular, to do so. The idea is that passing a reform bill would help the party appeal to Hispanics and take the issue away from Democrats in the presidential campaign.

A 2009 University of Madison study shows 40% of dairy workers statewide are immigrants. The study found migrant workers' direct spending equals $14.9 million a year and $8.7 million a year in tax revenue.
