Rick Roth said the bill's passage had led to "unintended consequences" and that "farmers are mad as hell" after a mass exodus of undocumented workers.

I don’t just blame him. I blame all the rural republicans who supported him. They scream all this anti-immigrant nonsense and then depend on the immigrants for cheap labor. They can all just be upset together.

We all know our agricultural industry relies on immigrant labor. Instead of using that information and fixing the system, they do things like this and then "have no idea" how it ends up biting them in the ass. Maybe if they thought further than the next election, they wouldn't be in this situation.
