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.

They're all one big shocked pickachu rn

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.

this is the “find out” stage, which follows the “fuck around” stage.

No, I think that's the problem. No one to reap.

The funniest thing is that anyone with half a brain could have told them this was going to happen.

The leopard ate his face?

[-] LostCause@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I don‘t understand? What other consequences were they expecting from an anti-immigrant bill?

[-] Jo@readit.buzz 3 points 1 year ago

The intention was, as it always is, to make immigrant labour easier to exploit without affecting supply. But they forgot that immigrants have other options in the middle of a national labour shortage. Oops.

Ah that explains it. Good for the immigrants though, I hope every single one managed to find better than this bullshit attempt at slavery.

I honestly hope they lose everything and have to eat some humble pie... I'll show them some love when they need some food and have some real issues... until then fuck em

Maybe they'll finally have some empathy scared into them. Who am i kidding they'll learn nothing and support the same policies in the future.

[-] sadreality@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I am always amazed how people's politics get ahead of their own interest. This happens at the lower end... real players, know better.

[-] Generic-Disposable@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

The consequences were not unintended. These were the intended consequences. Same consequences that happened in Georgia when they did the same thing and had to roll it back.

[-] quortez@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

The fuck-arounds, are finding out.

It all falls on the voters. If they want to learn the hard way, so be it.
