As DeSantis pulls anti-immigrant stunts, his wealthy 'farmer' supporters in the Ag industry are urging migrant labor to stay and work for them.

On Monday morning, GOP Florida State Representatives Alina Garcia, Rick Roth and Juan Fernandez Barquin spoke at an event in Hialeah, Florida, about the impending implications of SB 1718. At one point, Roth, as captured in a video shared by political activist Thomas Kennedy, said that the bill is meant "to scare" immigrants and urged those in attendance to convince their immigrant acquaintances to stay.

"I'm a farmer and the farmers are mad as hell..we are losing employees...they are already starting to move to Georgia and other states...It's urgent that you talk to all your people

Gotta love how he offers reach-arounds to DeSantis and Trump at the end of his schpiel.
