Jesus, Han. You really -are- a liberal. sigh OK, how long did
farmers (and others who employ illegals) have to comply with laws
which were already on the books? How long did they have between the
time the bill was introduced and passed? The time frame is likely
_years, not just months. Why hadn't they rehired _legal_ replacements
during those many months and years, hmm?

This was sprung on them fairly fast. Perhaps they had hoped that the law
would be overturned and gambled wrong.

That's a lie. Governments don't do *anything* fast and this was no exception.
