That pesky “law of unintended consequences”

The state of Florida wanted to crack down on immigration and thus caused many migrant workers to leave, and left the farmers in the state without workers to work the fields. 

So as this example points out, strawberries are rotting because they aren't picked. And the state says that's because they're not hiring the right people. 

Which are…. Who, exactly? 

And the net result is that the cost of doing business goes up - and consumers will have to pay more just to keep the farm open.
