18. I agree we do in hospital costs but I bet this is a large issue

where many Republican and I bet also many Democrats who own
large farms where they employee more than 50 fulltime workers
do not want to see these workers legalized .

There is an exception in the ACA where they can be exempt for provding health care
for transit workers but many of those farms do employ workers for longer than 120 days
a year. If they do they have to provide them healthcare.

Also another industry is the meat packing where now they have this flow of cheap labor
without providing any health insurance.

I'm fucking glad this is all going to end
