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

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.
