TL;DR Summary

Florida GOP lawmaker, Rick Roth, who supported an anti-immigration law, is now urging migrant families to stay in the state after the law caused a "major problem" for farmers and tourism. The law, which takes effect next month, is causing some migrants to flee to other states. Roth still supports the law, which he says is meant to keep undocumented immigrants from moving to Florida. However, he admits that the law has negative consequences that he is trying to mitigate. Roth and other GOP lawmakers held a meeting to discuss the law's impact on Monday.
