I don't agree or disagree with the law, but I do like this part of it.

Federal authority should not be as bloated as it is. States and local governments can handle a number of issues without federal input. There's a handful of agencies where across the board policies need to be in place — education, interstate commerce, insurance — but states can better judge how to handle some issues. In this instance, one of Kentucky's largest industries is agriculture. Tourism is fairly high, too. Both rely off migrant labor. There needs to be a realistic federal policy in place to manage the number of people seeking jobs, but states should be able to regulate their own number based off industry needs.
