for all of those retirees that moved to save money on their State taxes and invested in DeSantis.

Not to mention low wage service and hospitality workers, crucial to the tourist industry, seeking employment in less hostile States.

Florida Republicans on Monday met with migrants to urge them not to leave the state in the wake of a new anti-immigration law that is sparking boycotts of the state.

An NPR analysis determined that the law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) "limits social services for undocumented immigrants, allocates millions more tax dollars to expand DeSantis' migrant relocation program, invalidates driver's licenses issued to undocumented people by other states, and requires hospitals that get Medicaid dollars to ask for a patient's immigration status."

On Monday, state Reps. Alina Garcia (R) and Rick Roth (R) spoke at an event advising migrants of the impacts of SB1718.

Video of the event was obtained by Thomas Kennedy of the Democratic National Committee.

I think that Florida is about to find out how important immigrant labor really is to their economy.

FAFO!

All of the un-employed republican white folks will harvest the crops for just above minimum wage. Sure, they'd love to labor in the hot sun, doing back-breaking work for .... peanuts.

Maybe Ron will take a day and share the load?
