E-Verify system in Florida aimed at scaring off workers in worst jobs. Who will fill in?



https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/columns/2023/05/14/porous-e-verify-immigration-system-in-florida-wont-stop-undocumented/70203458007/

If you’re looking for a job in Florida, you might want to consider some red-hot new career opportunities picking vegetables, tarring roofs or cleaning hotel toilets.

Thanks to the imperatives of campaign messaging, Florida is about to make life harder for the hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants working in the state.

We’re going to be spending millions of tax dollars to fly them to other states or to scare them away by implementing a law that fines some of their employers $1,000 per day for giving them jobs.

You might think that chasing undocumented residents from the farm fields, construction sites and janitorial closets where they’ve been working is an exercise in political bottom-feeding.

when prices at the grocery stores go into the stratosphere and farmers start to circle the giant phallus that is the Tallahassee State House (ever seen that place ?) with their tractors, it will get ugly.

When hotels cannot keep up with the maintenance of rooms for those wealthy tourists who flock down in the cold weather, people will stop coming to Florida.

And tarring roofs is a hot, backbreaking, nasty business.

When are Floridians going to realize that the petty little thug in white go-go boots is DESTROYING their state for his own ego ?

Under deSantis, FL is fast becoming a shit hole.
