Hispanic truckers are already refusing to do loads in Florida because of the new law. So who does DeSantis think is going to provide the labor?

"From farming to construction, the law is expected to have a wide-ranging impact on a number of industries vital to Florida's economy," said the report. "Some farm workers are already too scared to go to work and are considering leaving the state, which could cause a huge staffing crisis for Florida agriculture"

"Among other things, the bill institutes new state-level penalties for transporting undocumented immigrants to Florida, imposes new requirements on certain companies to check immigration status, and renders out-of-state driver's licenses issued to undocumented immigrants void in the state"

Hire Americans for a much higher wage. Like double.

 

[easyt65]

FIX the broken / ignored US Immigration picy.

 

[wamose]

Just ENFORCE our immigration policy once and see how that works. Then maybe we can start enforcing our other laws that don't seem to apply to politicians, the rich and connected.

 

[Billiejeens]

So you want businesses to hire illegals? Most liberals want the federal government to crack down on companies hiring illegal immigrants.

I really think that liberals just say that they want that.

Hire Americans for a much higher wage. Like double.

Why only double?

DeSantis' War on Farmworkers and Labor​

And just like clockwork the left start LYING about DeSantis.

 

[wamose]

If we need the workers, let them in. Do it legally where they get a legal wage protected by our wage laws.

There are professionals that get big bucks for advising companies how to get around the existing laws that require a company to certify that they did everything they could to hire a citizen before applying for immigrant labor. In other words, laws don't mean shit to these people. Slave labor does.

Use e-verify or get fined. As I understand it, that is the law.

It's really quite pathetic that Dems can't come up with a single legitimate argument, it's nothing but lie after lie. I'm starting to think Dems are incapable of truth.

 

[wamose]

Let's see if DeSantis has the balls.

Trump does but I don't think DeSantis does.

 

[pknopp]

Trump does but I don't think DeSantis does.

Noted, Trump didn't do squat. DeSantis has at least made the first move.

Starting?

 

[initforme]

Why only double?

Ok triple. I've no problems with that.

 

[okfine]

Wouldn’t that drive up wages for real Americans?
Remember when you wanted that?

It will drive up prices, you dumbloser.

 

[westwall]

Because they weren't paid a fair wage. Dumbass.

 

[westwall]

It will drive up prices, you dumbloser.

So what. Pay people a fair wage and they will work.

Isn't that what you asshats are bleating all the time?

 

[initforme]

Pay enough to attract a laborer. It's not all that hard

 

[Billiejeens]

Ok triple. I've no problems with that.

Why only triple?

 

[initforme]

Why only triple?

Well whats a fair wage in your mind?
