DeSantis's Immigration Law Impacts Hurricane Cleanup and Farm Labor in Florida
TL;DR
Undocumented workers who have traditionally helped with hurricane cleanup and rebuilding efforts in Florida are now hesitant to do so due to a new immigration law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. The law, which aims to discourage unauthorized immigrants from living and working in the state, has created fear among undocumented workers of being arrested and deported. As a result, many are choosing to stay away from Florida, potentially impacting the availability of skilled disaster recovery workers during the ongoing hurricane season.
