"Florida's Immigration Law Triggers Exodus of Construction Workers"

Florida's new immigration law, which requires private employers with 25 or more employees to use the E-Verify system, is causing a mass exodus of migrant workers in the construction industry. This has resulted in a shortage of workers and slowed down the reconstruction process after Hurricane Ian. Employers are noticing a significant decrease in their workforce, leading to concerns about the future of their businesses. While some believe the law is necessary, others argue that it unfairly targets the Latino population and will ultimately lead to price increases and fear among the community.
