Immigration Bill Causes Workforce Shortage and Political Tensions in South Florida.
TL;DR
South Florida construction workers are reporting that many employees are not showing up to work due to fear of deportation if Florida Senate Bill 1718 is signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis. The bill would impose a $10,000 fine on businesses for every undocumented employee and revoke their business license. The bill also requires hospitals to report the immigration status of patients using Medicare. The law would take effect on July 1st.
