"Florida's Immigration Law Sparks Boycott Threats and Bigotry Concerns"
TL;DR
Latino truck drivers are threatening to boycott delivery in or out of Florida in response to Senate Bill 1718, which requires businesses with 25+ employees to use E-Verify to determine if their employees are legally authorized to work in the U.S. The law also invalidates out-of-state identification cards issued to "unauthorized immigrants." Immigration advocates say the law targets communities that are struggling, and truck drivers are calling for a boycott to show solidarity with their fellow countrymen. The new law will take effect on July 1.
