Florida's Viral Headlines: From Worker Walkouts to Anti-Immigration Laws.
TL;DR
Florida's new anti-immigrant law, signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, mandates that businesses with 25 or more employees verify the citizenship status of workers through the federal online portal E-Verify or face stronger penalties, among other new restrictions. The law, which goes into effect on July 1, is causing fear and frustration among the state's large immigrant communities, who stand to face the brunt of the new rules. Critics say the law will lead to worker shortages and a wide-ranging and intrusive crackdown on the state's large immigrant communities.
