TL;DR Summary

Videos on social media show several construction sites in Florida abandoned by immigrant workers following the state’s new immigration law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis last week. The law expands requirements for businesses to use E-Verify, prohibits local governments from providing money to organizations that issue identification cards to people illegally in the country, and invalidates out-of-state driver’s licenses held by undocumented immigrants. Migrant advocates warn about the devastating effects the new law may have on agriculture and prices at the grocery store, as farm and hospitality workers may go elsewhere and create an economic gap in Florida.
