DeSantis' White House Run and Its Implications for Immigrants, Businesses, and the GOP

Florida's new anti-immigration law, which goes into effect on July 1, includes strict employment mandates, such as requiring private employers with 25 or more employees to use E-Verify. Businesses fear this will have a significant impact on Florida's agriculture, construction, and hospitality sectors, which rely heavily on immigrant workers. The law also redefines human smuggling and imposes harsh penalties for violators. Critics say the law will cost the state billions in lost revenue, while supporters argue it will expel recent immigrants and provide more job opportunities for citizens and lawful residents.
