Florida GOP targets immigration law loopholes to retain immigrants.

TL;DR Summary
Florida Republicans who passed an anti-immigration law are now trying to convince undocumented residents to stay by highlighting the "loopholes" in the legislation. The law, which goes into effect on July 1, includes provisions such as requiring businesses to run new hires through E-Verify and limiting social services for undocumented immigrants. GOP Rep. Rick Roth admitted that the law was designed to "scare migrants" but said that it was not as bad as people thought. However, the law is already causing destabilization among the state's immigrant communities, with some workers leaving for fear of job losses or deportation.
