So basically, the new law requires companies with 25 or more employees to use E-Verify, so they can't hire illegals.
They are going after companies. I'm not sure why y'all have a problem with it, this is a very good thing.

It's because Florida voters demanded it without thinking how it would bite them in the ass, given how much the state depends on agriculture and the undocumented workers who pick them.
But it's not biting them in the ass. It's hurting shitty companies who are too cheap to hire legal workers and hurting illegal immigrants. Wages will rise for laborers, and that's a good thing.
I don't know bruh, I'm in Florida and no one is coming in to fill the gaps left by the undocumented workers DeSantis is driving away. Fruits are being left unpicked on the trees. Almost everyone here agrees it was a dumb move by a governor who's proving himself even dumber than fucking Trump was. It's our fault though.
You already have plenty of workers, just not ones wiling to work for low wages. The only change is certain things are going to cost more.
lol telling american businesses to pay living wages is like to telling an alcoholic to stop drinking. They're going to open employment to like 6 year olds.
Maybe, but that's also illegal.
I don't think this bothers US businesses much, likely they'll legalize it.
Not sure if it amazes anyone how stupid republican leaders can be. But, then you look at "President" Trump and you remember what almost half the US voters are like...
