New immigration law in Florida creates panic among undocumented workers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2023
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a new immigration law as an attempt to crackdown on employers that are hiring undocumented workers. The law would require undocumented workers to verify their legal status through an online database and would ban local governments from issuing IDs to the undocumented. NBC News' Guad Venegas has more.

#NBCNews #RonDeSantis #Immigration
Business owners are worried abt their profits not the immigrants lets be honest !!
People who live here are worried about food. The price is going to go way up now, and it’s the healthy food. We’ll be buying from Mexico
Well lets add to the people born here who dont wana work the jobs
@@muaythaisaro3175 Do you want to work in the hot AF sun the ENTIRE day for only $10 or less? With absolutely no protections or benefits? That's what these people do. If you want Americans to work these jobs, then companies are going to need to pay more and increase benefits.
I don't see how this is pro business. DeSantis said that he's pro-business. This is anti small business.
Better get working in those fields. Illegal immigrants work many fruit and vegetable fields.
If you’re illegal, you’re breaking the law. This applies to every country.
Wrong, you think that every country is like the US 😂
@@butterfinger4393dude has been here for 18 years already. Why hasn’t he got his citizenship? That’s all we are trying to tell these immigrants. Become a citizen then it wouldn’t be an issue.
@@popcornchicken5552 since he is here illegally he can never be a legal citizen. You do know that right ?
States can do what they want. California does all the time.
The audacity of people who had to do NOTHING but be born here is wild. Tell me you're racist with out telling me you're racist
We are at a point of time where common sense and law creates panic.
I'm puertorican
One of the only not immigrants in America
Mr. Immigrant
@@raullruizz3882your country was conquered by the new Americans. Miss immigrant
NBC is trying to panic viewers with this, make us feel sorry for the illegals, when all the illegal needs to keep working is come into the country legally, get a work visa and do their job.
😂😂
Trump 2024 from California.
18 years of not paying taxes . Federal crime i would think .
Republicans in Florida can be happy now. They can get their jobs working the fields.
@@NIcholasparker88 What does that mean?
What does this mean?
Plenty of blacks that need to be kicked off welfare that can work the fields
Not only that, there re lots of "LEGAL" unemployed Americans to fill the jobs!
@@foundationalstatesmenlet everyone know how that works out 😂😂
Now make a law that strips Cubans from citizenship that arrive "swimming" lets test how "conservative" the Florida Cubans really are.
Like this one, of course, DeSantis will never do that, to his fellow bigots
Just take away food stamps, free housing, and welfare see if they won’t work 😎
Why? Biden barred them from entering through Florida so they'll just go through Mexico instead
Too bad :)
Shhhh! He doesn't want people to know that.
I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA AND I'M A MEXICAN AMERICAN, MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS OWN LAND HERE WHEN IT WAS MEXICO.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION HAS TAKEN OVER OUR STATE, TURNING CITIES INTO SLUMS THAT LOOK LIKE MEXICO. MOST OF THE IMMIGRANTS FIND WORK BUT SINCE THEY ARE FROM LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS THEY GET GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE TOO (OUR TAX MONEY). HIGH CRIME, HOUSING SHORTAGES, TRAFFIC, AND HIGH TAXES HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH UNCONTROLLED IMMIGRATION. I WISH NBC NEWS WOULD REPORT ON HOW ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION HAS NEGATIVELY AFFECTED OUR AMERICAN CITIZENS.
👏👏👏👏💯❤️❤️❤️
That can't be said any better
You ain't never lied
Absolutely
True!! We have a Guest Worker program !
Business owners are going to be very mad. Because they won’t be able to save money by paying people so little. This will hit their profits hard.
It's going to raise the price of your produce at the market.
@@justtubing767 You might not have noticed but that has already happened. This law is going to keep American dollars in this country , which will fight A LOT of inflation.
@@justtubing767Americans used to do these jobs before they started being replaced with cheap labor.
@@justtubing767Ehh we figured it out 150 years ago when they ended slavery. The workers would be better off being legal and having worker rights. Also this should be expanded nation wide.
Ooh no, employers might have to pay an American salary. That's terrible. No more getting a days labor for $2 an hour anymore.
Employers certainly won't take the hit, they'll just pass on the costs to consumers- and that's only if they can find able-bodied people willing to work at the backbreaking labor in the heat the immigrants have been doing.
Florida doesn't need slaves like Democrat states do.
It's Florida. What do you think Florida's view on minimum wages, labor protection, unemployment insurance?
@@what8562 where do you live?
@@billdobbins8372 How old are you?
I can only imagine the rush to fill those positions from American citizens
Or just get a work visa
Picking oranges all day is certainly a dream job.
@@juanisaac5172 It's a job none the less. I've worked on farms and restaurants. What's with the snarky remarks about working outside. Do you have your dream job? I don't think I know anyone that actaully has their dream job. It's just a job like any other.
@@adobedobedo409hefact that it's not obvious that Florida is soon going to have a massive hole to fill for low skill jobs just went right over your head. As was said in a state largely filled with retirees, immigrants with legal papers are not going to be lining up to fill these positions. Did you not watch the video? It's expected Florida is going to lose 13billion in revenue with this dumbasses new bill. Add to that how much revenue was lost or his stupid woke disney battle this guy is costing Florida tax payer billions and yall are still worshipping him .
Heaven forbid Employers may have to pay a livable wage !
Weren't the employers already supposed to be following the e-verify program anyway?
Yes, but many didn’t bother. So now it’s outrageous to insist that they do. What the?
Filling out an i9 form or using e-verify is already required, federally. It's just not enforced by many states. I'm not a fan of Desantis, but in this case, I agree. He's enforcing something that is already required. I think this is important for the safety and security of undocumented workers, as well. These employers need to start paying people a liveable wage if they want to hire Americans.
What you don't understand is, Americans don't want those low paying jobs. Thwir are plenty of jobs available in this country. Mist don't pay enough to make it worth it.
Farmers don't make a lot of money. Having 3 employees for the price of 1, helps keep food prices down.
If these far.wes now have to go an buy expensive heavy equipment to farm because they don't hs e workers, what you think is gonna happen to food prices?
You do know where you good comes from? Right? It doesn't come from the grocery store. It comes out the ground..
It os cheaper to hire a working for $3 and have 100 people pick vegetation, or the farmer will gave to borrow money and pay $100 of thousands for heavy tractors to do it.
See you don't understand this.
And Republicans break laws all the time. Why this one gotta be pushed so hard?
They don't push hard about illegal use of campaign donations. Look what Trump got away with so far.
Letd br real. This isn't about stopp9ng immigration of people making a better life for themselves.
This is white people using laws to continue to hurt people of color because they hate them so much.
They domt go aftwr ill3gal immigrants feom England like that?
Trumps wife was an illegal immigrant. That meand he broke laws, but you voted him President?
But you think uts good for DeSantis to do this? Why? You must hate people of color too.
You know, you all came to this country illegally, and this stole it from its native inhabitants.
Mexicans were here when you got here. Now you want to tell them they csnt come and walk the land they walked foe 1000's of years?
You people are the reason thw world is so messed up. That is historical fact. I'm not being racists. But DeSantis sure is.
“Undocumented” workers are a necessary part of the equation that contributes to Florida’s Billion dollar economy. They buy goods and services, as well as provide labor in jobs that few Americans want because they are difficult. If he wanted to be a genius, develope a plan that provides a path to citizenship. I will never begrudge anyone who wants to provide a better life for their family. Stockholm syndrome is real. I wish many of my latino brothers and sisters realize… it doesn’t matter how blond your hair is or how white your skin looks. You can be fluent in English with no accent…The Republican party will never consider or accept you as “one of them. “You will always be “other”. Like they are coming for the blacks and LGBTQ+….and we hear crickets from you. They are coming for you..just a matter of time.
why aren't you a fan?
@@devonthomas8750well said! I wholeheartedly agree! 💯
@@devonthomas8750
LGBTQ+? Are you a p,edo lover?
Some of these business owners are to blame for this because they do not want to pay Americans a fair and proper wage for work, but take advantage of undocumented immigrants because they can pay them so little and then not give them insurance. There are plenty of taxpaying Americans who need jobs pay them.
This is trues since Slavery times.
EXACTLY it's been happening for a long time then looking at Americans as being lazy.
Just going in to do it can cause them to be sent back. You need to learn. They are very fearful. They are greatful for the hot, hard work that no one will do for so little money.
Tax paying, wanting a job ? WHERE do you hide? Either they do not work, take a job and still will not work, will not work for that low of pay. 6 months trying to get someone to run a register and mop a floor, show up on time or even show up at all. We have A/C so do you think that person will go work in the hot sun all day at that rate of pay?? If they would..... they would have been hired.
It's true it's so many jobs I wanted n had experience but it would say must be bilingual and just speaking for myself it's difficult to learn Spanish. And pay was good but as you said no insurance
18 years working in the US and not a single path to citizenship. Something needs to change.
Right, you can leave.
@@npguruStay mad hateful witch. 😂
@@npguruThat’s the same thing they said to slaves after their “services” were no longer needed.
They can't even speak English after being here for years. This law needs to be for the whole country.
I think you are naive. There are de facto Americans living here for 30, 40 years. And also, not everyone is your stereotype "migrant" with Spanish only. You will be amazed how cruel America has been to those.
I love it.. Keep up the great work RONNIE!!❤❤
18 years and still illegal?!!
Anyone that has broken a law should live in fear of accountability. Why is this worded as if enforcing our laws is evil. These people broke up their families when they paid cartels to come into the US, rather than going through the legal channels.
You joking right? You whites need to look at the last 300 years in this country 🤦♂️ you white people have done nothing but evil. You should be living in fear of accountability
Why is Trump still free then? I guess white collar crime is measure with a different stick eh!
Right
They should all leave and let the Republicans work the fields!
That's exactly what is happening already. Except the MAGA losers are too worthless to do the job.
Shame on you for advocating for the economic destruction of the countries that America's illegals abandoned.
They can't even speak English after being here for years. This law needs to be for the whole country.
Are you saying democrats don’t know hard work or too good for it?
@kushking949 You’d collapse the US economy. You can hate the fact all day long, but we are extremely dependent on these people for their labor.
Keep in mind the guy that's working in your house as an electrician or plumber or an AC mechanic etc. he may not have any licensing at all. And that is why I am against illegal immigration because we have lowered our standards to boost big corporation economy.
And they should be nervous and worried they're here in our country illegally working our jobs. It is way beyond pastime we put a stop to this. I live in Florida and I have all my life and we love our governor here
They are not your jobs tough. They are the employer’s jobs to use. If it gets too expensive they won’t hire native born, there’ll just go broke or switch businesses
I want to see Florida’s economy in two years
Will be better off than Brandonomics
What economy? They won't find US citizens to work the fields so a lot of crops will rot. Construction and service industry jobs won't do as bad but will still take a hit. This is why most Republicans only talk about removing illegals and don't do anything to actually deal with the problem.
@@J.PMorganyou sheep, president has nothing to do with Local FL laws
@@J.PMorganstill better than Trump's tax giveaway to the rich or DeSantis thinking this will help his state when no one will line up to replace most of those illegals after they leave. FL is going to go down the toilet. Biden so far has been doing a better job than either of them.
@@J.PMorganTampa has 1200 openings in just hotel staffing that it can’t fill. Expect higher prices in FL hotels. Stop blaming others for your mistakes!
Finally! I can live my dream of working in the fields! It's a great day to be a Floridian!
Millions of trump supporters are applying for new roofing and fields jobs as we speak.
@@amberturdcoloringbook1733 And for work at the car wash.
Have no fear!
Trailer Park Floridians are here!
Move to Arkansas Florida is done
Me too! I was holding out from my AC controlled office job to work in the fields becase an immigrant took away my prospective job. 😂
These people need to become American citizens if they want to work here. If they are not documented, then they are getting paid cash, not paying taxes. The employers should be charged.
CORRECTION: 0:04
NOT IMMIGRANTS, BUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Get right nbc.
WHY ARE THESE BUSINESSES ALLOWED TO EXPLOIT THESE WORKERS FOR SUCH LOW PAY FOR THIS LONG WITHOUT GOING TO JAIL 😏
And American taxpayer has to pay for them .....
Bc they accept it! They, in #'s, are their own worst bargaining chip. Go back!
Forcing people to pay a pittance to work isn't exactly progress.
@@hushmoney2058uhm you mean not paying for them right?
It all starts with the consumers if they want the product at a low price, then they will be forced to pay less for their workers me as a Mexican American see the problem both ways I don’t choose the side I think both sides are not fair but if you create a path for the people that been here for years working paying taxes when they go to the store when they buy anything they pay taxes. Now my question is where did those taxes go? They don’t file for taxes so who keeps that money come on people we got to see both sides.
Now in another hand, we have a bigger problem we have Americans not wanting to work and get a free handout from the government. This governor needs to address that make programs where workers are needed and put them to work for the handout that will fix lots of problems in all America you stay you pay
Can't wait to see the rich Floridians getting their job back in construction, farming, lawn care, hospitality, etc.
Some of those rich and elderly who moved to Florida will not stay rich for long. Not with the price of home ownership, insurance, hurricanes, healthcare fraud, and soon expensive home care.
ya Americans were completely lost and hopeless without millions of illegals ...
oh wait...no that never happened
they low bid lawn care , construction for illegal peoples.
@@HilarityBribo yep, you had slaves doing all your labor and then Europeans from Ireland and Italy that you also discriminated against. Most were illegal and were called Micks and Wops(without papers). Now it's Latin Americans(who are way more American than any descendants of anglos). You can't keep up with manual labor. You're a little b honestly.
@@HilarityBriboAmericans never existed without immigration or even with immigration 100% compliant with our 2023 hopelessly outdated skewed patchwork of laws, rules, and regulations.
For half of the US history we didn't have any mandatory regulations on immigration.
“Not too many people lining up for those jobs.” People are no longer settling for wages that can’t keep up with living costs they contributed to.
Construction does not depend on illegal workers its just tje GC wants to make sure us small amercan contractors get less of their pie so they make us compete with workers who shouldn be here and dont pay the business taxes
Alabama, Arizona, and Georgia tried this and it backfired spectacularly. DeSantis believes he’s different, but this is going to turn out the same way. Not just the fruits and vegetables industry, but the housing industry which is one of the biggest industry’s in the state.
He's too busy fighting with the Mickey!
Oranges are gonna be way too expensive
Sooo it's ok for illegal non US citizens to take jobs from actual citizens?
@@publicuser2534
I'll gladly pay double for fruits and vegetables to get these rude racist illegals back into their country
@@publicuser2534It'll be cheaper to order oranges from China at that point lol
He's here for 18 years and still not legal???
I know a lady that missed 3 opportunities to be legal in 35 years and still had not have taken advantage.
He may have none.
Her 1st was president Reagan's amnesty.
Her 2nd, boyfriend was willing to marry her but she said no.
Her third, her adult daughter is willing to help her too but she has no money.
Do you know what it takes to become legal? Remember we have no immigration process the process now is years behind. The GOP shoots down immigration reform! Did you think you can just get legal in a few months?
And still can't speak english.....
@@gwmcroy3166Same problem in Texas. We're so glad we don't live there anymore.
And didnt learn any English ?
So if these people arrived here legally, they have nothing to worry about. I see this as an absolute win.
Wait, construction is a skilled job, and there is a reason there are regulations that are supposed to direct it. If someone is not here legally and the company is using them trying to cut corners, guarantee the company is cutting corners elsewhere and that could be putting lives at risk. The companies should be held accountable. I also think that the people that skills have been used should be able to use that to push through making them legal
If you think prices are high right now...just wait.
So you are saying it is okay to hire illegals so you can breach labor laws.
I'd rather pay 10 dollars for a head of lettuce then a buck with the hidden cost to government of these ILLEGAL ALIENS.
I can’t find oranges 🍊
This will truly hurt my juice business
@@lizkim1546 Do you not have a contract or scheduled deliveries? If so, as any legitimate business would, sue the supplier. Not your fault they were using illegal aliens.
Shittyfornia let's illegals mooch off the system and has the worst inflation in the country. Explain that.
Just to let everyone know... there is a federal law forcing employers to file an i9 form that uses a federal database to check for legal right to work. DeSantis just made a state version of it.
I worked HR and ya we would get stop work notices for certain individuals and we were forced to fire individuals who didn't have the legal right to work.
@daveb6125 I was just HR. All I know is first we'd get a letter from the feds to fire a confirmed unauthorized laborer then the state sends some lacky to confirm (we usually send him the termination paperwork) but if we get caught with too many laborers on the roster the state fines is $5k per violation and the state can decide to revoke a business license depending on the severity of the violation.
You were using eVerify which is not a law to use; however I9s and along with ID verification is required. It’s not usually legally advisable to use eVerify for a variety of reasons including being held liable if anything goes wrong with supplying personal identifiable information to a third party, even if it is the federal government. Another issue is opening the door to wrongful termination since eVerify can only be done post hire. The one place we used it at, in the 2 years I worked there we must have had a dozen times where a new hire was flagged illegal erroneously. Again though it’s all a legal thing, most lawyers for each company I’ve worked for (all less than 100 people) have all advised against it but there are lawyers that develop correct procedures to enable eVerify use and keep their client safe from any legal trouble.
And actually if your company is a federal contractor you may very well have to participate in eVerify, sorry just popped in my head.
😂
You’re overlooking the provisions of the law that also ban migrant and refugee workers who are in the U.S. *legally*. These are in full violation of federal immigration laws, not that the “governor” cares.
Are you telling me you used an 18 year illegal immigrant who hasn’t paid a penny in taxes to make me feel remorse?
Nope. He had every opportunity to try and become a citizen with sufficient time in the US.
When they did this in Alabama the state wide restaurant and agricultural industry lost million in revenue! 😐
California should consider to pass the same types of laws as should the entire United States of America and we need to put American Citizens and American Veterans first close and secure all of our borders now...
Florida is gonna find out who really builds America!
Immigrants from around the world built this country
If illegal immigration would be something great Crappyfornia, Shitattle, and Manure York would be inexpensive, safe, secure and prosperous. But hey, since you think that they are great, take them. Put your actions where your big mouth is.
Who really built America? Do you know
@@SalvatoreVenanzio who built America?
@dwaynemeteye5764 you did. So tell are you friends who need jobs that florida has positions.
I want to see Desantis working in the construction for 2 hours only
I can only imagine Wendel Whiner DeSantis on a roof in Florida on a 98 degree day. He wouldn't last an hour. Probably pushing 30 minutes would be too much for his delicate self.
He wont, dont need to, white privilege/power!
Or have him bent over all day picking produce crops. He would collapse.
will not do it for one minute
😂😂😂
Good. One of the few things DeSantis is doing right.
RON DeSantis is the man, I'm with you all the way on this
Ron disantis is the guy who will detroy the economy. Cant wait to see you desparate one day for feeling sorry for you.
It's been a month, and some change since he signed, and yet Florida is still suffering from his great idea 😂
This will backfire when they don't have enough workers to pick the crops and other jobs that regular citizens refuse to perform.
I can’t wait to see it
Alabama & Georgia tried this already. It killed their economies.
No it's fine, they are rolling back child labor laws from the 1930's.
I've worked collecting the harvest and Mexicans that work at those types of jobs. Work at the pace of 3 people while those who blame immigrants were the ones that needed a 15 minute break,every 20 minutes of hard work 😂
backfire? why dont you look at europe and see how illegal immigration worked out? leftist dummy
Let's hope Ron DeSantis is a good Samaritan and helps around in the farms until he gets more supporters.
He will
Good one 👍👍
Maybe he can pick some strawberries 🤣🤣
Subsidizes….
Socialism will keep their prices down until they need to buy from other countries aka Mexico Guatemala and so on
Bring them to iowa. We need hard workers.
Business owners are worried about their profits and not the immigrants. Businesses hiring illegal workers must be punished by heavy fines just like in the UK.
Why would you be panicking if you are here legally?
Oh no they might have to pay people a living wage..
Democrat's benefited too hypocrite . The Davis Act, 1860's to end slave labor, Republican's proposed the bill .Democrats voted against it. Won't here that from the biased media giving you only half a story. JFK Democrat, Ohio. " The left would have thrown President Kennedy under the bus".
LOL exactly
@@3x157 A lot of these farms are now corporate. So they are not hurting for money. Subsidy programs exist because people are better at lobbying for certain things. If they actually invest that money into agricultural products that would keep Americans healthy, then it would be different.
@3x157 what is your point? So , farmers should get away with working undocumented workers to the bones at slaves wages so they can make a profit?
@3x157 I love and respect our farmers. I live in an a.g. area. But it is wrong that so many of you are OK with the exploitation of people. Without a living wage the people you try to feed are suffering. Than you hire immigrants to work your fields and exploit them. While not hiring the people from your own communities. That yes would do the job if you weren't so stingy. You are part of the problem, And keeping wages low only helps the rich. Be a good person and boss pay a living wage.
Illegal immigrants that worked the fields for 20 years have done a lot for the country for little pay. At this point they are American. I think you should document them and make them citizens. They aren't out there creating problems for others. They are working hard.
There not American and are here illegal and should be deported ASAP , you comment is useless. Nice try tho.
If letting them work in peace has been a problem, letting them become citizens will be the end of the world for republicans, it will never happen. But the government should work on helping these people getting legal documents so they can work in peace. All these immigrants want is work, they are not criminals committing crimes out there. They are just hard working people that want to work.
No they aren't they illegals
Then you have Americans sitting on welfare for 20 years.
I agree. There should be some kind of compromise because this seems pretty harsh and not very planned out
If I was living in a country illegally, I'd be living in fear as well. Pro tip, if you were trying to blend in after 18 years you might have learned the language as well...
Americans need that job, the problem is those greedy corporate employers need cheap labors.....

Exactly.
Get off your couches and get into those fields Florida.
We used to with no problems. Just means less profit for the business owners exploiting the illegals.
2:20 You admit half your workforce is illegal and have the gall to complain when the laws actually sorta get enforced? Please, if you are here illegally, you are a criminal. Like it or not.
How many of y'all remember Lawton, Childs governor of Florida back in the 90s I believe. Who took the basic journeyman license regulation out of Florida I was a new electrician at the time and it's severely cut down on our earnings because now you didn't have to have a license to be an electrician anymore or a plumber. The workforce was saturated with unlicensed workers who didn't have to have the training. And it was clear that this was done to keep up with the booming economy and filled it with nonqualified workers. So think about when you come into this country, come in legally and learn how to do a trade. What I have found these workers send their money back home to other countries to support their families in other countries. I've worked with many people from Brazil that are not legal and are still doing this to this day in 2023. So it supports other economies other than ours.
These are not trade jobs they are very low skilled high manual labor jobs that Americans don't want
It supports the economies of both. If they chose to send money back to their families (some have no family and therefore find it easier to leave) they must still pay to survive. Also if an employer takes taxes from their wages automatically, immigrants aren’t getting any refunds for overpayment.
I thought that the fact that they get a MUCH lower salary was helping US economy, or at least, "helping" the company for what they work for. Also, somehow, they get tax deductions from their salary checks, AND they don't send 100% of their salaries to their countries, they spend part of that money here in the US for living costs 🤷🏻♀️ So it's a win- win game, but in long term, even though they pay tax during their work life, they won't have any retirement savings because they won't be granted for that benefit since they're illegals, so when they're old, and tired, they're going to go back to their countries and those countries are going to have to deal with those retirees that during their productive age never work for those economies.
Preventing foreign nationals from purchasing land in Florida - how is this not rule of law for the entire US?!
That's right I don't know if you know this but in Mexico being AUS citizen guess what you can't do own land
You see, "they" did not want foreigners owning the land, but they gave them jobs the law says was meant only for legal residents.
Maybe, instead of illegally entering the US and living in fear, they could consider applying using the many legal methods already in place.
Just apply for citizenship the right way-thank you for saying this
@@jameswatson4110 haha, yes. I couldn't assemble the words to make it short and simple. Ty.

Not a lie. It can take 20+ to get in or for some there is no path
Most of the 250,000 Venezuelans who had received asylum and work permits in Argentina (as well as Uruguay, Paraguay, and other South and Central American countries) were informed about the U.S. sanctuary States and far better benefits, including hotel accommodations, etc. have been pouring into the U.S. by AIR, land, and sea! Based on International Refugee Laws, "the first country of arrival" asylum application (Argentina, for example) will allow the U.S. to deport them back there. Oh, yeah, we know at least 9 out of 10 of the immigrants entering the U.S. and applying for asylum are certainly ineligible. Meanwhile, my relatives' U.S. bus tour to New York had to be canceled because of a lack of hotel accommodations for tourists. NYC has suffered astronomically from so many angles, including housing shortages, hospital beds, long-delayed medical care, poor senior citizens' benefits being cut or markedly diminished to transfer the funds to the newly arrived illegal immigrants, as well as the continuing tens of billions of dollars in cash and weaponry heading for the never-ending Ukraine War.
Should have happened everywhere a long time ago. We need to enforce laws.
You are clueless. Comprehensive immigration reform is needed and Congress is MIA.
You gonna apply at a watermelon farm. 😂
Because it's law doesn't mean it's right.

"The law has created fear." No laws do not create fear, breaking laws is what creates fear. I'm not afraid of this law, because I'm a citizen.
And I’m sure you’re going to be first in line to take their job 😒

Well duh!! Citizens don’t have to worry about that law, only immigrants do. By the way, I disagree about your statement when laws “don’t create fear”. Laws do create fear, the reason why you claim that laws doesn’t create fear is because you never experienced a law that negatively affected you. Let’s say for example that you are an immigrant that came to the United States for a better life. However, you’ve been informed and aware that the United States has passed a exclusion law that would certainly affect your life. You would be scared because it is your future livelihoods, you dreamed of going to here because you think no other place is a great as the United States of America. Now your life has been unexpectedly turned around for the worse.
All these workers need to be vetted and TAXED like anyone else. The business owners need to be responsible for healthcare and housing. They also need proper health screening before coming into this country just like my grandparents received when they came here LEGALLY
I found it hard to believe but I went and researched it. Undocumented immigrants pay somewhere around 9-$12 billion dollars in taxes per year. Which they ultimately do not benefit from.
they pay taxes dude
@@DanielRivera_124 that is simply not true. The masses that huddle in my local homedepot parking lot are picked up and dropped off. Absolutely no papers, no taxes, cash pay.
Yeah, but even when the Democratic National Cult was in the majority, they didn’t do nothing about immigration. Hence they have no intentions, but being a mouth puppet for votes.
Why does an employer need to provide healthcare?
E-verify doesn’t work. Eight years ago the company I worked for went to e-verify. In order to complete the requirements for having a verified workforce, all employees had to be e-verified. Imagine my surprise when I was disqualified by the e-verify program. I am a natural, born U.S. citizen. Thirty percent of the workforce who were citizens were disqualified under e-verify. We all had to file appeals and eventually lawsuits to be allowed to get our jobs back. The union tried to help but wasn’t really successful. For nearly a year I had to work a succession of low wage jobs before I got my job back. I lost my job, my retirement savings and nearly my home because of e-verify. The government even admits that the program has a thirty percent error rate while still trumpeting the programs success. I call it a nightmare. I call it a traumatic experience. I wouldn’t call it a success.
I genuinely didn't know that. I'm gonna do some more research about this and then I'm gonna tell a bunch of people.
The cost of labor is most definitely going to go up. But if the government doesent know and give you permission to be here you should not be in this country. Im sick of taxpayer dollars being spent on people who arent here legally.
Maybe if they had come here through the legal channels they wouldn't be in this predicament.
I get what you saying. But DeSantis is only doing this to improve unemployment. How can you improve this if Americans aren't eager to jump into this line of work?. Make it make sense . What's his real motive?
The problem is that NONE of our politicians want to solve this.
The problem is whites constantly cry about about immigration because they want to keep america as white as they can
Problem is VOTERS are too narrow-minded.
The problem is ! You need to start picking fruits and framing houses, or run a business that dose so with these lazy US citizens for 3 times the cost , good luck 👍
To be honest, Americans love what these people provide -- cheap labor. But at the same time they want to look good so they claim they care about human rights...
@@gabrielgallardo505 We used to do those jobs until your relatives came to do them for $2 an hour. We're not used to living with 25 people in one house so $2 an hour isn't enough to pay the rent.
They need to go. Come back legally
An undocumented friend, now 28, was brought here by parents at age 6. He can't get DACA, doesn't know Mexico or anyone living there...has never even visited! The path to legal immigration is decades long waiting. He's happily employed by employers who appreciate his work and don't want to lose him. There's literally no good ending. It's as if an innocent person is wrongfully imprisoned.
That’s literally my situation… I’m 23 and I’m running out of plans… I’m married no children, I lost my job for the same reason this law is doing. My work was great but they didn’t wanna avoid getting into trouble … now it’s impossible to find a job … I’m scared for sure..
And so? It's the stupid soft on illegal immigration that has caused this problem. How about the millions of people that wait on question all over the world to enter US legally, how about them. Why reward someone for breaking the laws.
In my opinion he should get citizenship, however that is his parents fault not the governments
It’s the parents fault for breaking the law.
Either pay more or help ur illegal workers get rights!
I'd be afraid to enter into and live in any other country illegally. I'm not sure why people are supposed to be comfortable doing it here.
@@orion17333 ridiculous claims. Their countries are safer than America, less expensive than America, more often not even freer than America.

Terrific post.
@@sunshinefl6586 ok?
Get ready for higher prices.
@@sunshinefl6586 I'm willing to pay more for ethical practices.
Good job Florida!!!
It is always about the fear of losing those undocumented workers. Have they even bothered to ask those who are here legally? The people who actually wait in line and do the right thing to come to this country legally for a better life. They did not have the opportunity to walk across the southern border, demand to be let in, and when things don't go their way, they start suing the country that wants to help them. That is just crazy.
there are many people with legal status waiting in line to get work permits.. can you at least make it easier for them?
No!!! White people just want less Hispanics
No, that would be too simple.
Sure. Ask Biden to do something about it as that's a federal issu.
There are backlogs at USCIS with different applications and petitions..
He cracks down on illegal immigration but does nothing to expand legal migration
Republicans never look at the big picture!
That is a federal level task. DeSantis works on the state level. This is a great bill!

@@darrylsheffield7102 Don't be stupid. If illegal immigration would be great, Crappyfornia, Shitattle, and Manure York would be inexpensive, safe, secure and prosperous. So your picture is dumb.

That’s the correct legal way of doing things.

Seriously, how are you liberals so effing ignorant when it comes to modern farming? What, you think the entire technology industry skipped over automating farming practices?
They need to be deported or come back legally. The fact this is a even a question is ridiculous.
Not each individual has the opportunity to be accepted to come legally. Look at the number the food and fruits you eat come from the people whom you wish to send back. Maybe it should be a federal law to give citizenship to each farmer worker as a means. After all they are getting paid way under wage, I think that would be a better solution that would work in favor in favor of everyone. Try to be open minded and it’s not a matter of need. It’s a matter of finding ways.
Well now you have to pay real money, to get the job done
There are almost no visas available for lower-skilled workers. If there were, this situation largely would not exist.
True!
Exactly. The law on purpose is written that way to prevent people from poor countries getting papers. They want to maintain a class of people they can vilify and call illegals while still using them to work.

They’re not paying taxes. They have to go
Undocumented immigrants pay between 9 and 12 billion dollars in taxes annually. Yeah I know. I was surprised too. Go look it up.
They pay sales taxes everytime they buy stuff at the stores.. You fail again.. bot!.

TOO BAD. CRY ME A RIVER. 18 YEARS AND STILL UNDOCUMENTED SHAME ON YOU. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE DONE IT THE CORRECT WAY. UNDOCUMENTED IS THE KEY WORD!!!!
IT'S CALLED GET A WORK VISA
It's easier for construction companies to hire illegal immigrants because they don't have to pay them a high amount as they would an American and wth it being Florida their are no unions to get involved. I know a lot of U.S born Americans who work in construction they should be hiring them. That's what's wrong with this country they outsource for cheap labor and wages.
So the guy's been here for 18 years and never applied for citizenship, or even learned English?? Maybe this DeSantis guy isn't so bad after all 👍
It is time to tell people who entered here illegally to go home, and come back legally.
I’m an immigrant and I came here in the US legal and paying taxes. These businesses should operate legally and hire legal immigrants. Right now, I’m waiting for my wife’s interview at the US embassy for almost 3 years now. It’s hard for me and my wife who underwent through legal procedures and seeing these undocumented immigrants coming here without any sweat and not paying any immigration costs. This is a double edged sword, however, I will accept if they’re paying their fair share of taxes as their contribution to the country. Instead of cracking down these illegal immigrants my suggestion now is for the USCIS/Homeland Security and the Biden Administration to create a law enforcing all illegal immigrants to put their names on what we called “Immigration Parole Law for undocumented” meaning this law should allow all illegal and undocumented immigrants to be on the list and Social Security will be issued to these immigrants and they will pay taxes and graded accordingly if they are behaving as a good citizen (no criminal record, paying taxes and years of service and living here in the US) then this will parole them to become eligible for permanent residency.
The problem is no one wants to work the jobs that illegals do
Well never see a legal migrant working in construction or any hard labor like these industries too many tax credits and privileges
@@crimewaveusa300 I am a legal immigrant and in the beginning, I was cleaning houses on weekends, restaurants at night, and then women's restrooms at a big insurance company during my lunch hours while I was going to school.

So, please, do not generalize
At least you did the right thing; I credit you for it
Exactly that one thing getting to the country as legal immigrants is difficult that illegal that the irony of life
The cheap labor also drives wages down and increases competition for actual Americans trying to do the same work.
Stop it cause you don’t really know. My friends tell me all the times they’d never get a job working on a farm for a million dollars. We don’t want these kind of jobs when we went to university and want to be lawyers and doctors and what not. Do you think I’m gonna waste going to school for nursing to do one of these jobs???? Stop it. We don’t want these jobs for $2 or $50 an hour.

Every American can not afford to enter university at those astronomical prices and every American doesn’t want to be doctors a lawyers, what you are is a racist because immigrants must work these back breaking low wage jobs so you can be a “doctor” go work in the fields and get a fair wage as every LEGAL person in this country should
How does cheap labor drive down wages? We currently have an $11. minimum wage that will go up to $12. in September, and 3bmore September's after that until it hits the $15. minimum wage that the voters approved a couple of years ago.
deport anyone who ain’t here legally let’s go
Good,this is a deterrent
Good luck to farmers, construction companies, hotels and restaurants industries.
What you are saying is racist
Yes, and so much of that is Florida's mainstream industries.. Radical Ronnie D. does not think things through before he acts, which makes him dangerous. This is just going to bite him in the behind, and he will carry the baggage..
And then watch the prices of food go up higher of no one to pick food or drive it to its destination.
Then people will have to work harder to eat. Or spend less money on useles junk. My gosh, how terrible.
Their prices have never been so inflated. They are greedy.
That's not true a lot of people are in line for those jobs, sad to say they just don't want to pay them properly and that's the real problem. They want cheap labor so that they will have a bigger take away and to me that's greed. A deadly sin
Well now thanks to DeSantis, those higher wages will manifest in very high food prices
They should pull themselves up by the bootstraps and stop complaining work is work , cry me a River
If you paid more, I'd take these jobs. Fresh air, sunshine, and no women yakking all day.
Housing costs are a greater greed imo
Finally the truth
This law will not braking up families. This is sad to make people feel guilty for enforcing the laws. The people that came here illegally chose to do so. They are responsible for their actions. Had they came here legally this would not affect them. The fix is to allow victimless crime prisoners with work experience to work these jobs in exchange for early release. There are homeless people with work experience that can fill these positions. Problem solved.
We need this law in all 50 states.
You have to fix the problem. This is the right way to do it.
You don't want the undocumented? Then document them. How hard could that be? Unless you really don't want to. Welcome to California, we grow oranges also, and my yard needs a good gardener. Hardest working people on earth, I love them.
No, makes too much sense. He rather fight Mickey about Wokeness.
