People whose life and business are hurt by DeSatan still support and vote for the little Hitler!!! The disconnect is unreal, but that's what I see all over Florida (except with young people who are pissed about abortion and housing and guns). Amazing!

Floridas labor shortage gets real in Tampa Bay. Come and arrest me.
With 2,000 employees, it becomes very difficult to monitor it, Gonzmart said in an interview. We think theyre legal but, when we had to check, we found seven people who have been with me 30 years paying taxes, had children, grandchildren and we were required to terminate them.
Im very proud of Gov. DeSantis and everything hes done. I really am, said Gonzmart, a lifelong Republican. It gave everybody confidence and thats why so many people are moving here But my concern is the governor putting in a law that says those who have an expired drivers license cannot renew it because theyre no longer legal. They cannot work. Their papers are no longer legal.
While much of the focus on Floridas new immigration law has been on its impact on agriculture and construction companies, the states pivotal restaurant and lodging industry has drawn less attention, but the repercussions have been profound.

(6,683 posts)I find it perplexing and disappointing that the owner continues to sing the praises of the governor given the impact of his policies on immigrant communities.
According to the article, the Columbia has 2,000 employees; quite the enterprise. I dont believe they didn't know the status of that many long-time employees, as this isn't a simple mom and pop place.
I've lost track; are Florida's immigration policies part of woke dying, or just general hatred?

(9,088 posts)...I'm an educator, and about a third of my students were born out of the US. The vast majority did not come here legally. Everyone hires people without regard to checking their status.
I have no idea why they still support the republicans.

(7,143 posts)Now I see so many people saying they won't visit Florida due to DeFascist & the GOP, it has to be hurting the restaurant business. Yet the idiots will vote for more of it.

Sancho
(9,088 posts)...there has to be something that gets these people to wise up. Immigration reform is real, and the GOP fights it because they know that they would lose Florida if the undocumented were documented.
He didnt think theyd come for him too? And he still likes DeSantis? WTF?
