FL Gov. DeSantis initiates an anti-immigrant crackdown with SB 1718, triggering immigrant worker walkouts. It restricts licenses, IDs, Medicaid, and enforces E-Verify, fueling his 2024 presidential aspirations.
[translated] It is very sad and unfortunate. They called us today because the painters and the people who do the cement all went to work in another state.In other videos on social media, truck drivers are calling for boycotts of Florida over its new anti-immigrant law.I don’t know about you guys, but my truck will not be going to Florida at all.
So, I mean, those are like the big three things. As well, you know, there is the section for noncitizens who potentially have their bar license right now, are not going to be able to continue having their license, I believe starting November 1st, 2028. So, we have a lot of DACA recipients, as we know, who don’t — it’s not a permanent legal solution to their status, but it does provide some stability through work permits and Social Security for them to be able to stabilize their lives.
But I think it could be a miscalculation. I mean, Florida is in some ways unique. He has, through gerrymandering and voting restrictions, engineered this situation in Florida where he has 28 Republican senators and only 12 Democrats, and so he can push through almost anything he wants to push through. But I’m not sure that what he’s trying to do in Florida will translate nationally and, in fact, gain him wide acceptance on a national level.
So, at the end of the day, people need to understand that, yes, a president — when you go to vote for presidential elections, it matters, absolutely. All elections matter. But that’s the thing. People think that only presidential elections are going to fix their problems, when, really, especially for immigrant populations — right? — the Congress, the Senate, our senators and our elected representatives are the ones that have the power to build and create the laws that we need to protect us.
