This law, signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in May, aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sure-a-few-kids-drown-some-get-raped-greg-gutfeld-flames-democrats-for-blowing-off-border-crisis\/\" title=\"\u2018Sure, A Few Kids Drown. Some Get Raped\u2019: Greg Gutfeld Flames Democrats For Blowing Off Border Crisis\">address illegal immigration<\/a> and make the state less attractive to noncitizens without permission to be in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the key changes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Requiring employers with 25 or more workers to verify each new employee using the federal database E-Verify<\/li>\n<li>Invalidating out-of-state driver&#8217;s licenses obtained by illegal immigrants<\/li>\n<li>Mandating hospitals that collect Medicaid dollars to inquire about a patient&#8217;s immigration status<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, under S.B. 1718 proposed by GOP state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/florida-businesses-brace-for-desantis-illegal-immigration-crackdown-on-july-1\/\" title=\"Florida businesses prepare for DeSantis' crackdown on illegal immigration starting July 1.\">fake identification card<\/a> to secure employment could result in felony charges for job applicants, while employers could face a $1,000 fine per day for not using the E-Verify system.<\/p>\n<p>While supporters of the law believe it will address illegal immigration, Democratic state Rep. Dotie Joseph expressed concerns about its impact on the agriculture industry. Joseph predicts that the E-Verify mandate will lead to worker shortages, resulting in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/general-mills-to-raise-prices-on-yogurt-cereal-other-foods-due-to-inflation\/\" title=\"General Mills To Raise Prices On Yogurt, Cereal, Other Foods Due To Inflation\">higher food prices<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-democrats-okay-budget-resolution-fuels-spending-concerns\/\" title=\"Senate Democrats okay budget resolution, fuels spending concerns\">longer wait times<\/a> at restaurants. The construction industry may also face challenges, affecting affordable housing and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these concerns, the law will not lead to the termination of already-hired workers. However, it is estimated that around 390,000 people working in the top six industries in Florida are believed to be illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Business owners have already reported employees quitting, raising concerns about the impact on industries such as tourism, agriculture, and construction. Rep. Darren Soto (D-FL) highlighted the potential effects on affordable housing and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The law also includes stricter penalties for smuggling people within the state and allocates $22 million for the Unauthorized Alien Transport Program, which transports illegal immigrants in Florida to other states.<\/p>\n<p>Protests have taken place across the state, with more planned as the law takes effect. The timing of the law&#8217;s passage and implementation is seen as a significant achievement for Gov. DeSantis, who has positioned it as the nation&#8217;s strongest crackdown on illegal immigration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida businesses and agriculture industry prepare for a new labor law, effective this weekend.
