But But But.... (States CAN Stop Illegal Immigration) (Florida)

If your state doesn't then they don't care.

The Department of Economic Opportunity sent letters to several businesses, flagging the various companies for “repeat non-responsiveness” to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).

“If you persist and fail to respond to the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), there will be significant consequences,” the letters reads, warning that the notice serves as the “final opportunity to respond before consequences are initiated.”

Florida's legislature passed a law that required all employers to run E-Verify on every employee and certify they have done so, subject to audit. This is a trivial, no-cost requirement in that its a simple computer check. It is not absolutely bomb-proof but very close, and makes using a stolen Social Security number (or a made up one) almost certain to get declined and, for those employers who "don't care" they won't run it at all and thus can't be in compliance.

As I have repeatedly pointed out virtually all of the scams -- the medical billing scam (charging someone more through their insurance than if they pay cash, often by 10x as much) or otherwise refusing level and consistent pricing in that marketplace, engaging in pricing-fixing in the medical field and similar nonsense can all be fixed at the state licensing level because states have a near-plenary power to regular business licenses. A business license is a privilege, not a right.

No license, no business.

It doesn't matter what the business is. From the corner convenience store to the largest bank or insurance company if you don't have that license from the state (and usually from the county as well in many cases) you don't operate and if you try to get cute with it you get arrested. For real.

Virtually all of the really ugly nonsense that goes on "mandated" by the Federal Government can be stopped at the state level via this mechanism. If it touches a business interest in some way (and it nearly always does) any state that chooses to do so can cut it off by conditioning business licenses on not doing that and the Federal Government has nothing they can do about it.....

States and probably Florida will shut down without illegals working the farms. I promise if DeSantis tries this he will be in big-doo-doo

“States and probably Florida will shut down without illegals working the farms.”

Why can’t they use LEGAL migrant workers via the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Worker Program?

Because the landscapers and roofers and garbage haulers have all of those employed.

I see.

You actually do believe it. That’s hilarious!

Do you still wear a face mask? Are you caught up on all your “covid” boosters?

The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.

The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural citizen parents = nat born citizen);
5) end work visas;
6) 40-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund from tax on remittances. Use tax on remittances to replenish Social Security account.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls

Lol. There’s already millions of illegals in Florida. How dumb are you not realizing illegals are detrimental to the state. Laws are laws,no?
