(The law) is impacting their ability to just go about their day like they used For many in Florida’s vast immigrant community, daily life in recent months has become one governed entirely by fear.
Some try to drive as little as possible and make fewer trips to the supermarket. Others no longer take their children to the park and worry about allowing them to attend school. Others still are hiding out — avoiding travel to other states, not getting regular medical check-ups, or closing their businesses and leaving town. And many are just on high alert — all because of a new immigration law Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in May.
One of the strictest in the nation, the law criminalized transporting immigrants lacking permanent legal status into the state, invalidated any U.S. government identification they might have and blocked local governments from providing them with ID cards. Florida hospitals that receive Medicaid are now mandated to ask patients about immigration status and businesses employing 25 or more people must verify their workers’ legal status.
Other aspects of the law go into effect next year.

Law enforcement does all they can-they interview the mojados-male and female they catch and bust “safe houses”-the illegals all tell the same story as they are loaded into vans and taken to detention/deportation centers-they are promised a great life by the traffickers if they will work as ranch hands, domestic servants, food service other unskilled jobs-and the bonus is that your relatives in the home country will stay alive as long as you work for the ransom/loan.
They are not told those jobs are really drug mule/delivery person, prostitute/escort, slave labor on a big corporate factory ranch, farm, etc.
Most of the illegals the cops round up and take to detention are just turned loose after getting a court date-everyone knows that. The big farming/processing corporations have been hiring mojados in their veggie/fruit harvesting/packaging and meat processing plants for a couple of decades at least, especially chicken ones-they know that is slave labor and illegal, but they don’t give a damn-and they are supported by the cheap labor bunch-dems, GOPe and RINOs, etc who won’t deport/arrest anyone and keep pushing what amounts to amnesty for illegals. They have done this for decades, so small wonder LEOs are frustrated.
I’m all for gov Abbot, gov DeSantis and any other governor in a border/southern state bussing, flying, etc as many mojados as possible to the states where the elites live and DC-let that karma bite them in the ass...
The are not “migrants” they are CRIMINALS who have broken our immigration laws they should be imprisoned not paid taxpayer money for food and housed in hotels.
