Impact of Florida's New Immigration Law

The video discusses the impact of a new immigration law in Florida, signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, which affects undocumented workers and employers. The law requires employers to verify immigration status, criminalizes transporting undocumented individuals, and mandates hospitals to report patient immigration status. This has led to fear among migrant workers, who are crucial to Florida's agriculture, and has caused some to consider leaving the state. The law's implications are significant, affecting both the economy and the lives of approximately 775,000 undocumented immigrants in Florida.
