FTA:
By signing his latest fascist legislation which criminalizes undocumented immigrants for…well… just being in Florida, De Santis has effectively chased out virtually the entire undocumented poplulation of the state, which means more than 80% of the construction workers, and nearly 100% of the agricultural workers. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It cascades from there. I just spent half an hour on tiktok, for an old timer like me that’s a bit of a challenge, but it was worth it. In that short amount of time, I saw latin truckers blocking entire highways with their boycotting and refusing to deliver loads in Florida, or to take loads out. They aren’t even undocumented, that’s just the solidarity folks.
Our immigration policy is such an embarrassment. Ignoring the obvious moral side of things, because that doesn’t play with a lot of people, it’s just necessary for the economy. We have a huge demand for these laborers and we simply don’t have a domestic work force to meet that demand. We’re crippling ourselves.
