Florida Republicans Admit They Made a Big Mistake With Anti-Immigrant Law

“Republicans are trying to convince immigrants that the law was just to “scare” people, nothing more.”

Instead of paying adults more, some states might let companies hire kids as young as 14 to fill the labor shortage

  • “Republicans in some states are proposing exceptions to child labor regulations.
  • That’s because the labor shortage has impacted industries like meatpacking and construction.
  • Research shows that those industries could attract adult workers if they increased pay and benefits.”

Prosecutors pick their battles. I chose not to pursue an ICE raid in Alabama.
