Despite having only been in effect for a month, Florida’s mandatory E-Verify law — which requires employers to hire legal immigrants and American citizens — has already raised wages in working class jobs in the state, the New York Times admits.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) made Florida the largest state in the nation to require all employers with 25 or more employees to screen its workforce through the federal government’s E-Verify system — ensuring that all new hires are legally residing in the United States.

Mandatory E-Verify in Florida took effect July 1.

In a piece where business executives complained that they cannot operate without hiring illegal aliens, the New York Times admits that the law has already helped boost wages for working class Americans who are the most likely to compete against illegal aliens for jobs.

Translation: A lot of Florida's undocumented labor left the state leaving Florida businesses short staffed, desperate, and having to offer more money to try and attract workers.

Why is offering better wages a bad thing? Plenty of Democrats push for living wages and it seems to be fine with Democrats if a law is put in place to enforce it. But when a private employer does it, suddenly it’s a bad thing and wrong ?

My home state Massachuset governor is ready to declare a state of emergency due to the illegal immigrant surge. I was always a supporter of sanctuary cities, but I don't understand how it is becoming a state of emergency. We should continue taking more migrants in Washington DC too.

You aren't paying attention.
When you release nearly 3 million unskilled migrants into the country in under 3 years, "issues" arise.

Exactly. Everyone should be welcomed. What flipped?

I am still pro-sanctuary cities and still think we should welcome these people in larger numbers. But there is no need to become a police state just because we will have more foreigners around. White DC needs some diversity.

I am surrounded by foreigners all the time, at work, when I'm shopping... half the houses in my neighborhood are made up of people born in another country. How much more diversity is needed?

I'm just wondering what the right number is.

Here you go.

Mass declares state of emergency over 20k migrants. They say they shelter system is full and need federal help.

That’s after only 20k!!! Look at NYC having 100k migrants. What about the border stars and the 100’s of thousands they have currently in AZ, Texas, New Mexico, CA?

At what point is enough for Biden to actually close the borders and curb the current border crossing rate as this is unsustainable.

I consider labor shortages wonderful. I have never known anything bad to come from a labor shortage, and what we are doing with our immigration policy is keeping the labor market in constant surplus.

The underlying truth about the immigration battle is that is is fundamentally between those with an insatiable appetite for more cheap, disposable, foreign workers, and those who embrace the social good of tight labor markets.

So as the feds dish out billions of dollars (4 billion in cost to NYC so far), at what point do taxpayers get fed up. How about money being spent on roads, education, healthcare, veterans? Surely why is the govt able to come up with billions for migrants but never has enough money to fund public schools?

Until we replace all GOP in this country with migrants.

Roads and public schools can wait, we have an election next year.

Because Democrats don't want higher wages to be paid in red states.
