Did he want to work overnight with no breaks on school nights?
Also, where are you located? Everywhere in FFX is advertising for lifeguards right now. Never met an “Eastern European temp worker” in that role…

People this legislation is to allow kids to work overnight in jobs that migrants held. If you want your kid working the overnight shift in the factory, you do you.
This issue is that this bill wouldn’t be necessary if we let migrants stay, and also because it’s a slippery slope without a department of education and the very high risk (especially after today’s demented rant) that we enter a depression. Kids will be FORCED to work instead of go to school because the family is impoverished. Despite what the felon said, eggs are now down 59% today, not are groceries down.
Please think it through.

That's inhumane.
It prevents any success in high school. Quite possibly keeps the kid from graduating from HS. But some parents will pressure kids to do it anyway to survive economically— especially as the effect of tariffs and boycotts hit and we hit full recession.
But then, maybe FL is actually forward thinking. Create a permanent underclass trap to replace immigrants. American citizen kids whose parents can’t earn enough to survive/ can’t go to work for fear of ICE raids and work full time overnight in high school to put food on the table. Must sleep sometimes and dont get a real education/ even a high school degree. Continue their whole lives in minimum wage jobs, can’t have abortion, limit access to cheap, safe effective birth control. Destroy the social safety net and blame 16 year olds for not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and supporting their families while pulling good HS grades. Pop out more kids than they can afford and send those kids into the fields at 14, instead of them getting an education. Rinse. Repeat.
Ron DeSantis is a frigging genius! (Pardon me while I go puke. A full shift with no meal break for 16 year olds?).
