Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed a new immigration law that's left truckers boycotting the state, construction sites have been abandoned and fruits and vegetables, well, they're rotting in the field. Florida's economy is about to be completely destroyed and these folks sit by like buffoons saying, hey, we've really accomplished something here. No. Look, there's again, why do we do these stories about Florida? Because DeSantis wants to be president of the United States. Okay. So all you gotta do is look and see what's he doing down in Florida to understand how dangerous he could be as a governor of the state. Pick it up.
Yeah. This move by DeSantis to crack down on immigration in Florida is about the dumbest thing you could do. But he's only doing it because he wants to run for president. That is 100% what this is about. He's trying to run for president and he wants to show the country that I'm not the open borders Biden that you've got now. I'm better. Okay. Well, you just basically cut off a workforce that is what, 6% of Florida's workforce.
800,000.
800,000 people that you're now saying you can't work in Florida. You can't work in the hotel industry, which is where they like to go. You can't work in landscaping, which is where they're utilized. Not construction, all of it.
Chicken processing.
We're dependent on them.
Poultry processing. Can't pick strawberries. These are people, look, I gotta tell you something. You were here two hurricanes. Every hurricane, if we didn't have immigrant workers coming in, fixing and rebuilding, we would be in a a disaster.
We still wouldn't be rebuilt.
We still wouldn't have roofs on our houses. Right. So, I think it's sinking in to people that are paying attention to this. You're gonna be killing the economy. You know what the price of orange juice is gonna be by the time this is over, or how expensive it's gonna be to build a house or how expensive it is just to rent a hotel room? Because these people are, you know, they're hard workers, man. They come in here, they want a better life. Now there's another side to it. The US Chamber of Commerce looks at them like just insignificant, necessary entity to get stuff done.
Yeah. Livestock.
Livestock. Cut off an arm, sorry you lost your arm working. We're gonna ship you back to Nicaragua. Sorry, the chemical blinded you, we're gonna ship you back to Mexico. The US Chamber of Commerce, the way they look at this is really, really ugly. All these people, all these folks are expendable. But the truth is, in Florida in particular, these workers have done incredible things to keep our economy alive. And I gotta tell you, look, you know what. This legislation to me is kind of the crown jewel. Okay. First of all, think of these, this legislation, oh, by the way, every one of these things I'm about to talk about. What's this guy's name? Alex Andrad Head.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're good friend Andrade.
Alex Andrad Head. Okay. So they come up with no Democrats can vote. You remember that legislation?
Yeah. That's.
How about blogger? If you're a blogger, you had to register with the governor and the legislature, if you criticize the governor or legislature. Remember that legislation? How about do away with the standards of slander and libel, do away with New York Times v Sullivan.
