Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is poised to sign a sweeping anti-immigration bill that would enact the most punitive policies for undocumented workers in any state in the country
Claudia Navarro, the co-executive director of WeCount!, a South Florida organization that advocates for better working conditions for undocumented workers,that the bill’s passage has prompted concern that lawmakers will introduce similar laws across the country.
“We know that with legislators that are anti-immigrant across the country, they do look to other states for leadership to see what can be possible,” said Navarro. “I have no doubt that legislation is going to start being introduced if it hasn’t already been across the state, across the country. And I think what we’ve been hearing, first and foremost, is a hesitation to even be visible.
