95% of business in Florida don't have to use E-Verify. Only businesses that are contracted to provide products or services to the State of Florida goverment are required to use E-Verify.
If DeSantis was serious about illegals working in Florida, he'd push for E-Verify to be mandated by all Florida businesses.
It exempts agriculture and businesses with fewer than 10 employees. They changed the law in 2019.

Excuse me? I'm not guaranteeing ANYTHING. What would that even look like? I'm right, or I owe you 200 bucks?
This is a conversation.
And if you honestly don't think that truly removing undocumented workers from employment in Florida won't have devastating affects on the service industries, well, listen and learn.
ErieGuy, if your signature is correct, you live in an area with 1.6% hispanic people. You have no idea what the economies are like when the service industries are run largely by undocumented hispanic workers. You aren't experiencing it.
A couple years ago, a friend who lives in Atlanta, said that contractors would drive through Home Depot and ask in Spanish, who wants to work for $20 a day? He said they would fight to get in the truck.
Not fair to us or them either.
Yeah, it's like a running joke here. Been happening for decades. They stand around in groups every morning in the Home Depot parking lot and wait for work.
Let's see. Let's meet back here in two years, and if DeSantis has made good on his threat that all businesses must be everify compliant (and I would actually like that rule to go further - they need to have no undocumented workers receiving wages, not just document they're "everify compliant"), let's see the howls of landscaping and housekeeping companies. Or see that there's no change in the number of landscaping businesses and housekeeping companies.
More deflection and refusal to answer questions trying to buy yourself time so as to not answer them. These businesses prosper all over the country and Florida is no different who’s working for them.
Where’s the proof to your claim of folks in Maine not hiring crews of house painters and lawn cutters, as it has zero to do with Florida?

if you would read the link...there's only 6 businesses in Florida in non-compliance
I don't know that "middle income earners" across the country do afford these services at the rate that Texans do.
I know for a fact that in Maine, it's much less common to have crews do your lawn mowing and house painting. They do it themselves. And the illegal population in Maine is very low.
How do I know these workers are illegals? I'm not dumb. And also, they're skinny. When you see a bunch of young skinny Mexican descent men talking to each other in Spanish and playing Mexican music on a landscaping crew, they're illegals.
dear enlightened ClaraC, gone to the dark side of profiling and stereotyping.
Tell us about how much time you've spent in Maine during a variety of months over the last 2 years, since you "know for a fact". Does a Maine house typically have the same growing period as Texas? Landscaping (mow blow and go) needs?

You’re in such a hurry for that gotcha moment that you can’t even understand the guarantee was made by the other poster that they have no proof of…and I wouldn’t trust you to have 200 bucks to pay.
Another assumption, and you’ve provided nothing to be able to listen and learn from you. Just unfounded claims with nothing to back them up.
