I'm confused by this whole debacle. For decades, Democrats have been calling to end migrant exploitation. The largest vector for this, by far, is the use of illegal migrants. Employers pay them under the table, and pay far less than legal migrants. So Florida goes ahead and sets harsh penalties for any businesses hiring illegal migrants. Shouldn't this be praised by everyone on the left?

If the goal is to better the conditions of illegal migrants, than them not getting any jobs due to hateful policies isnt really cutting it.
