About
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don't punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

If you read the article, that's exactly what DeSantis' law does, with predictable results.
And it turned out to be a fucked up disaster, right? Republicans constantly talk as if they want to end all illegal immigration ('build the wall!'), but they don't because our economy is set up, by them, to depend on that source of labor. If they really want to end illegal immigration they'd turn it into legal immigration. As noted, they have a bunch of reasons to love taking advantage of undocumented laborers. DeSantis wanted the "I super tough on brown person!!" points without seeming to understand that the Republican idea is not to actually stop it.
