CHILD LABOR FLORIDA PROPOSAL

Another unbelievable and inhumane act of Florida/DeSantis

Florida is repealing child labor laws to fill the vacancy left by migrant farm workers who ski-daddled.

DeSantis said that a younger workforce could be part of the solution to replace “dirt cheap” migrant labor.

TALLAHASSEE — Teenagers as young as 14 could soon be allowed to work overnight shifts as part of an effort in the Republican-led Legislature to roll back major aspects of the state’s child labor laws.

The proposal — which moved through its first Florida Senate committeeTuesday — comes as Gov. Ron DeSantis says a younger workforce could be part of the solution to replacing “dirt cheap” labor from migrants in the country illegally.

“Why do we say we need to import foreigners, even import them illegally, when you know, teenagers used to work at these resorts, college students should be able to do this stuff,” DeSantis said last week during a panel discussion with President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan.
