As Florida prepares for the upcoming legislative session on March 4, Miami-Dade lawmakers have introduced numerous bills, including significant immigration proposals. Among these is a mandate for companies to use E-verify to confirm employee eligibility, with penalties including hefty fines for non-compliance. Other bills address public safety following a tragic boating accident and aim to prevent discrimination based on hairstyles in public schools. These legislative efforts signal ongoing immigration reform discussions amidst calls from state leaders for tougher measures.
"Currently, companies with fewer than 25 employees avoid the state requirement to run employees through E-verify background checks for their immigration status."
"Florida Republicans have insisted that we are in an immigration crisis. We are," Pizzo said in mid-February in a report published by Florida Politics.
