Latino truck drivers are encouraging truckers to suspend all deliveries to and from Florida on Saturday to protest the state’s latest immigration law that creates new penalties and restrictions on workers who are in the country illegally.
The protest is set for Saturday because that’s the day the law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in May goes into effect.‘Bracing for turbulent times’: Gov. DeSantis signs immigration bill during visit to Jacksonville“Of course, you’re going to lose a day of work because of that but I think it is for a good cause,” Burdon said.“I am not going to worry about it. That’s politics right there,” Gates said. “I try to make money.
The bill also keeps counties and municipalities from being able to issue IDs for those not in the country legally and invalidates out-of-state IDs for anyone without legal permission to be in the country and makes it a felony to use a fake ID to gain employment. There will be criminal penalties for people who violate the law. That includes a $5,000 fine and up to five years in prison if a person knowingly uses false identification to work.
