A Notion of Immigrants 0
At the Orlando Sentinel, Scott Maxwell raises a question (emphasis in the original):
Why did the governor of Florida use migrants from Texas for his political theater?
Florida, after all, is chock full of undocumented citizens — an estimated 800,000 or more. So instead of playing games with migrants from Texas, many of whom were reportedly legal asylum-seekers, why didn’t Florida’s governor choose some of the many people known to be illegally living and working in his own backyard?
Probably because that would highlight an embarrassing reality for DeSantis — that Florida is a hotbed for illegal immigration, thanks partly to GOP lawmakers who have given companies the greenlight to employ and exploit undocumented workers here.
