How Trump’s mass deportation plans could impact Florida
SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plan, which aims to remove undocumented migrants, could significantly impact Florida. While Trump vows to begin deportations on day one, Florida’s state leaders, including House Speaker Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton, have stated that immigration policy is a federal issue, not within the state’s purview. Florida Democrats, like Rep. Marie Woodson, express concerns about the plan’s potential for racial profiling and economic disruption. With over 1 million undocumented residents in Florida, the deportations could hurt the state’s workforce, particularly in hospitality and construction, affecting local economies.
Donald Trump says his mass deportation plan is coming on his first day as president. It could have huge impacts on Florida’s hospitality, construction, and agriculture sectors.
