    how many of your clients use e-verify? do you think they will start to use it if it costs them crews or long-time employees or will they just go cash with them? I know what some in my world are doing and it seems to be a combination of ignoring it until they can't and then going cash. They can't replace the workers.

    Maybe this will force industry groups to form labor co-ops and sponsor immigrants for labor supply and be responsible for all the things that go with being the sponsor.

    wow...he focuses on gender ideology while ignoring the arts and humanities programs he wants to close under the guise of the new law

    'How employable are you?' Ron DeSantis insults students eyeing 'niche subjects' he wants to ban (msn.com)

    House Bill 999 would "ban state colleges and universities from using funds to 'promote, support, or maintain any programs or campus activities that espouse diversity, equity, or inclusion [DEI] or Critical Race Theory rhetoric.' The bill would also give the state's board of governors the ability to remove 'any major or minor that is based on or otherwise utilizes pedagogical methodology associated with Critical Theory,'" CBS News added.

    In a speech on Monday, DeSantis urged prospective college students to leave the Sunshine State to pursue the degrees that he abhors and then warned them that if they do, they will struggle to find a job.

    "If you want to do things like gender ideology go to Berkeley. Go to some of these other places. That's fine. It's fine," DeSantis said to cheers.

    "And there's nothing — if that's what you wanna do there's, there's nothing wrong with that, uh, per se — but for us, with our tax dollars, we wanna focus on the classical mission of what a university is supposed to be. We don't want to be diverted into a lot of these niche subjects that are heavily politicized," DeSantis continued.

    meanwhile in the free state of Colorado, I am having floors installed in my condo as I type, enjoying a beer at Outer Range, savoring a nice peak 10 view & saving 5k. Supposed to show at 8, showed at 7:50. alternative woulda been to see (if they showed at all) a bunch of mud season ski bums show at 10:30 & spend the day on their phones for twice the cost. Thank god our gov ain't solving fake probs. I'd use e-verify to know who not to hire.

    Nah. My best friend lives in Parker and he loves Outer Range. He illegally mails me some every few months. Don't tell the police.

    Make sure to check the passport of anyone you give a ride to here. We will have a special season soon to repeal the full faith and credit clause. Btw: these are not unknown or unintended consequences. Alabama passed and repealed the same law a few years ago because they couldn’t get migrant workers. DeSanits is an anti-business governor who only cares about satiating his hate filled base. I can’t wait for all those people who voted against socialism to be driving their undocumented relatives and get arrested for transporting them.

    some of the farmers across the state are starting to realize what just happened and they a aren't happy about it. between the pending mass exodus of labor and the number of truckers who don't want to have to carry their citizenship paperwork or risk having their license seized and being arrested now refusing to come to Florida, he just opened a big can.

    Missouri apparently doesn't want you recording teachers like Florida does. OTOH, this looks like a teacher DeSantis may want to recruit to Florida


    Mary Walton thought her teacher repeatedly saying a racist slur in class last week was wrong, so the 15-year-old sophomore at Glendale High School in Springfield, Mo., pulled out her phone and started filming, the student’s lawyer said.


    She recorded him saying the n-word twice before he appeared to notice what she was doing.

    Days later, she was suspended for making the 55-second video
    , according to her lawyer. Mary and her mother, Kate Welborn, 44, are challenging the punishment and demanding the district apologize. Mary’s lawyer, Natalie Hull, said that the sophomore was essentially acting as a whistleblower by collecting evidence of an authority figure’s wrongdoing and that punishing her will have a “chilling effect” on students inclined to do so in the future.

    On Monday, Principal Josh Groves announced that the teacher, who was initially placed on administrative leave, is no longer employed by the district. He has not been publicly identified. Officials said that while federal law prevented them from talking about student discipline, the student handbook is clear about the consequences of inappropriately using cellphones and other electronic devices.
