how are businesses and families affected by Florida's new immigration law?

 Florida's new immigration law has had significant impacts on both businesses and families in the state. Here are some ways in which they have been affected:

Businesses:

• E-Verify Requirement: The new law makes it mandatory for any employer with 25 or more employees to use E-Verify, an online system that allows employers to verify the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States

  . This requirement has made it harder and riskier for some employers to hire immigrants who entered the country illegally

  .
• Penalties for Employing Illegal Aliens: The law imposes enforceable penalties for employers who hire illegal aliens

  . This has caused anxiety for businesses that rely on immigrant labor, particularly in industries such as agriculture, construction, and hospitality, where immigrants make up the vast majority of workers

  .
• Transportation Restrictions: The law makes it illegal to transport an undocumented person across state lines into Florida
  6
  . This provision has caused some businesses to stop delivering goods to Florida, and it has also made it more difficult for businesses to hire workers from other states

  .
• Impact on Hospitals: Under the new law, hospitals are required to ask patients their immigration status and document the costs of treating undocumented immigrants

  . This has caused concern among healthcare providers, who worry that it will discourage undocumented immigrants from seeking medical care when they need it

  .

Families:

• Family Separation: The law makes it illegal to transport an undocumented person across state lines into Florida
  2
  . This provision has forced some families to leave the state, leaving behind American-born children who are U.S. citizens
  2
  .
• Anxiety and Fear: The new law has created more anxiety for undocumented families, many of whom have lived in Florida for years
  3
  . They worry about being separated from their families, losing their jobs, and being deported

  .

Overall, Florida's new immigration law has had a significant impact on both businesses and families in the state. While supporters argue that it will help combat illegal immigration and protect the state's taxpayers, critics argue that it could have negative impacts on immigrant families and the state's economy
