FACT FOCUS: Videos of empty store aisles are unrelated to Florida’s immigration bill

--- Quote ---A sweeping immigration bill recently signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is sparking fears of deserted workplaces – and barren grocery shelves.
The new law, set to take effect in July, will require businesses with more than 25 staffers to verify that their employees can legally work in the U.S. through a federal system, among other restrictions. Critics have said the change could lead to a shortage of workers on farms and construction sites.
Amid outcry, a pair of videos circulating widely on social media are claiming to show empty supermarkets in the Sunshine State, purportedly due to truck drivers boycotting deliveries to the state in protest of the immigration overhaul.
But the footage is unrelated. And while some truckers have posted on social media calling on drivers to curb deliveries to Florida, immigration advocates say it’s too soon to tell if there will be any widespread action.
Here are the facts.

DefiantMassRINO:
... requiring employers to verify if workers are authorized to work in the United States.
DeSantis is just having the state enforce what is already part of the Federal Code of Law.
Employer verification of workers' legal employment status was a key provision of the 1986/1987 Immigration Reform Act.
The Federal Government just refuses to enforce its own laws.

Its pretty bad when Yahoo/AP tears up an obvious liberal lie.
