Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers' jobs with children

We all knew that their xenophobia would lead to mass deportations and that would lead to a huge labor shortage.

What is Desantis and the Rethugs solution? Gut child labor laws and put those kids to work! I figure next up, they will get rid of Social Security and put grandparents to work.

Can these guys get anymore despicable?!?

Sure. Just wait until they start locking up those who will not die working. Wait until they make things go back to slave labor/feudalism.

That is what they want. And, we are letting them. Every day we sit and let them keep on destroying everything in the name of greed is another day closer to hell on earth. Until the streets are clogged with people stopping this lunacy, we are stuck in it.

The fact that the streets are not clogged in every city tells me we are not sufficiently motivated yet. Will we ever be? Or, are we more complacent with this form of government than we want to admit?
