Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers' jobs with children [View all]

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?!?
