Watch: Republicans literally beg migrants not to leave Florida over DeSantis anti-immigration law

Florida Republicans on Monday met with migrants to urge them not to leave the state in the wake of a new anti-immigration law that is sparking boycotts of the state.

An NPR analysis determined that the law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) "limits social services for undocumented immigrants, allocates millions more tax dollars to expand DeSantis' migrant relocation program, invalidates driver's licenses issued to undocumented people by other states, and requires hospitals that get Medicaid dollars to ask for a patient's immigration status."

On Monday, state Reps. Alina Garcia (R) and Rick Roth (R) spoke at an event advising migrants of the impacts of SB1718.

Video of the event was obtained by Thomas Kennedy of the Democratic National Committee.

"This bill is 100% supposed to scare you," Roth told the group. "I'm a farmer, and the farmers are mad as hell. We are losing employees. They are already starting to move to Georgia and other states."

"It's urgent that you talk to all of your people and convince them that you have resources, state representatives, and other people that can explain the bill to you," he continued.

Garcia said she agreed with Roth.

"This is a bill basically to scare people from coming to the state of Florida," she insisted. "I think that it's done its purpose. This bill really doesn't have any teeth."
