Because the existing workforce keeps getting deported.
Reason #8,994 why I left FL. My tax dollars no longer contribute to this shit.

Deport workers and fill their positions with literal children. That’s an insane proposition that will only hurt the vulnerable and favour those willing to use them…

Why are they doing this? What do these people need so badly that they think this is a good idea?
What do these people need so badly that they think this is a good idea?
"Wage slaves" is the only answer I've found that fits the available information. Some of them are being misled by others, but some must understand the impacts of what they're asking for.
They're kicking out the immigrant wave slaves because of racism, so now they need child wage slaves to fill the gap. They just need someone desperate and powerless to exploit.
Serious question: Is this satire?
No, Ms Huckabee sanders already did this in '23 in ar- Kansas
onion right? right? turning the debate on "free meals to school kids" to "should we feed kids working in the mines". Nice progression M'URICAH

What a shithole America is becoming
America requires immigrants to function and has for almost 250 years.
Well, now we don't. Just need a lot of young pregnant women giving us our next generation of labor au naturale
Well they need flock cameras and palantir drones over every neighborhood in the country to enforce their visions.
Freedom of assembly. In private. Is the only shovel to dig out.

They yearn for the mines!
The US is regressing more and more. I refuse to call it a first world country at this point.
"First world" etc are political terms relating to Cold War allegiance.
What you mean is "developed country" and there are good arguments that the US has never fully fitted that label. You'd have people coming from "developing countries" to the US and realize that infrastructure and social security there is way worse than in their home country.
Yes but the "American Dream" was never that. It was always to get richer than everyone else and so I can just say fuck 'em to the plight of the rest. Or in alternative terms, it only concerns me when it actually directly affects me.
I believe the results of the last election and the ensuing "executive orders" actions are direct proof of that. Also it was proof of the large stupidity of the masses, something the Covid years exposed, but was directly proved in the election results. It was just a matter of time before a high level professional conman was so brazen about it.

Florida sliding further backwards doesn't surprise me at all.
But on a good note it looks like Florida's Free Kill Law might finally be ending after 35 years of horrors to all the Floridians and tourists caught in it's trap, no thanks to the Republicans though.
Trabulsy noted that lawmakers passed the existing restriction in 1990 to reduce insurance rates.
“Lo and behold, insurance rates did not come down,” she said. “It’s about time that we change this law and put the courts back in the hands of Floridians.”
That's something, anyway. I hope we stop falling for "we will lower your rates", because we know they won't.

So thier reason for actually doing it per the article was to attract more MD to the state to cover the shortages, I don't think that was the main problem for the shortages
Sadly, you need more opportunity to get away from your parents to stand a chance
