Immigration Reform

AIF recognizes that immigration reform is an important issue for our state, but contends it should be dealt with at the federal level. AIF OPPOSES efforts to mandate the use of the E-Verify system by all employers.

Mandating E-Verify would have a negative effect for employers, especially those small business owners who do not have full-fledged human resources departments. Arizona-style immigration laws have the real potential to tarnish Florida’s reputation as a global trade hub. Fears of racial profiling could make it harder for businesses to recruit employees and could harm Florida’s tourism industry.
