How DeSantis' immigration laws may be backfiring

About this episode

Last year, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a strict immigration law making it harder to hire undocumented workers.

But like much of the country, Florida is dealing with a tight labor market and some employers are struggling to find workers.

NPR's Jasmine Garsd reports on how the law is affecting the state's economy, from construction sites, to strawberry fields.
