DeSantis' immigration crackdown is scaring away some undocumented migrants who normally help the state with hurricane cleanup

• Florida Gov. DeSantis' immigration crackdown is convincing some undocumented workers to stay out of Florida.
• But many of those workers typically get hired by residents to rebuild and clean up after storms.
• Workers told the New York Times that the risk of deportation is just too high to help clean up after Hurricane Idalia.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' crackdown on illegal immigration is scaring away undocumented migrants who normally flock to the state to help with hurricane cleanup. 

DeSantis's law, signed in May, made it much more difficult for migrant workers to live and work in Florida.
