Florida Lawmakers May Loosen Child Labor Laws To Fill Jobs Left By Undocumented Immigrants

Florida lawmakers are looking to children to fill low-wage jobs left open by the undocumented immigration crackdown, CNN reports .

According to the network, Senate Bill 918 would allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts.

Currently, teens are prevented from working earlier than 6:30 a.m. or later than 11 p.m.

CNN reports that Gov. Ron DeSantis is in favor of the bill.

"Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you've also been able to hire other people," DeSantis said at an immigration panel, according to the network. "And what's wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now? I mean, that's how it used to be when I was growing up."
