Florida Businesses Face Labor Crisis After Immigration Raid

Florida business owners are expressing growing concern over a labor shortage stemming from a recent large-scale immigration raid in Tallahassee. The raid, which occurred on May 30th, 2025, has left many construction projects understaffed. "The situation is critical," says one business owner who wished to remain anonymous, "We simply don't have enough workers to finish our projects, and hurricane season is just around the corner." The upcoming hurricane season further exacerbates the problem, as a large workforce will be needed for any necessary reconstruction. The impact extends beyond construction, affecting various sectors reliant on immigrant labor. The video highlights the political dimension, noting that many affected business owners had voted for Donald Trump. This labor shortage underscores the complex interplay between immigration policy, economic realities, and the preparedness of Florida for natural disasters.
