Mari Marks, advocacy and policy manager for the Council on American-Islamic Relations Florida chapter, outlined how much the state depends on immigrant labor in a column for the Tallahassee Democrat.

“The Florida economy depends on workers in the agriculture, service and hospitality sectors. The Migration Policy Institute reports there is an estimated 455,000 undocumented immigrants working in Florida, who are currently employed,” Marks wrote.

“What would happen if these workers suddenly disappeared out of our workforce? I’ll tell you. A state that prides themselves on tourism would be in serious jeopardy. These jobs are not being stolen by undocumented workers; they are holes being filled in our society, jobs most Americans would not dream of taking.”
