It. in fact. parallels what takes place each and every year as approximately that many illegal workers cross our borders. Much has been said about whether there is a need for a workforce. 1 believe there is. In my home State. the people who are more adamant in pursuing a bill on immigration reform are those very employers who cannot seem to find enough workers to fill their needs. They are in the hospitality industry. the tourism industry. our attractions. theme parks. They are also in agriculture. as well as home construction. which is a huge part of Floridas economy. All of those people seem hard pressed to have enough people available to do the work that is waiting. So this is a number that was derived according to the Pew Hispanic Center in a March 2005 survey of the migrant population which suggested a group of about 500.000 a year. We think it is a good idea from that standpoint. It is a legitimate number.
