Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio are facing pressure from a group of Central Florida leaders to pass bipartisan legislation that would give more security to some of the roughly 490,000 immigrants living in the region.

What's happening: Business, political and religious leaders are warning of a post-pandemic worker shortage in industries such as agriculture and hospitality, and they're urging across-the-aisle cooperation.

• They're specifically calling for Congress to pass pending legislation such as the Durbin-Graham Dream Act of 2021, the Bennett-Crapo Farm Workforce Modernization Act, and the SECURE Act.

The backdrop: The call comes as a U.S. District Court judge in Texas weighs whether to end DACA, which the leaders say would threaten economic recovery.

Between the lines: One in three hospitality workers in Florida are immigrants, and there are some 60,000 Temporary Protected Status recipients living in the state, many of them Venezuelans.

• Roughly 50% of workers in the Central Florida agriculture industry are immigrants.

What they're saying: "We worry about our ability to continue to grow without an adequate workforce," said Arianna Cabrera de Ona, senior vice president of HR and general counsel of Costa Farms, during a virtual event held by the IMPAC Fund and the American Business Immigration Coalition on Tuesday.

• "When you have over 1,000 CEOs clamoring for reform, it's not about politics," Al Cardenas, former chairman of the Florida Republican Party, said at the same event.

We couldn't reach Scott, but Rubio blamed the Biden administration for a crisis on the Southern border.

• "I have made it clear that a blanket amnesty for those who are in the country unlawfully is a non-starter," Rubio said in a statement to Axios. "It is impossible to do anything substantive on immigration until President Biden enforces existing immigration law."

The Tampa Greyhound Track closed its coronavirus vaccine site today, while Hillsborough County announced it's closing four of its five vaccination sites next month.

What they're saying: At this point, people have either already been vaccinated or don't want to be, Hillsborough County Health Department spokesman Kevin Watler told Bay News 9.

• "The longer it takes you to get vaccinated, the longer it's going to take for you to have protection," Watler said.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is threatening Big Tech companies who operate social media platforms with fines if they permanently ban candidates running for office in Florida.

What's happening: The Republican governor signed a bill Monday that aims to limit how social media companies moderate their content online.

• Starting in July, these companies will have to post terms of service with consistent standards for censoring, de-platforming and blocking users.
• Platforms will be limited to banning candidates for no more than two weeks.
• Fines for violating are $250,000 a day for statewide candidates and $25,000 a day for others.

The other side: The governor’s critics called the legislation an unconstitutional move on behalf of former President Trump, Creative Loafing reports.

• DeSantis declared his war on "the Big Tech cartel" days after Trump left office, moved back to Florida and was banned from Twitter and Facebook when his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, Florida Politics noted.
• Many in the tech industry have warned that the law will be challenged in court for violating the First Amendment.

What he's saying: When asked if the bill was for Trump, DeSantis told a Miami Herald reporter it's for "everyday Floridians."

• But he added, "When you de-platform [Trump] but you let Ayatollah Khamenei talk about killing Jews, that is wrong."

What's next: It remains unclear if Florida will even be able to enforce the legislation since federal law prevents internet companies from being sued for removing posts, AP reports.

We here at Axios Tampa Bay do hereby proclaim Lightning coach Jon Cooper the Best Dressed Man in Sports.

• Have you noticed?

The state of play: Cooper mostly occupies the out-of-the-spotlight space betwixt the back glass and a line of Bolts' helmets.

• But in a crash-and-dash sport of bloodshed and broken teeth, Cooper, who has a law degree from Western Michigan University, keeps it freakin' dapper.
• We're talking tailored suits, and accoutrement like pocket squares and neckwear that seem to express the gentleman's mood and personality.

We asked the Lighting front office about it and, get this: coach shops local.

• His tailor is David Kahn at Bespoke & Co on Bay to Bay Boulevard.
