Lived there myself for about twenty years. Familiar with all the things you mentioned, but many of the kindest and wisest people I know call Florida home. There is much to recommend about Florida, it's sites, it's history, it's unregimented social nature. Your use of the term, "underemployed, parasitic underclass" tells us more about you than about the fine folks I've known and trusted in that state. Yes, outsiders do move there in droves, but always in the expectation that Florida will be better than the many places they leave behind, and native Floridians do not despise, ridicule or marginalize the new arrivals. Floridians are very accepting, more so than the fine folks in most other places. So go ahead and send more of your own local born "underemployed, parasitic underclass" to Florida. Florida can handle having a few more of them, and hopefully, some of these immigrants will bless the state with endless wackiness. Floridians enjoy the bizarre FloridaMan entertainment as much as any.
