Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to soon sign into law what will be the toughest anti-Illegal Immigration restrictions in the nation. DeSantis is making it clear that he is against the free flow of illegals into the United States – and into his state of Florida. This could be a powerful issue for DeSantis in the GOP Nomination fight and in a 2024 General Election against the open-Border Democrats.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is backing a bill that would implement some of the toughest restrictions in the country meant to counteract the flow of illegal immigration into the Sunshine State.
Senate Bill 1718 would make it a felony to shelter, hire or transport illegal immigrants into or within Florida. It would also require hospitals to ask patients their immigration status and report it to the state and direct law enforcement officers to provide assistance to federal authorities enforcing US immigration law.
The far-reaching legislation would also invalidate out-of-state driver’s licenses issued to illegal immigrants and prevent them from being admitted to the state bar.
The bill is expected to pass the Florida Legislature – where Republican supermajorities control both chambers – within the next few weeks and be signed into law by DeSantis before his anticipated 2024 White House campaign kicks off. . . .
