The Florida Legislature passed a high-profile Republican bill on Thursday banning sanctuary policies that protect undocumented immigrants and requiring law enforcement officials to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

The bill passed the House on a 68-45 vote with Democrats opposed, shortly after it cleared the Senate by a 22-18 mostly party-line vote, as the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has supported the measure and is expected to sign it into law.

Shouldn't that be called "bipartisan?"

Banning something that is illegal.

Next we will be banning not banning something that is illegal.

Well, if the legal voting Hispanic population makes the connection, we should see a major shift of them voting Republican next elections.

If anyone in the GOP had a lick of sense (which is really questionable at times), they would use this for everything its worth.

“Undocumented Immigrants”.

They have all kinds of documents. They might be in Spanish, or OTM, trust me, they are documented. The phrase is designed to sound innocuous, like they just lost their wallet or something.

They aren’t immigrants either, since they did not arrive at an authorized port of entry and all that stuff.

Oddly, enough, there is another phrase that much more accurately describes this type of person. Illegal alien! Try it sometime.

We are living in an insane world when a state has to pass a law requiring the state to enforce the law.

Why isn't this law a federal law?

Why does any gummint paid person get to decide which law{s} they will/not enforce?

Why can't I just ignore the laws I don't like?

For example, why is my select destroying{shooting, hanging, macing} of politicians illegal?

Within ten minutes after the Governor signs it some Obola appointee (in San Francisco?) will rule it unconstitutional.

Just a few weeks ago a Massachusetts judge and one of her court officers were charged by the US Attorney in Boston on several counts regarding their having refused to allow an ICE agent into the court room while a wetback was there and then having allowed that wetback to escape the agent by arranging for him to sneak out a back door.

As you can imagine there's outrage here in the Gay State starting with our "Republican" Governor,down to Princess Liawatha and various payroll patriot hacks.

I’m glad they passed this. Now, new Tampa mayor Jane Castor (the ex police chief) can’t make Tampa into a sanctuary City.

As a native of Florida, allow me to translate this for y’all.

This means Miami.
Pre-emotion on gun laws? Miami.
State oversight of crooked county police chiefs? Miami.
State oversight of crooked county elections supervisors? Miami.

If only global warming would hurry up and drown Dade, Palm Beach and Broward counties the rest of us wouldn’t have to constantly ride herd on that nest of Leftist Yankee interlopers down there.

Someone needs to get Democrats on the record saying they support illegals. A few quotes will go a long way in the coming years running up to elections. The country's turning toward us on this issue...
