When more than 77 million Americans delivered resounding victories for Republicans in the 2024 election, they gave the GOP a mandate to implement an America First agenda that serves the interests of the people. So, why are GOP lawmakers in so-called “red states” working overtime to deny their voters’ wishes?
In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis is having to fight members of his own party to push through legislation that would assist the Trump administration’s deportation operations. The governor’s proposal includes policies enhancing penalties against illegal aliens, greater state cooperation with federal immigration authorities, election integrity safeguards, and more.
Rather than heed DeSantis’ call for a special session to deliver on the agenda Floridians voted for, the legislature’s GOP leadership took it upon themselves to gavel into a separate special session on Monday to advance a seemingly watered-down version of the legislation the governor requested. DeSantis noted in a Monday tweet he is “glad the Legislature’s bill includes many of [his] proposals.” But the governor argued that the bill put forward by Speaker Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton is “substantially weaker than the proposals [he] outlined and that are necessary to ensure that Florida leads on fulfilling the Trump Administration’s mandate to enforce immigration law and deport illegal aliens.”

Many saw as in Georgia a few days ago, the GOPe Speaker had a freedom-first state representative arrested for daring to criticize the former speaker who was corrupt as all get out.
There are many “Chamber of Commerce” Republicans whose priority is CHEAP LABOR (aka Illegal Aliens). They make common cause with MAGA enemies.
THEY ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS!
I doubt there are any politicians of either persuasion that give a rip about “cheap labor”. I suspect the return they are looking for is more immediate (and under the table).
Trojan horses. Cornyn is one in Texas.
Too Many Greedy Developers in the GOP Seats .
They want cheap uneducated wet backs at any cost .
That Sleaze Ball Manatee Rep is Exhibit A .
A crook .
Developers own the GOP .
The Village Developer Morris family crooks own the Bushes and most of the Fl State House and Senate .
Gee, so glad you told us this and boy you must be really sharp and very well connected to pick this up in less than a week. So I guess the America First Movement is over and the Democrats are about to take Trump’s formal surrender.
Do I have it right?
Get lost. I don’t have to read this pile of crap to say it won’t work.
They will pay a price at the polls.
We all know that compared with the Leftist Democrat-Media-Entertainment Complex, the power of “red state Republicans” is like a fart in a hurricane.
We withstood and overcome the hurricane, we can damn sure do the same to these feeble attempts.
Can we go ahead and audit their financial records, particularly their recent large deposits?

Of course it’s the campaign contributors who are interested in cheap illegal laborers. The “bought” politicians do not cone cheap.
They are not interested in “cheap labor” the are interested in overwhelming and destroying the American way of life.
Cornyn in Texas is less of a problem than the RINOs in the state legislature
I was always suspicious about DeSantis considering who his ‘supporters’ were during the Primary Season. Maybe they wanted someone that would take orders from them or was otherwise beholden to them, unlike Trump. (and don’t even get me started on DeSantis’s Ukrainian spokeswoman)
“Easy answer - corruption. People will sell out for their 30 pieces of silver at the drop of a hat. Not sure how you can maintain a righteous government or society when so many worship money so hard.”
Right there... Pure and simple. It really is the root of all the evil we are dealing with.
