Dancing to the right like McCain, when sb1070 passed, McCollum said it was “Far out” and “We aren’t going to do that here”
The interesting thing is that McCollum isn’t even in the legislature. What role does the Attorney General have in introducing legislation?
Everyone in Central Florida knows illegal immigrants on a personal level. I mean, from the lowliest minimum wage worker to the very successful folk, they all have daily interactions with illegal immigrants in public, social and private interactions. Having lived in NJ where even though the staet is the most diverse in the nation, it is also the most geogrpahically stratified and balkanized in terms of residential neighborhoods in North America, I was amazed at just how many illegal aliens are living pretty normal lives all ovr the Orlando area. The banks from Spain, Brasil and Puerto Rico will provide banking services to anyone Spanish or Portuguese speaking person who can provide a minimum balance. Last summer about this time in Orlando I kept track of the number of illegals i came into contact with during a particularly busy week. At least 13, from 8 countries... some fo them had PhDs, other less than a high school education. It's really the wild west frontier zone down there once you get in to the mix. Ill be surprised if there are enough voters who will support a illegal immigrant crackdown in Florida for the simple fact the state is so integrated through common struggle to make a living wage. Are there enough retiree voters to actually overtake the immigrant friendly population?
