During a press conference on Friday morning, DeSantis announced a series of legislative actions to reduce illegal immigration across the state. The six proposals would:
1. Ban state and local agencies from doing business with or providing benefits to any private-sector business or NGO that helps facilitate illegal immigration to Florida.
2. Ban state agencies from renewing state contracts with transportation companies, such as airlines and bus services, that facilitate illegal immigration to Florida.
3. Require private-sector businesses and NGOs, who facilitate illegal immigration to Florida, to provide compensation to the state of Florida to cover all costs that fall on taxpayers.
4. Mandate county and local jails, as well as courts, to collect immigration status data at the time of a suspect’s arrest and conviction. The information would be reported to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
5. Ban Florida officials from providing any discretionary benefits to illegal aliens while state agencies and hospitals will be required to annually report taxpayer-funded expenses for illegal aliens.
6. Add the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity as an enforcer of E-Verify.
In addition to the six proposals, as Breitbart News exclusively reported, DeSantis announced an emergency order that bans the issuance or renewal of all state licenses to provide services to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) who are resettled across Florida. The order is effective immediately.
The measures are significant as they are the first in the nation seeking to effectively outlaw many of the business practices carried out by corporate-funded NGOs who are contracted by the federal government to resettle hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens across the United States every year.

I like the creative, proactive approach.
Too bad all Republicans aren’t like him.
The United States of America must follow DeSantis’ lead, or die a miserable death.
Nice, but how about imprisoning anybody and everybody abetting illegal immigration?
Bttt
This man means business!
That ties it up in court forever. This hits them in the wallet.
More effective.
It is amazing when you realize that, just a short time ago, Florida Republicans were scared to say the words illegal aliens - much less consider doing anything to combat the problem.
Just think: not long ago Charlie Christ was the face of the Republican Party of Florida.
Heavy D
You all have. The best gov
It’s those Catholic, Lutheran, and Jewish groups that are behind this crap.
This is States rights at its finest.
DESANTIS 2024
Have you ever heard of incrementalism? Florida is barely a Red state and what DeSantis is doing is perfect for the situation.
Obi-Ron Kanobi!
BRING THIS TO VIRGINIA!
De Santos is the best governor in the USA and he is not bowing to Resident Brandon!! 🤓
Time to move to Florida... well after my kids head off to college that is.
The GOP could have the immigration vote but there to stupid...there donors want cheap labor.....
Legal immigrants HATE illegals ...Ike deported a couple million illegals in the 1950s
Nothing on agriculture? Unless you stop the agricultural industry from hiring hundreds of thousands of illegals per year, you will never fix the problem.
Whats wrong with Criminal Charges and PRISON for Alien Smuggling for Everyone involved
