Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to say ‘NO MAS! NO MAS!’ to illegal immigration, announcing a list of outlawed, or invalid Out-of-State Driver Licenses that several states have issued to illegal aliens.
According to a recent press release sent out by the Executive Office of the Governor, as of July 1, 2023, driver’s licenses issued from Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and Vermont, were banned because they did not live up to his new "Gold Standard" immigration reform agenda.
The list of states, which is published on the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) website, are all considered “Blue States,” with three‑Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut— being labeled as sanctuary states.
Here is what DeSantis’s law call for:
—Prohibiting counties and municipalities, respectively, from providing funds to any person, entity, or organization to issue identification documents to an individual who does not provide proof of lawful presence in the United States.
—Specifying that certain driver licenses and permits issued by other states exclusively to unauthorized immigrants are not valid in this state.
—Requiring certain hospitals to collect patient immigration status data information on admission or registration forms.
—Increasing the maximum fine that may be imposed for a first violation of specified provisions relating to employing, hiring, recruiting, or referring aliens for private or public employment, etc.

We know the Pennsylvania Prickster is going to be issuing illegal licenses. Need to keep the Philly Miggies out.
I’m not sure if DeSantis’ actions run afoul with the interstate compact on DUIs etc.
Some of that list was signed into law by Bill Clinton 1995 ...
DeSantis is an imposter.
“Someone who is in our country illegally and has violated our laws should not possess a government-issued ID which allows them access to state-funded services and other privileges afforded to lawful residents,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “The Biden administration may continue to abdicate its responsibilities to secure our border, but Florida will stand for the rule of law. Even if the federal government refuses, Florida will act decisively to protect our citizens, our state, and our country.”
Anyone who disagrees with this, or bitches about it, is a traitor.
Since NYS isn’t on it, that list is a joke.
Good work by DeSantis and the Legislature!
If it’s good work, why isn’t NYS on that list?
If he’s saying that people with licenses from those states won’t be allowed to drive in Florida, then he’s also probably running afoul of the “full faith & credit” clause too.
Trump. Afraid of competition so he (figuratively) poisons the well.
You don’t understand the full faith and credit clause.
Look it up.
I don’t need to “look it up”, I know what it is.
The Fl law will stand.
Do you know how many types of drivers licenses NYS offers?
Why isn’t NYS on that list?
Hi.
Please add IL, governor.

I'm supporting President Trump 100% but I have no problem with this policy/law.
One suspects that the states will sue and that the initial list will grow.
