Florida’s immigrants uncertain, afraid under new law (Barf Alert)
Florida Politics ^ | September 16th 2023 | Unknown

(The law) is impacting their ability to just go about their day like they used For many in Florida’s vast immigrant community, daily life in recent months has become one governed entirely by fear.

Some try to drive as little as possible and make fewer trips to the supermarket. Others no longer take their children to the park and worry about allowing them to attend school. Others still are hiding out — avoiding travel to other states, not getting regular medical check-ups, or closing their businesses and leaving town. And many are just on high alert — all because of a new immigration law Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in May.

One of the strictest in the nation, the law criminalized transporting immigrants lacking permanent legal status into the state, invalidated any U.S. government identification they might have and blocked local governments from providing them with ID cards. Florida hospitals that receive Medicaid are now mandated to ask patients about immigration status and businesses employing 25 or more people must verify their workers’ legal status.

Other aspects of the law go into effect next year.

“Immigrants’ have nothing to fear...

It is “migrants” who need a death threat hanging over them...

The 45-50 million Migrant Invader Vermin (MIVs) already in the country need to be deported ASAP, with prejudice!

Maybe it’s Bidenomics. There are many citizens doing the same thing.

From the article (which says Ass Press on it):

Before the new law passed, the woman says her mother helped out by driving her grandchildren to school. Now, she is afraid police will ask her to show a driver’s license and detain and deport her for not having one. [emphasis mine]

Well darn straight! Driving in a foreign country with no legal basis for being here and no driver license!

Incredibly, if you immigrate legally, you don’t have to worry about any of this.

Many illegals came here from thousands of miles away - paid anything from a few thousand dollars to thirty thousand each to cartels to get here.

(I'm going out on a limb here - betting these folks MIGHT be able to find their way out of Florida and to Georgia... if they try real hard...)

You’d still have to get a driving license.

Thirty thousand dollars! If they can get that kind of cash from where they came from... What are they running from?

Wow! What a total GOPe/RINO move from the "Bush/Rove" candidate! < /s>

$30,000 - that's what cartels charge Chinese illegals. The Chinese are charged the most.

Cartels charge what the market can bear.

What's really corrupt is about the US Government? It doesn't 'accept' illegals who fly into New York City first class or other and book a room at the Ritz. If you want to break into our country YOU have to pay the cartels and walk across the river.

Why "have to" walk across the Rio Grande?

It was set up to fool the incredibly stupid bimbos of the US Press. Those bimbos would go down to the border to prove they were 'caring women' and lament these 'poor people' would RISK THEIR LIVES TO GET TO A FREE COUNTY'.

Instant shallow silly cover for bloodthirsty cartels selling American citizenship and the folks in DC they were paying off. It was these same MSM bimbos who were used to gush over 'Sanctuary Cities'... (and the 'homeless' - they provided the opening to the corrupt and evil 'homeless industry'...)

“Immigrants” seem to do just fine in FL and elsewhere. It’s the constant stream of illegal alien invaders w/out skills or jobs that sort of mess things up.

Ah, so it’s not immigrants who are here legally who have cause to fear but those here illegally. Shouldn’t criminals have some fear of getting caught?

Try moving to Mexico without the Mexican government’s permission and see how that turns out. Enroll your kid in a Mexican school, start a business, go to a hospital for a check up. If you are lucky, the Mexicans will just deport you.
