The Numbers Are In: DeSantis' Crackdown on Illegal Immigration in Florida Is Already Paying Off

Governor Ron DeSantis’ crackdown on illegal immigrants seems to be paying off in more ways than one, according to a recent report. The governor’s multi-pronged effort to reduce illegal immigration in Florida has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of taxpayer dollars going to fund healthcare for those residing in the country illegally.

The governor signed a law last year requiring hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients about their legal immigration status when they seek treatment. The legislation does not compel patients to answer the question, but immigrant rights groups argued that it would discourage them from receiving medical attention funded by the government. Still, supporters of the law argue that the numbers show it is a success:

"Florida’s Emergency Medical Assistance program for undocumented immigrants has seen a 54 percent drop in expenditures billed to Medicaid this year — with less than two months remaining in the fiscal year — since the state immigration law took effect...

More winning! Careful, well-written, legislation works. Trump needs to repeat this nationally!

[Ann Archy]

GO RON and COMPANY!!!

[Robert DeLong]

Winning at the state level is easy, especially if you have a legislature that works with you.

It's a whole different ballgame at the national level.

[Reno89519]

Nah, just takes more effort, securing lasting legislation instead of quick-fix Executive Orders that get immediately reversed by the next president. We are in our problem today because of EOs that got immediately reversed, I hope Trump 2.0 takes the time to get legislation to back up the EOs he writes on day one. We cannot afford another 2028 like 2020.

[Robert DeLong]

Well, as a RINO, he won't be securing that helps you & me. DeSantis only cares about him & his family. He will be a yes man to the Deep State, DeSantis is a viper, he's not a person whose word can be trusted any further than you could throw him.

Besides that DeSantis hasn't written a single bill. Those is the legislature might be doing it, or lobbyists may being doing it. At the Federal level, lobbyists are writing a lot of the legislation.

[Reno89519]

Imagine that same 54% reduction in all 50 states, nationwide.

States are the incubators of good ideas, this is one that needs repeat.

[Reno89519]

You are way off base. Get over your butthurt. DeSantis is MAGA, not a RINO. The key difference between Trump and DeSantis is EOs versus legislative action. In DeSantis case, he’s got a supporting legislature. We need to build the same in Congress for Trump.

[jeffc]

DeSantis haters gotta hate. It’s their way of life...

[Reno89519]

DeSantis haters gotta hate. It’s their way of life...

Yeah, the butthurt takes a long time to heal. Trump and DeSantis have long made up, these folks need to get on board.

[Robert DeLong]

I’m not butthurt, I do not like the man nor do I trust the man. He’s a snake who pretends to be MAGA, but he is not MAGA. You are a Class A sucker to believe anything other that what he himself has shown who he really is.

[laplata]

Winning at the state level is easy, especially if you have a legislature that works with you.
It’s a whole different ballgame at the national level.

><><
“It’s a whole different ballgame at the national level”.

That’s why the states need to take the lead.

[laplata]

You’re hopeless...a victory with the name DeSantis attached isn’t good enough for you.

[Vigilanteman]

If you show up at an ER with a sniffle, you are probably an illegal. It is a telltale sign like expecting to be treated without an insurance card.

[Robert DeLong]

Can't argue wit you there, problem is the RINOs are just Democrat assistants, or they are really Democrats in disguise.

Either way they are worthless, and DeSantis is a RINO, who will not think twice about following his masters directives like the obedient lap dog that he is.

Florida Judge Begins Dismantling Governor DeSantis’ Secrecy Operation

June 23, 2024 | Sundance | 398 Comments

People will see…. it might take a little more time than I would prefer, but the truth will come out and people will see.

A judge in Florida is starting to take apart the secrecy operation that Ron DeSantis and his DC Bush clan constructed during their block Trump operation.

DeSantis moved from Congress to the Florida Governor position in 2018; the intent was always to run for President in 2024 and take apart the Trump constructs returning the Republican apparatus to traditional corporate controls.

Part of their lengthy approach was to import some of the Washington DC silo/secrecy functions and overlay them into Florida state politics.

Arguably, Florida had the strongest public record transparency laws in the country, known collectively as “the sunshine laws.” When importing the schemes of DC, in order to support the hidden DeSantis agenda, those sunshine laws were considered a problem. The DeSantis team began changing the rules, subverting laws and demanding support from legislation.

They changed the law so the ‘Top Gov’ could run for President without giving up his office in April 2023. The following month, May 2023, they pressured legislature to change the transparency law on travel. This change kept the governor and top aide’s travel arrangements (who pays, how, etc.) hidden from the public. They made this specific law change retroactive to hide all the Sea Island donors who gave DeSantis private jets to use, while the 2024 campaign was denying they were campaigning in 2022.

Now, a Florida judge is responding to a lawsuit where DeSantis’ lawyers are admitting the governor’s chief-of-staff, James Uthmeier, was arranging/conducting the governor’s official office business on his private cell phone. The governor’s office is admitting personal cell phones were used and yet still rebuking the judge’s prior order to make the call logs public.

Leon County Circuit Judge Lee Marsh is not happy about this.

FLORIDA – […] “We ought to just put out word, ‘Let’s do all of our business on private, bring-your-own cellphones,” Marsh said. “Then we don’t need public records laws because there’ll be no public records, right?”

[…] On Tuesday, Marsh rubbed his eyes and held his head in his hands in apparent exasperation while debating Florida’s public records law with DeSantis’ lawyers.

Marsh noted the state’s definition of “public records” said nothing about data points or whether records needed to be on state property. It defines a public record as “any material, regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any agency.”

[…] Marsh said the way the administration communicated about the migrant flights “appears to be an end around Florida’s public record laws.”

“This is supposed to be the open free state of Florida, where it’s transparency, and this was done with, you know, Clarice Starling and private emails,” Marsh said. “This smacks of trying to not be open with the records.”

Marsh then questioned why Uthmeier, who described himself in an affidavit in the case as “the highest-ranking nonelected official in the State of Florida,” was using his personal phone for state calls.

[…] “Why is this individual using a private cellphone and thus avoiding public records?” Marsh asked.

“Your honor, I don’t have an answer for that,” Lunny said. (read more)

Now, you might say, ‘With everything going on in the world, why do these granular hindsight details matter right now?  Why focus inside our camp?’

The answer is pretty simple….

Think about all the people, even the people reading this right now, that did not know/believe that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was a con job. DeSantis was part of a lengthy and organized Washington DC operation to eliminate the threat that Donald Trump represented.

Congressman Ron DeSantis, a completely controlled political agent from the corporate camp of the Bushes and the Sea Island team, was recruited to assist as Washington DC’s right-wing insurance policy…. with the intent to maintain or recover the UniParty operation.

This GOP effort was a construct traceable all the way back to 2017, leading to the DeSantis’ shift to Florida governor in 2018.  Yet, how many people had any idea?

How many people, throughout 2019 all the way to 2022/’23/’24, realized Ron DeSantis was a set-up by the main DC people who control politics, which included Intelligence Community support?

How many people deny the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement (FDLE) escorted the FBI agents from the airport to Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, and therefore had full operational knowledge of the FBI arrival and intents.

How many people cannot fathom the reality of how the FDLE escort indicates the office of Governor Ron DeSantis was fully aware of the pending FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago?

How many people have the capacity to look back honestly, with hindsight, and see the planning for the 5 days in the bunker, complete silence and invisibility from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, that immediately followed the FBI raid?

How many people will admit what that reality demonstrates?

How many people deny their intellectually honest understanding and accept that governor’s schedules are planned months in advance… and those 5 days in the bunker were planned and organized with a purpose, that aligned with the schedule of the FBI coming out of Washington DC.

In essence, there was some form of coordination and communication with someone…. DC to Tallahassee, someone!

Immediately following his 5 days in the bunker, DeSantis launched an August/Sept, Oct national tour (example above) … that turned into a “book tour”…  that included visits to big billionaire donors in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey and New York, in the months leading up to a FLORIDA election.

Why “campaign” nationally for a Florida election, and then deny you are campaigning nationally for a Florida election?

Can you see it?

Can you see why it is of value to accept what the Deep State does and yet so many people deny?

The example of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis should be a reference point for everyone to accept just how manipulated, controlled, organized and weaponized the systems of our government are that deliver their illusion of choice.  And how easy it is to fall for it.

Once the people of Florida realize the scale of the deception, manipulation and lies that have surrounded them…. lies that are now in part surfacing in the court case against the hiding schemes that DeSantis deployed…. then perhaps the Great Awakening will have a bigger context!

….There are trillions at stake!

Oh, and hey, the people who took the COVID-19 shots….  Well, they ain’t vaccinated either.

[laplata]

Shaking head.

[chickenlips]

You are a Class A sucker to believe anything other that what he himself has shown who he really is.
**********************************************************
Do you mean like DeSantis showing himself to be the best governor in America by far? One who is tenacious fighting for his constituents; who strives to protect children from large corporations that want to exploit and corrupt them? One that doesn't want to go easy on Disney because they donated a large sum to the Republican party? One who fight indoctrination of students and has brought civics and anticommunism back to the classroom? One that put the reins on the teachers union; offered school choice so children can get a good education in what has become the top rated school system in the nation? The one that has shown himself to be a faithful husband and father to his own family; one who does not philander? One that has served his nation in the US Navy? One that has practiced fiscal responsibility while cutting taxes several times for the people that he is serving? A guy that has handled natural disasters with competence, efficiency and urgency? One who has vastly improved election integrity and aggressively pursues prosecution of voter fraud? One who resisted the extended lockdowns and opened Florida for business early, and got life saving monoclonal antibodies to those in most need, in a state with a very high percentage of elderly? Yeah DeSantis has shown himself to be a bad ass relentlessly fighting for the citizens of Florida.

Or maybe you just prefer Biden, Bud Light and Disney+ to ease your butt hurt?

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah, he a snake. He's not MAGA but has no qualms about pretending to be.

He only endorsed Trump because his handlers told him he do so. If it were left up to him, he would still be openly hostile to Trump. DeSantis has no brains, which is why he would be the perfect Republican president. Exchange one weak minded for another. The change looks enormous, but in reality nothing changes.

Reno seems to have a man crush on DeSantis, which only proves that some people are unable to see the forest for the trees.

He buys into these little puff pieces that give DeSantis credit. But Texas Governor Abbot actually started shipping illegals else where & DeSantis followed suit. So, DeSantis is not this great thinker that Reno believes him to be. DeSantis merely apes the actions of others.

Reno thinks DeSantis created the legislation, and that he creates awesome legislation on top of that. DeSantis just signs bills.

Trump should not get close to DeSantis, and whatever he does, he can't have him as his running mate. Because they would not hesitate to assassinate Trump to move DeSantis into the Presidency.

[rrrod]

Excellent governor!

[qaz123]

Pres Trump, because he go no bell from Congress, was able to find creative ways to do the same.

People had to be able to support themselves and pay their own way. Something written into law but ignored by most.
