Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a comprehensive immigration bill designed to bolster federal deportation efforts and implement stringent measures against illegal immigration within the state.

The law allocates approximately $298 million to hire over 50 additional law enforcement officers dedicated to immigration enforcement.

It also provides grants for equipping and training local agencies, offers bonuses for officers assisting in federal operations, and funds the leasing of detention facilities.

Ron DeSantis: «Well, I just want to thank the leaders once again for their hard work on this and also point out that we have had a lot of success in Florida. There are always people, and I meet many legislators from other states who come here asking what’s going on with all of this. And we have had the opportunity to work with incredible people.

But Ben and the Speaker of the House have been with me since day one. They weren’t necessarily in leadership positions at the time, but they have played a key role in all these accomplishments. So I really appreciate that. I appreciate Landon for this project. And guys, get ready, because this is just the beginning. We are going to get to work. You’re going to see a lot of things happening very quickly.»

I seem to remember that he was not happy with this bill as created by the FL Legislature.

The wealthy construction and developer magnates in Florida have a friend in the Oval Office so the word is out to "go easy" on the cheap labor supply here for their projects.

Meaning leave the illegals who are working under the table alone and don't prosecute them for driving without insurance and look the other way when they break the law.

Because they are a cash cow for the construction and ag companies and the hundreds of roofing contractors who use illegals for every job they do in the Sunshine State.

There are plenty of gullible Florida residents who will buy Uninsured Motorist Protection Policies so the cost of claims filed because of illegal uninsured and unlicensed drivers causing accidents will be controlled on their backs.

As is the cost of medical treatment for these invaders if they are injured or sick or have to have birthing services in a Florida ER for that beautiful anchor baby they just made.

Florida companies hiring these cockroaches won't have to pay one nickel to provide all these bennies to them.

E-verify. Hah. What a joke.

Albritton is the head of the senate from Hardee county .
His family business is Pure Big AG very cheap labor oriented and he has been owned / funded by the
MOB aka the Cuban Fanjul family that runs Big Sugar in Belle Glade and FL also cheap Haitian labor .
They will destroy the state demanding cheap labor.

Be glad you haven't

The FL legislature is a fever swamp of the slimiest RINOS and open border hacks big sugar and big weed could buy.

So what’s illegal about kicking illegal invaders out of the country?

It’s the toughest, best immigration law in the country. It’s not quite what DeSantis was pushing for, but the open borders RINOs in the Legislature came 95% of the way to him.

Yeah. That’s why DeSantis lit a fire under the RINOS to change it.
