Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) signed two bills into law oFriday, that strengthen penalties for illegal immigrants, and crack down on illegal immigration in Florida.

The new laws extend the possible prison sentences and punishments for illegal immigrants who are caught driving without a license and immigrants convicted of felonies after having been previously deported from the country for illegal entry.

People convicted of driving without a license at least twice can now face up to a year in jail instead of a maximum sentence of 60 days. The law also applies to U.S. citizens and immigrants in the country legally, but illegal immigrants are not allowed to obtain a driver’s license in Florida.
