Florida Republicans once worried that hardline immigration policies would alienate Hispanic voters and cost the party the nation’s biggest swing state. Then came Donald Trump, who carried Florida in 2016. Two years later, Gov. Ron DeSantis won election running as a Trump clone.
Ingoglia said that Democrats opposed to the bills “are arguing against the will of the voters and the people here in the state of Florida.” And Scott himself flipped on immigration. In 2014 he signed into law two bills that aimed to assist immigrant families, including one that allowed children of undocumented immigrants to pay the same tuition rate as state residents. A number of Republicans, especially those in the Florida House, voted against the proposals.
Sen. Anitere Flores, a Miami Republican, said she plans to vote against the bill because of its “perceived message” to immigrants and Hispanics. But Flores might be the lone GOP opponent. Rep. Cord Byrd, a Neptune Beach Republican, said critics have dramatically overstated the potential impact of the bill.Democrats have consistently said there is no real need for the bills even as they've ratcheted up their opposition.
Hell yes !!
And Police Chief now Tampa Mayor says it’s a stupid thing to do...😏Republicans are moronic.

Things are about to get interesting. If Christian America is forced into RvW, because it is federal law, then we can sue sanctuary cities. Federal laws are either law for everyone, or they are not. There is no cherry picking which ones to follow.
I'm curious about who the immigrants are? Florida was mostly native American and Hispanic until the building boom begun in the 1940s. Is the state going to kick out all the snowbirds?
Riding Donald Trump's racism all the way is what Florida GOP is doing if an illegal immigrant commits a crime he should be deported is that simple but if an illegal immigrant is working somewhere else. Make them pay taxes contribute to the economy f**** idiots 2020 Blue Wave all
