The Florida GOP-led Legislature is preparing to pass a law cracking down on so-called sanctuary cities

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.

I am not a Trump supporter. The truth is there should be no Sanctuary cities in the US. Anywhere. Sanctuary cities only exist because of a failure at the federal level to police illegals. News flash, if you vote for Sanctuary Cities you ARE voting for Illegal aliens.
