Florida GOP passes sweeping anti-immigration bill that gives DeSantis $12 million for migrant transports

[onthedarkside]

 

Florida Republicans on Tuesday handed Gov. Ron DeSantis another legislative victory after lawmakers signed off on a sweeping anti-immigration measure that will guarantee millions of dollars more for a controversial program the governor used to fly migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard.

 

DeSantis, who is expected to announce a run for president in the coming weeks, has repeatedly faulted President Joe Biden’s immigration policies and regularly criticizes the administration’s handling of the surge of migrants crossing into the U.S. at the southern border.

 

The governor and his Republican allies contended that the newly approved bill will send a “message” to the Biden administration, while Democrats countered the legislation was overtly cruel and intimidating to migrants.

People trafficking the new GOP election wining strategy.

I can’t see it winning any swing voters but it’ll keep what’s left of the red hats on side.

DeSantis still fighting the culture war, at his state's expense.  Give it up Ron, you can't out-Trump Trump.  He'll be the GOP nominee for President.

$12 million is a lot, for what could be achieved with several dozen old boxcars, with straw on the floor and a bucket in the corner.

Plenty of people with red baseball caps prepared to act as guards!
