'WE HAVE TO STOP THIS NONSENSE': DeSantis Cracks Down on Immigration in Sweeping Bill

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.11.23

This week, just hours before Title 42 was set to expire, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a sweeping immigration reform bill; “We have to stop this nonsense, this is not good for our country,” DeSantis said at the bill signing.

The bill is considered one of the toughest immigration crackdowns in the country.

From Just The News:

The bill will enhances penalties for human smuggling and strengthens employment requirements including making an employer with 25 or more workers use the federal electronic system E-Verify to check the immigration status of potential new hires, the USA Today Network also reports .

The bill will also prohibit local governments and non-governmental organizations from using taxpayer dollars to pay for illegal migrants’ IDs. It also makes it a felony for illegal migrants to use a fake ID to get a job, USA also reports.

“The Biden Border Crisis has wreaked havoc across the United States and has put Americans in danger,” DeSantis added.

“In Florida, we will not stand idly by while the federal government abandons its lawful duties to protect our country. The legislation I signed today gives Florida the most ambitious anti-illegal immigration laws in the country.”

DeSantis shared more information on Twitter:

“Florida will not be a sanctuary state that allows for illegal aliens to usurp our laws. IDs issued by sanctuary jurisdictions will be invalidated in the state of Florida and using a fake ID to obtain employment will now be treated as a felony.”

“Human smuggling will not be tolerated in Florida. Knowingly transporting an illegal immigrant into Florida will result in 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine per offense. Transporting five or more illegal aliens, a single unaccompanied minor, or a convicted smuggler will result in a $10,000 fine and up to a 15-year prison sentence.”
