The state of Florida is currently considering a series of policies designed to tackle illegal immigration.
If passed, the measures would be the most extensive crackdown on illegal immigration by any state in over a decade.
The bills would make harboring, employing, or transporting undocumented immigrants illegal.
Hospitals would also be required to ask about patients’ immigration status.
Reporting from Red State:
“With this legislation, Florida is continuing to crack down on the smuggling of illegal aliens, stopping municipalities from issuing ID cards to people here illegally, and ensuring that employers are hiring American citizens or those here legally,” DeSantis said at a news conference in February. “Florida is a law and order state, and we won’t turn a blind eye to the dangers of Biden’s Border Crisis. We will continue to take steps to protect Floridians from reckless federal open border policies.”
