Florida has found the right formula to deal with illegal aliens. They have passed laws that make it practically impossible to get jobs illegally and many illegals are already self-deporting themselves to more friendly blue states. Will Texas be next?
Many red states may follow the Florida example. This would be a huge win for those states, but blue states will feel the pain as thousands, if not tens of thousands illegal aliens will begin flooding blue states.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new law on May 10 that criminalizes the act of knowingly transporting migrants into the state who entered the country illegally, requires hospitals to obtain patients’ immigration statuses, and provides $12 million to the state to transport migrants.
Some illegal immigrants in the area, however, are reconsidering their future in the state over the crackdown, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official working in California and an immigration worker told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
A DHS official told the DCNF:
“Because of the uncertainty and actions of DeSantis, non-citizens in Florida are looking at other sanctuary cities outside of Florida.”
“A lot of them come here seeking medical benefits and treatments, and with those being difficult to acquire now, a lot of them want to come to states like California, where all those resources are provided.”
Patricia Andrade, director of Raices Venezolanas Miami, a nongovernmental organization serving Venezuelan immigrants that the use of E-Verify, which checks a person’s ability to work legally scares them.
They are not used to being accountable to US laws, especially with Joe Biden and Alejandro Maqyorkas operating as the welcome wagon.
Andrade said:
“Many are leaving because of E-Verify and some are afraid.”
Roughly 770,000 illegal immigrants live in Florida, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
“We have to leave Florida,” an illegal immigrant living in the Sunshine State for more than a decade told Axios. “I love Florida, I love the weather, I love the people. But I knew we had to leave when I read what was in that law. It isn’t safe.”
DeSantis filed paperwork Wednesday to launch his presidential bid. He is expected to make his formal announcement on a Twitter space with Elon Musk Wednesday evening.
DeSantis has sought to take a hawkish stance on illegal immigration by deploying state resources to the Texas-Mexico border and to Florida’s coastal border. He also transported migrants on flights from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard on Sept. 14.
Immigration advocates quickly criticized the move and launched legal battles, arguing that DeSantis misled the migrants he was transporting.
“So what you’re saying is… the law is working? Good,” DeSantis spokesperson Christina Pushaw wrote on Twitter of illegal immigrants leaving.

The entire U.S. needs to pass the same laws that Florida did. It only makes sense.
Illegals are called ILLEGALS because they are Breaking Our Laws just by being HERE!
Of course, the Domestic Criminals called democrats do not believe in Our Laws unless it suits their Sick Anti American Plans! I am glad to live in Florida where we have a Governor who actually believes in the Rule of Law and Protects US from these Illegal Invaders and their Willing Enablers in the Democrat Party! There was a Time in America when Trespassers would be Shot….. I call those the Good Old Days!
Hooray Ron awesome
DeSantis is a Bushite, another stooge for the NWO playing the wolf in sheep clothing.
The Establishment (anti-Trump) GOP will see to it that DeSantis is the 2024 nominee.
I love the fact that DeSantis is protecting his state, every Governor should be doing this as well. We welcome immigrants that come here LEGALLY. People who do not is making it harder & longer for people trying to obey our laws & come here legally. Trump will have his job cut out to send these law breaker back or out of our country. My relatives served our country to make things for us AMERICANS the best country we can be and Biden is slapping every serviceman/woman in the face. My grandpas, uncles, brother & husband would be turning in their graves the way Biden is treating our beloved country!
