With Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' signature, a sweeping immigration bill that bolsters his migrant relocation program and limits social services for immigrants lacking permanent legal status is now law
on Wednesday signed into law a sweeping immigration bill that bolsters his migrant relocation program and limits social services for immigrants lacking permanent legal status — key political priorities of the Republican as he prepares to launch a presidential campaign.
“We're bracing for some turbulent times ahead," DeSantis said at a bill signing ceremony in Jacksonville, adding,"You're likely to see it get a lot worse.” It also expands requirements for businesses with more than 25 staffers to use E-Verify, a federal system that determines if employees can legally work in the U.S. And it prohibits local governments from providing money to organizations that issue identification cards to immigrants lacking permanent legal status in the country and invalidates out-of-state driver’s licenses held by people living in the country illegally.
DeSantis has made illegal immigration a key priority of his administration as he heaves heavy criticism on Democratic President Joe Biden's border policy. At the governor's Wednesday bill-signing ceremony, DeSantis and others spoke from behind a lectern that read “Biden’s Border Crisis." Multiple speakers at the event detailed crimes committed by immigrants lacking legal status.
