Florida's Republican legislative leaders are pushing back against Gov. Ron DeSantis' call for a special session on January 27th, arguing that the focus on immigration and other issues could be premature and that the matters could wait until the regular session. Despite this pushback, DeSantis has issued a proclamation calling for the special session.
the Jan. 27 special session Monday, hoping lawmakers would act on supporting planned deportation efforts, along with condominium regulations, hurricane relief, and regulations for ballot initiative petitions.
“It is completely irresponsible to get out ahead of any announcements President Trump will make, especially when uninformed or ill-timed state action could potentially impair or impede the success of President Trump’s forthcoming efforts to end illegal immigration, close our borders, and protect the sovereignty of our nation,” says the memo.
“Florida’s Constitution compels our attendance at a special session unilaterally called by the Governor. However, the power to convene a special session also resides with the presiding officers. As the people’s elected representatives, the Legislature, not the Governor, will decide when and what legislation we consider,” the memo concludes.
President-elect Trump was elected with a mandate to stop illegal immigration and deport illegal aliens already in our country.
