The Florida Immigration Coalition joins Equality Florida and NAACP in issuing a travel advisory for the state.
Florida is proposing some of its toughest immigration laws in years, backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. One bill proposes prosecuting legal residents who hide or transport people in the country illegally. As a result of that, another group has come out with a travel advisory for people coming to state.
The Florida Immigrant Coalition wants people to know they might face problems if the law is passed. They join two other groups Equality Florida and The Florida NAACP which have come out with similar warnings...to not come to Florida. “I’m very concerned that this bill that is promoted by Gov. DeSantis is going to harm, you know, not only the immigrants but also the rest of the community in general,” Uwimana said.
When asked what he says to people who say that they shouldn’t be here illegally, Uwimana said, “I do not agree with that. There is a reason why they are here. No one chooses to flee, no one choose to be a refugee or an immigrant. Because they are here, there is a reason why they are facing persecution in countries where they come from.”
