Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced six legislative
proposals, with hopes to pass them into law through the legislature, that would
drastically crackdown on corporations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
who facilitate illegal immigration to the state.
During a press conference on Friday morning, DeSantis
announced a series of legislative actions to reduce illegal immigration across
the state. The six proposals would:
1. Ban state and local agencies from
doing business with or providing benefits to any private-sector business or NGO
that helps facilitate illegal immigration to Florida.
2. Ban state agencies from renewing
state contracts with transportation companies, such as airlines and bus
services, that facilitate illegal immigration to Florida.
3. Require private-sector businesses
and NGOs, who facilitate illegal immigration to Florida, to provide
compensation to the state of Florida to cover all costs that fall on taxpayers.
4. Mandate county and local jails, as
well as courts, to collect immigration status data at the time of a suspect’s
arrest and conviction. The information would be reported to the Florida
Department of Law Enforcement.
5. Ban Florida officials from
providing any discretionary benefits to illegal aliens while state agencies and
hospitals will be required to annually report taxpayer-funded expenses for
illegal aliens.
6. Add the Florida Department of
Economic Opportunity as an enforcer of E-Verify.
In addition to the six proposals, as Breitbart News exclusively
reported, DeSantis announced an emergency order that bans the issuance or
renewal of all state licenses to provide services to Unaccompanied Alien
Children (UACs) who are resettled across Florida. The order is effective
immediately.
The measures are significant as they are the first in the
nation seeking to effectively outlaw many of the business practices carried out
by corporate-funded NGOs who are contracted by the federal government to
resettle hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens across the United States every
year.
Border crossers first arrive at the southern border,
which is entirely controlled by the Mexican drug cartels, and often times turn
themselves into U.S. Border Patrol agents. Others successfully sneak across,
undetected by agents.
For many border crossers who are apprehended, they can be
placed into federal detention before getting released into the U.S. interior.
Corporate-funded NGOs aid with that release process, organizing bus services
and paying for domestic commercial flights that take border crossers to various
states while they await their hearings in immigration court.
A number of border crossers never show up for their
hearings and, instead, live as illegal aliens in the U.S.
DeSantis made the move after his administration
discovered that President Joe Biden’s federal agencies have flown at least 70
privately funded flights full of border crossers and UACs into the state of
Florida — often in the middle of the night.
As Breitbart News has reported, Biden’s agencies expect
that more than two
million border crossers will have arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border by
the end of the year. Meanwhile, as of late October, Biden has released more
than 530,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S.
interior. Thousands have ended up in Florida.
