Description
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is looking to lead the way in supporting President Trump's illegal immigration crackdown at the state level.
The governor approved a sweeping package of immigration bills on Thursday after a weekslong feud with Florida Republican leaders on the matter. Despite their initial disagreement, Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Daniel Perez stood by DeSantis' side as he put pen to paper.
“The Florida legislature has passed the strongest legislation to combat illegal immigration of any state in the entire country," DeSantis said while signing the bills into law.
The governor blamed the Biden administration for "creating chaos" at the U.S. border and touted Florida's efforts in preventing people from entering the country illegally. He cited past controversial moves to send Florida law enforcement officers to the Texas border and charter flights transporting Venezuelan migrants from San Antonio to Martha's Vineyard.
