DeSantis went after the Biden administration's immigration policies just hours after a Leon County judge dismissed a lawsuit against his administration for flying 50 migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts.
DeSantis, though, trained his focus on Biden and cast the federal action as politically shaded.
But DeSantis’ immigration announcement Thursday follows a pattern of recent weeks, with the governor unveiling Florida-specific proposals that may appeal to Republican voters nationwide.The governor is widely expected to announce his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination soon after the legislative session ends in May.
DeSantis wants to toughen sanctions against those who smuggle undocumented immigrants into Florida and expand an E-Verify requirement approved in 2020. He’d apparently eliminate a major exemption included at the time for the state’s powerful agriculture industry and options other than E-Verify that other businesses could use.
“This is something we estimate to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars range,” DeSantis said. “But this is just an estimate based on very limited data. It may be much more.”
