Desantis pushes the legislators of Florida to take measures against illegal immigration, warns the consequences of defiance
Florida Governor Ron Desantis on Thursday forced Republican state legislators to take emergency measures against illegal immigration, voting to fight as a “waste dog” and warning of political consequences for defiance.
Governor relied on the legislative body of Florida on the eve of a special session next week, during which he wants legislators to adopt new laws for combating illegal immigration in cooperation with the President Donald Trump Federal level administration. But GOP leaders called the session “premature” and let them know that they could declare themselves without taking action regarding the Governor’s agenda.
Desantis warned that it would be a expensive mistake. “It would be politically very, very dangerous,” he told reporters during a roundtable at the Sheriff’s office in Jacksonville. He also suggested that he would convene another special session of the legislative body if GOP leaders delay the action.

“I have my own constitutional authority that I use in this process and I will continue to use it as needed so that we can do a job,” he said, adding that he would fight as a “waste dog” to obtain his adopted immigration policy.
– You don’t let go.
Desantis wants Republicans to bring laws that would require state and local officials to comply with new immigration commands issued by the White House and provide them with funds for this. He also called for a law to punish state and local officials who violate “policy against the refuge” Florida, WPTV reported.
The governor also instructed the legislators to consider additional assistance in the case of a hurricane, suppressed the fraud with signatures of the voting initiative and resolve the problem of growing HOA fees.

The President of the House of Representatives Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton responded coldly when the governor called for a special legislative session that begins on January 27. In a joint statement of January 13, they called “irresponsible” that the legislative body acts before any announcement Trump could do on immigration and He criticized the factsaying that the governor offered only the “fragmented idea” and did not publish any text of the law or details that the legislators could consider.
Legislators will “decide when and what laws we will consider,” the leaders of the House of Representatives and Senate of Florida said.
Trump has already issued a number of executive commands to start the promised “mass deportations” of illegal immigrants present in the United States. On Monday, Trump declared an extraordinary situation on the southern border, deployed 1500 soldiers to the border and abolished the program of the CBP One Biden administration application for migrant processing at the port of entry through humanitarian conditional discharge.

Trump’s administration also started restoring the construction of the border wall and re -introductioning a policy of staying in Mexico, which requires migrants to remain in Mexico during the duration of their asylum requests.
These combined policies resulted in a sudden drop of 35% in meetings with illegal immigrants on the southern border, more sources from the Ministry of Homeland Security told Fox News Digital.

Desantis rejected the concern of the legislative body, saying to reporters on Thursday, “We’ve been waiting for this moment for years. Not premature.”
“We cannot procrastinate. We can’t wait for something to come into force in July. We need something right away and we have to start everything, and we have to do what we told the people who chose us to do.”
