Comment Up
HB 235 was vetoed by Governor Rick Scott even though it was passed in the Florida House, 155-2 and in the Senate, 36-0. Our elected representatives sympathize with illegal immigrants who were brought here by their illegal immigrant parents and believe that they deserve a Florida driver's license.
"Deferred action status is simply a policy of the Obama administration
absent Congressional direction, designed to dictate removal action
decisions using DHS (Department of Homeland Security) agency
discretion," Scott wrote in a veto message. "It was never passed by
Congress, nor is it a promulgated rule."
The Florida Democratic Party excoriated the Republican governor's
action. "Rick Scott continues to alienate and discriminate against
thousands of undocumented immigrants. Instead of joining the
legislature's near-unanimous consensus around HB 235, Governor Scott
imposed his rigid ideology on Floridians — to the detriment of the young
immigrants who are Florida's future," said Democratic Party spokesman Joshua Karp.
