FL SB 168 - Prohibiting Sanctuary Cities

The Florida Senate Committee on Infrastructure & Security held a hearing yesterday on Senate Bill (SB) 168 that prohibits dangerous sanctuary policies in our State of Florida.

Democrats want to stop it. The ACLU wants to stop it. Open border Marxists want to stop it. And overall, those who hate America want to stop it. And we're sick of this commission in Lake Worth that declared that we are a "welcoming city," the same damn thing as "sanctuary."

Florida is spending $6.29 billion annually to support ILLEGAL immigrants.
