Governor DeSantis on top of the illegal alien situation

Governor DeSantis signed bills to address illegals

Bottom Line: On Friday, Governor DeSantis along with AG Ashley Moody and other officials held a presser on combating illegal immigration. In that presser DeSantis detailed what his just announced deployment of Guard Troops and law enforcement officers to South Florida, to combat specifically Haitian illegal immigration, would do.

The key, as Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw also outlined, is to capture would-be illegal immigrants in state waters prior to their making landfall. Florida’s state waters extend out three miles from the Atlantic coastline and nine miles from the Gulf coastline so that’s the window they’ll be operating within. As for Florida’s new legislation that Governor DeSantis signed at the event.

Three bills aimed at combating illegal immigration were signed into law on Friday by Governor DeSantis.

They are:

• The Reclassification of Criminal Penalties

• The Identification Documents law

• Driving Without a Valid Driver’s License law
