Florida GOP lawmakers OK DeSantis’ sweeping immigration bill

A red state governor doing conservative things with a red legeslature and red judiciary. Amazing...

Let's compare that to Trump who was in the White House with a GOP House and GOP Senate.

Doesn’t work that way. If the two nominees (Pres and VP) are from the same state, the electoral college votes do not get counted. Going to win the presidency? You have to have Florida counts.

And how did that formerly purple state turn bright red? DeSantis squeaked in and then started implementing his agenda, and Florida has gotten redder and redder the longer he has been in office. The force of Governor DeSantis’ vision and his ability to make it into reality has a lot to do with him now governing over a red state with a red legislature.

Chiding him for having a red state when he is one of the driving forces behind making it red and keeping it red is ridiculous.

"Let's compare that to Trump who was in the White House with a GOP House and GOP Senate."

You say? Trump would have done a lot better if he would have had a conservative house and conservative senate that didn't undermine him at every step of the way.

Instead, Trump had Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan leading the charge against him.

” employment verification”

That’s the problem. Illegal aliens are given a TIN and even SSN that is verifiable as employable by eVerify.

DeSantis squeaked in

Only with Trumps help.

PS: Florida was never purple./

[central_va]

Was it a GOP house with your RINO hero-in-chief Paul Ryano in charge?

[central_va]

Yea or no. Quit BS and dancing around or look like the fraud coward most of you milquetoast moderates really are- assistant Democrats..

[Erik Latranyi]

Instead, Trump had Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan leading the charge against him

Both of whom Trump endorsed.

DeSantis took a narrow win and turned it into a deep red state.

Trump took a solid win and turned it into 6 consecutive national election losses.

[Erik Latranyi]

Was it a GOP house with your RINO hero-in-chief Paul Ryano in charge?

That RINO was endorsed by your cult-leader, Trump.....the same guy who endorsed Paul Ryan's protege.....Kevin McCarthy....and who endorsed Ronna Romney McDaniel.

It is Trump who is on the side of RINOs. But I never expect you to understand that because it was not told to you in a cult meeting.

[Erik Latranyi]

DeSantis squeaked in Only with Trumps help. PS: Florida was never purple./

If Florida was not purple, why did DeSantis squeak in with Trump's help? How did he turn that squeak into a larger majority statewide without Trump's help?

In fact, your cult-leader, Trump helped Charlie Crist in the closing days of the 2022 election.

But Trump keeps supporting RINOs and Democrats, so it is not a surprise.

Trump had Ryan! Ryan is a trojan horse and not a conservative. Ryan was there to stop conservatives. Kinda like you.

[central_va]

Because Desantis sucks?

[Erik Latranyi]

Trump had Ryan! Ryan is a trojan horse and not a conservative. Ryan was there to stop conservatives. Kinda like you.

Trump endorsed Ryan. Trump also endorsed Ryan's protege, Kevin McCarthy.

DeSantis is a true conservative. Trump is not.

If you believe otherwise, seek professional help.

[Erik Latranyi]

Because Desantis sucks?

Yeah, he sucks so much that he went from squeaking in with Trump's help to a 20 point landslide with Trump campaigning for the opposition.

[chickenlips]

But Trump has pep rallies, banners and merchandise, why would he need a ground game? s/

[usurper]

We must further strengthen our laws against illegal immigration by enhancing employment verification.

I have maintained for years that other than completing the wall this will have the most significant impact on reducing illegal migration. That's why the fed/gov does not enforce it.

There is no reason that the Florida Department of Labor can't enforce this law and start handing out huge fines.
