Ron DeSantis: Florida Pitching in to Help With Illegal Immigration

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : And while we celebrate the return of Donald Trump to the White House as well as the well-deserved ascendency of his heir apparent, JD Vance, a superstar in his own right, we shouldn't overlook the fact that Governor Ron DeSantis has a pretty bright future in Republican circles himself.
52% : Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Border Patrol, and other agencies involved, under the leadership of border czar Tom "The Hammer" Homan, have a lot of catching up to do and can only count on four years of the second Trump administration, and only on two years of a friendly Congress to help with any legislative requirements.
50% : Nothing is permanent in politics -- except taxation.
49% : The gist of the governor's ambitions with this proposed law seems to be providing tangible support to federal efforts, which is where states can provide valuable help, not just in enforcement efforts -- which cannot and should not be downplayed because, as President Trump has pointed out, local cops know their own jurisdictions best.
46% : States can also provide valuable logistical support -- like housing captured illegal aliens until they can be repatriated.
40% : This means that Florida localities will provide no meaningful assistance to federal efforts.-It unconstitutionally removes authority to enforce the law from the governor to a lower-level cabinet agency, the department of agriculture, that does not oversee state law enforcement and whose stakeholders often oppose enforcement measures.
21% : It is an insult to name such a weak bill after President Trump, who has been so strong on this issue.
