Tallahassee, FLA. – Florida’s legislators handed a couple of rebuke to governor Ron Roanis on Monday, choosing to discuss their own packages from immigration bills by repealing their veto from legislative funding and refusing to immediately consider the accounts for which he had demanded on other topics.
“In fact, it is about following the leader you trust,” said state senator President Ben Albrite. “For my part, I trust President Trump.”
What was done on Monday?
Dig for a deeper:
After fulfilling their requirement to fall in love with a special session called by the governor, they fell just as quickly. They then went to work on their own Immigration Bill, which they called the Trump Act.
This is made by the Agriculture Commissioner of the new “Chief Immigration Officer of the State”, he allocates half a billion dollars to law enforcement agencies in order to abandon illegal immigration and cancel the state training for children without documents.
“I just hope at the end of the day, the working product that leaves the legislature is the one that is very, very strong and complements the work that President Trump does in the White House,” said State Senator Blaise Ingoglia.
The emotional fee of the debate was exposed, especially when it came to the cancellation of state benefits for children who were brought to the United States, a measure signed by then governor Rick Scott and was supported by The current lieutenant Governor Janet Nunes.
“These are children who are so incredibly patriotic,” said State representative Anna Escamani (D-Orlando). “They love this country so much. It’s not their guilt that they have no status. They had to go to Florida High School to qualify for it. It’s the only country they know.”
Big look at the elder:
While Republicans have a large enough majority to obtain the immigration bill they want, the day is considered remarkable even by the Democrats, who note that it is among the first when legislative leaders do not follow the landing.
Along with the vote for the restoration of the financing of the legislative services that the governor imposed on the veto, they have not taken topics that the governor has called them, especially reforms in the new laws of the Condo inspection in Florida and the process of the initiative of the state initiative.
What’s next:
Democrats predicted that the Immigration Bill would land on the governor’s desk.
“It won’t be what he wants,” said State Senator Shev Jones (D-Miami Gardens), “But I will tell you if he imposes it on a veto, we have the numbers to cancel his veto, just as we did Today, when we have overcome his budget element, which he vetoed the last legislative session.
Supporters of the bill that the governor supports is worried that the Trump Act will not go far enough to ensure that the underdeveloped penalties for an attempt to register to vote that the transfer of wires to the home countries is blocked and that local law enforcement will have the teeth that they are on the teeth they will have the teeth they will have the teeth that they will have the teeth that they will have the teeth that they will have the teeth that they will have the teeth, which they will have the teeth that they will have the teeth that have the teeth they will have the teeth that have the teeth they will have the teeth that are with the teeth that they will have the teeth that are with the teeth need S
Tuesday voices are expected on Tuesday.
What led to a special session?
The story:
Earlier this month, the governor stated that the issue of illegal immigration he calls a “crisis” cannot wait until the regular legislative session, which is due to begin in March.
Later, the landing government held a press conference in Winter Haven with the leaders of law enforcement, including the sheriff of Polk Grady Jude County, saying that it is now the time to turn to immigration with President Donald Trump, who is returning to the White House.
“We in Florida have a sense of urgency to fulfill this mission,” said Zanthis on January 15th. “The mission is very simple: we have to end the illegal immigration crisis once and for all in these United States of America.”
Governor Ron Roanis spoke on January 15 in Winter Haven about immigration.
What did the governor offer?
Big look at the elder:
During his press conference on January 15, the governor set out several suggestions that he wanted to turn to:
- Requirement of “maximum participation” among all cities and counties in the implementation of immigration laws
- Adoption of criminal sanctions for illegal entry under state legislation, in addition to federal laws
- Appointment of a civil servant for the law enforcement of immigration dedicated to the supervision of coordination with federal authorities
- Expanding existing authorities, with the support of the Federal Government, to enable local and government officials to retain and deport untouched immigrants
- Stronger application of bands, including expanding the legal definition of the gang-related activity
- Reforms in Education and Voting Rules (Desantis has indicated proposals to ban some state universities from accepting undocumented immigrants and terminating training in public colleges and universities)
- Further rules for confirming US citizenship and Florida residence when they register for voting
- Increase penalties for illegal immigrants who perform fraud with voters or provide information on registration to fake voters
- Imposing an ID card for foreign money transfers (transfer of money from one country to another)
- A presumption of the risk of flight when considering a guarantee of illegal immigrants who have been raised on penalties
Other problems on the table
While immigration was an important position for this special session, the landing government also wanted legislators to deal with the relief of the hurricane, the reform of the Kondo fee and the process of initiative for the vote for citizens.
Retreat against a special session
The other side:
Some of the best leaders in Florida, including members of the governor’s own party, came out early this month against the idea of a special session.
State Senate Chairman Ben Albreton and Chamber Chairman Daniel Perez, the two Republicans, issued a joint note called the Session “Prematurely” and “completely irresponsible” because they wanted to wait for Trump to see how they would deal with how they would deal with the borderline situation.
What they say:
Both Albrite and Perez repeated their support for a more stringent implementation of immigration laws during the short-term session on Monday, re-resting the governor’s call for the session.

“President Trump obviously has the situation under control and is a leader from the oval cabinet,” Albrite said. “I want to be careful that we do nothing to undermine the very good plan of President Trump. I will not uphold it.”
“We were considering the governor’s proposal carefully, and he had some good ideas,” Perez said. “But many of his suggestions are bureaucratic. We do not need to duplicate the function of American immigration and customs and create a mini-men version of ICE.”
What’s next:
Both Florida’s legislative panels plan to gather on Tuesday morning.
The regular Florida legislative session is planned to start on March 4.
