Florida’s legislation transmits A Mettest Immigration Bill killed by Talahassi Democrat


The governor of the landing, who cited him as “weak, weak, weak,” version of his immigration program, will probably veto the bill pushed out by legislative leaders.

Play

Stopping a two -day special session that bitterly divided the ruling Republicans into Florida in government, legislators on Tuesday evening adopted a bill, creating extensive new powers to state and local law enforcement authorities to assist the federal immigration implementation.

Although legislators have processed the legislation (SB 2-B) in an attempt to compromise, his passage probably guarantees veto the government Ron Roanis, who calls it a “weak, weak” version of his immigration program. And the Senate did not approve the bill with sufficient votes to veto.

Not surprisingly, the governor published on the X: “The Pinto is Done.”

The final vote came after the fierce 48 hours of online investment by the employees and supporters of the landing, aimed at legislative leaders who pushed the bill and the Commissioner for Agriculture, Wilton Simpson, who will take over the application as chief immigration official of the state.

Department was sitting for a few interviews with conservative radio and television talk shows, including Laura Ingham and Dana Loze, Republicans, who affected his priorities, which included to give him the authority to stop the bills of the bills, “which in (his) (his) (his) (his) (his) (his) (his) His) solution…, act badly, “without complying.

Both sides-dentis of one and home speaker Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albrite, the two Republicans, have firmly argued that President Donald Trump’s mantle, whose aggressive anti-ilele immigration initiative prompted the sudden session. The President has not been publicly wearing since the end of Tuesday to “coping and reforming the illegal migration policy” or the Trump Act.

Senator Joe Gruts, who was carrying a ridee on the lapel Trump, said he hoped the governor would not veto the account: “I think this is a working product in which many people put some time and effort and I think we have received some contribution From the White House of very good political proposals, Sarasota Republican told the USA Today Florida-Network.

“Just like all the immigration bills we passed, it’s not a silver bullet, but we’re moving the ball forward and we have to support the president,” he added.

Perez of Miami and Albrite of Wauchula said the changes were made in consultation with the White House, but Desantis continued to break the bill, saying. “The semi -finished ones will not be enough,” Social media has published.

He was especially gathered by how the measure drives Simpson’s Chief Immigration Director and puts the obligations to apply under his competence, arguing that this move puts “the fox guarding the hen.”

The final version of the bill includes a provision that makes the death penalty compulsory for immigrants who have illegally entered the country and have been convicted of a capital crime. It also creates financial sanctions for civil servants who do not comply with the Federal Immigration Act, a $ 5,000 fine.

It includes a maximum sentence for any immigrant who has entered the country illegally and is a member of a gang and convicted of a crime. It requires the “Chief Immigration Director” to approve and apply agreements between local law enforcement authorities that require them to help federal immigration officials.

The bill also provides a $ 1,000 bonus for law enforcement officers who participate in the US Department of Homeland Security major operations of an operational group.

Democrats tried to eliminate a measure to cancel public education for students from higher education-known as “dreamers”-who entered the country illegally, but this provision, supported by Senator Randy Finn, R-Melbourne, remained in the bill.

Bill accepted the Senate with 21-16 votes

In the Senate, the ally of the Union of Belle Ingoglia, a Republican from the spring hill, also criticized the bill, but not for the same reasons as his democratic colleagues.

He claims that immigrants who have entered the country illegally and work here send money to drug addicts to their home countries. He added that the bill did not abandon financial transactions abroad and did nothing to remove immigrants who were not Florida criminals.

“How do you think a poor Guatemala family is able to invent $ 15,000 or $ 25,000 to pay the coyotes and drugs to bring them across the southern border?” said Ingoglia. “I appreciate the experience. I don’t know what the result will be, but I can’t vote for it because it is not strong enough for my taste. I want to put us in a position to stop these things.”

Senator Jay Collins, a Republican from Tampa, joined the vote of ingoglia down the account: “There is even more work, we can sharpen our sword,” he said.

The bill passed 21-16, with six Republicans voting #: Senator Jonathan Martin, R-Fort Myers, Senator Erin Grall, R-Fort Pierce, Senator Jennifer Bradley, R-Fleming Island and Senator Alexis Kalatay, R -MII, joined S The bill will need 27 Senate votes to revoke veto.

Bill passed a house with a wider margin but with a democratic disagreement

In the Chamber, the Democrats have pressed many changes that have been repelled by the cancellation of training in the state and would prevent local law enforcement from applying immigration applications in schools and places of worship.

“This is inhuman,” said Rep. Robin Bartleman, D-Weston, who filed a correction. “We are better than that.”

The amendments failed, along with the dispassionate requests for changes and voting “no” by the Democrats of the Chamber, which identified parts of the measure as cruel and non -constitutional.

“Although I agree that we have to deal with the borderline challenges and reform immigration policies, we must also bear in mind the impact on our young people in the school system,” Reps said. Johanna Lopez, D-Orlando.

Republican chamber leader Tyler Siroa of Merrit Island said his fellow members “vote for the most aggressive immigration package ever viewed by this chamber or 49 other states.”

“When you get home, you can tell your voters that you answered the president’s call,” he said. “When you get home, you can tell them that you have made your role to stop this invasion.”

In a pointed message to the landing and other opponents of the legislation that questioned his power, a reputation Lawrence McClur, R-Dover, who sponsors the bill of the house, said: “He is not weak. It’s bold. It’s strong. It’s well thought out. “

The bill adopted the Chamber with 82-30 votes. Only one Republican in this chamber voted against: State representative Mike Caruso of Delray Beach.

Perez closed the session with the finger of those who attacked him, Albrite and Simpson: “The threat of others to break into you is not leadership, it is immaturity. People in our country deserve better.”
