Talahassi, Florida – On the eve of a special legislative session, convened by governor Ron Ron, Republican legislators, submitted a wave of bills on repression of immigrants without documents on Sunday and to place additional restrictions on the voting process.
The bills will partly put an end to public education in colleges and universities for immigrants without documents known as dreamers; setting new requirements for the police to assist efforts to impose immigration measures; and drastically change the process of petition for the proposed constitutional changes.
Senator Blaise Ingolia, R-Spring Hill, Senator Jonathan Martin, R-Fort Mairs and Senator Jay Collins, R-Tempa, have filed 11 bills on late Sunday afternoon, according to the Senate Website. Congressman Mike Caruzo, R-Delrey Beach, and Congress John Temple, R-Wildwood, had filed versions of the House, which largely reflects the bills of the Senate.
Department convened the special session on January 13 because it wants legislators to make changes to help the implementation of President Donald Trump’s immigration policy. Other questions that the landing wants to look at the legislators include changes in the vote process, the assistance of the victims of hurricanes and solving problems that have increased the costs of condominium and residents associations.
However, the special session was surrounded by uncertainty, as Senate President Ben Albrite, R-Wauchula, and chairman of the chamber, Daniel Perez, R-Mayami, raised objections. Among other things, they said the special session was “premature” and indicated the beginning of the regular legislative session on March 4.
However, the landing has made a series of appearances to try to put pressure on lawmakers to act on the problems – especially by focusing on immigration problems.
While the bills were imported on Sunday, it remained unclear how the special session would take place. The Senate and the Chamber must gather at 10:30 in the morning on Monday, but none of them has planned committees meetings as of Sunday afternoon to review the proposals.
Among the suggestions:
-Martin and Temple have filed bills (SB 20-A and HB 19A), which will repeal a 2014 law that allows immigrant students without documents to avoid higher education rates outside the state if they meet certain criteria. Albrite proposed a gradual elimination of the law, taking into account students who already receive training benefits or who make plans to attend colleges or universities at cheaper prices in the state.
-Ingoglia and Caruso have filed bills (SB 4-A and HB 9A), which say that law enforcement authorities “should” support the application of federal immigration laws. Currently, US law says agencies need to “make every effort” to support such implementation. In addition, according to the bills, when counties are notified that prisoners have immigration detainees, they will be required to transport prisoners to federal facilities or to federal officers.
-Ingoglia and Caruso have tabled bills (SB 14-A and HB 11A), which require state and district law enforcement agencies and other police agencies with more than 25 employees to conclude agreements with US customs and immigration authorities to participate in a program that authorizes a program that authorizes a program that authorizes a program Local employees to perform certain obligations of federal immigration agents. The bills will also give the governor’s powers to eliminate the head of a law enforcement agency, “who, at the discretion of the governor, acts in bad faith and does not comply with any provision” of the bill.
-Collins and Caruso have tabled bills (SB 18-A and HB 21A) that would change the vote process, including what seems to be the removal of the use of paid petition collectors to collect signatures. Voters may request a petition forms to be sent to them by post by election observers; They could then send back signed petitions. The proposals come after Roanthis led efforts to reject voting proposals in November, which would include abortion rights in the US Constitution and allow the use of marijuana for entertainment.
