What a difference a decade makes.
Jeanette NunesFlorida lieutenant governor, says law (HB 851), which she defended in 2014, must now be repealed.
“More than a decade has passed since this law was passed. Our country looks a lot different today than it did then. It is time to repeal this law. He has accomplished his purpose and run his course. Florida will not encourage illegal immigration through this law or any other,” she posted Saturday.
“Under the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantisFlorida has passed the toughest anti-illegal immigration laws in the country. In fact, our administration banned sanctuary cities, banned driver’s licenses and ID cards for illegal aliens, passed E-verify, sent illegal aliens to sanctuary jurisdictions, and deployed resources to the southern border to fight unprecedented illegal immigration. These policies are, as intended, deterring illegal immigration, and Florida has a responsibility to do more.
DeSantis has called a special session for this week that begins Monday, though no bills have been filed for it.
Among the priorities: legislation that would repeal the state’s “learning breaks” for children of illegal aliens in Florida.
While this bill is not currently being introduced for the special session, Senator. To Randy Fine legislation (SB 90) would end the 10-year practice of providing this group with in-state tuition at colleges and universities, saving about $45 million in taxpayer dollars currently burdened for this purpose.
Fine’s bill, if passed as written, would repeal the provisions of Section 1009.26 of the Florida Statutes that apply to any student who attended Florida high schools for at least three years before graduating from the state and who applied in a state institution of higher learning no more than 24 months after graduation.
Currently, the exemption is “applicable to 110 percent of the required credit hours of the degree or certificate program in which the student is enrolled.”
