Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, on the verge of a 2024 presidential campaign, announced Thursday the state's most ambitious proposal yet to combat illegal immigration.
The legislation, which Mr. DeSantis said would counteract “Biden’s border crisis,” would expand E-Verify to private sector businesses, strengthen detention requirements for illegal immigrants in Florida and invalidate out-of-state licenses issued to those living here illegally, among other changes.
Mr. DeSantis, appearing next to a “Biden’s Border Crisis” sign as he addressed an audience in Jacksonville, said his proposal should serve as a template for other states to mimic. He said the plan “is really going to force the federal government to get with the program and to finally secure and defend the borders of the United States of America.”
The proposal would enhance penalties for human smuggling, which has proliferated under the Biden administration and is responsible for moving thousands of illegal immigrants into the U.S. along the southern border.
