And the Florida Citizens CHEER!  I had assumed 65% (or more) of the Population was illegal! :-) I have a friend who is a nurse in Pensacola, and she says the demographic changes are staggering. Maybe they realized they can't support them all. So, will they all run north?? Beware Mississippi, Georgia, and Alabama.  "Sanctuary cities basically create law-free zones where people can come to our state illegally and our country illegally, commit criminal offenses and then just walk right out the door and continue to do it," DeSantis said. "In Florida, that will not happen." TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CAPITOL NEWS SERVICE) - Cities and counties with sanctuary policies on the books have 90 days to repeal them or face stiff fines with the new sanctuary city ban officially going into effect Monday. Cities and counties with sanctuary policies on the books have 90 days to repeal them or face stiff fines with the new sanctuary city ban. The controversial new law requires local law enforcement to hold illegal immigrants who have been arrested for 48 hours if federal immigration authors issue a detainer request. State Senator Joe Gruters sponsored the legislation and told us in May that the goal is to adhere to the rule of law. "If there's a warrant for you, you should be detained and held whether it's Georgia, California or the federal immigration authorities it's all the same thing and we should treat people the same way,” said Gruters. Gruters has announced he’ll be embarking on a statewide listening campaign on the issue of immigration. His next goal is to pass an E-verify law in the state, which would require businesses to check the immigration status of potential new hires. The bill sparked protests among immigrants and their advocates at the Capitol when it was before the Legislature. They feared it would encourage law enforcement profiling, force people to be deported for minor offenses like traffic infractions, and discourage crime victims and witnesses from coming forward. Opponents also argued that holding people based on an immigration detainer was unconstitutional. "[It] broadly bans all policies and procedures and requires every Florida county and municipality to expend maximum local resources to enforce federal immigration law," the ACLU of Florida said. "Moreover, it does not provide any funding or reimbursement for its costly mandate." The ACLU of Florida also issued a "travel alert" warning immigrants against traveling to the state because of the risk of detention.
