DeSantis’s Budget Plan Includes Millions To Deport Illegal Immigrants From Florida

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis released his new budget proposal late last week, which includes a request for millions of dollars to remove illegal immigrants from the state.

“In yesterday’s budget, I put in $8 million for us to be able to transport people here illegally out of the state of Florida,” DeSantis said during a Friday press conference. “It’s somewhat tongue in cheek, but it is true, if you sent them to Delaware or Martha’s Vineyard or some of these places, that border would be secure the next day.”

“One of the priorities that we’ve been working on for many months now and we’ll continue to work with the legislature when they get back is dealing with the fallout from the reckless border policies of the Biden administration,” he added.

The proposed program would be paid for with “interest accrued from federal funds,” according to the Miami Herald. As reported by Pew Research, there were approximately 775,000 illegal aliens residing in Florida as of 2016, but under the Biden administration, illegal immigration across the southern border has skyrocketed to record highs, with those aliens spilling over into surrounding states. Nearly 2 million illegal immigrants were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the U.S. southern border in fiscal year 2021. Such estimates do not account for “got-away” migrants that avoid detection by CBP officials, however. —>READ MORE HERE
