(Breitbart) The Florida SenateĀ has passedĀ legislation that would prohibit government agencies from contracting with companies that are transporting illegal aliens around the state.
Senate Bill 1808 passed along party lines and now heads to the Florida House for discussion and voting.
āYou look at the border we want, [Biden] said we want a secure border, well heās the one that opened the border,ā DeSantis said recently. āAre you kidding me? If you look at the increase in people that are coming here illegally, two million people came illegally from over 100 different countries over the last year.ā
āThat was all as a result of the policy choices that were made upon him becoming president,ā DeSantis said.
NBC affiliate WFLA in Tampa, Florida, reported on the bill:
The bill also revises what Floridaās government considers a āsanctuary policyā and beefs up the requirements to work with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Under the bill, as written, ācommon carrierā companies would be required to disclose to state agents if they transport undocumented immigrants, or āunauthorized aliens.ā
Specifically, SB 1808 says that carriers who āwillfully provideā any service to take an unauthorized alien into Florida, except to put them in detention, removal or departure processes, any state agency, corrections facility or department, or law enforcement entity would be prohibited from entering into contracts with those companies.
