Measures target people convicted of driving without a license – which undocumented people can’t obtain – or committing felonies
Florida’s governor signed bills Friday that increase the prison and jail sentences for immigrants who are living in the United States illegally if they are convicted of driving without a license or committing felonies.
Ron DeSantis is a frequent critic of the Biden administration over its handling of the Mexican border, sending Florida law enforcement agents and national guard members to Texas. The Republican governor, who ended his attempt for his party’s presidential nomination last month, has also flown immigrants who entered Texas illegally to Massachusetts and California.
“we don’t want immigrants taking our jobs or taking up a penny of tax payer money! Let’s spend millions of taxpayer dollars to imprison them indefinitely instead!!!”
Clearly he’s one of those totally stable geniuses I keep hearing about
Yes, but they are an awfully convenient source of free slaves.
Yeah, but it’s not really “free” though. Housing a single inmate in the united states costs something like $43,000/year on average. That money comes from taxes!
I meant that you don’t have to buy the slaves, but you are very correct. They’re still expensive, just not for the prisons.
