Removing in-state tuition for undocumented children in Florida is not only a shameless act of disloyalty to Floridians but it is also a senseless one. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/02/19/e...

Trump administration is reviving a program called 287g Task Force, deputizing police officers in the street to ask immigration status. Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas signed up for this program that was dropped in 2012 after abuses like racial profiling cost tens of millions in lawsuits.

If migrants held in Guantanamo Bay were deported immediately due to a lawsuit regarding their rights while in custody (some were in the high-security area used to detain people accused of terrorism), why were they sent there at all at taxpayer expense? Another stupid and dangerous political stunt.

So what’s the plan to address worker shortages in Florida while lawmakers in the state legislature go after our immigrant workforce? Allowing teenagers to work earlier than 6:30 a.m. and after 11 p.m. on school nights while also eliminating their breaks: floridaphoenix.com/briefs/repub...

Not content with merely pricing out undocumented students out of their university degrees by ending in-state tuition, the Florida Legislature has a bill in the House and Senate that seeks to prohibit undocumented students from enrolling in state universities.

🚨The Trump admin is moving to terminate Temporary Protected Status for half a million Haitians in the United States, seemingly illegally moving up the expiration date from next February to August of this year. In a single day, 500,000 people could lose work authorization and deportation protections.

Immigrants in FL make up 47% of workforce in agriculture, forestry, fishing, hunting and mining; 38% in construction; and 25% in service jobs. Going after this workforce means higher prices in supermarkets and disrupted supply chains. That’s the reality.

Florida’s own Office of Economic and Demographic research acknowledges acute labor shortages in the state. So what does the state legislature do to address it while attacking our immigrant workforce? Continue to weaken child labor laws. Unbelievable.

New from me: The Florida Legislature ended in-state tuition allowing undocumented students who completed three years of high school in FL to pay the same as U.S. citizens for a university degree. They refused an amendment allowing current students to finish their degrees. Cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
