The Florida state legislature passed a bill Friday that expands Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R-FL) migrant transportation program sending immigrants who entered the United States illegally to "sanctuary" cities and states.
The new bill creates the "Unauthorized Alien Transport Program," which was passed during a special session of the legislature. The bill allows Florida to send immigrants in any state to liberal areas. A record number of immigrants illegally entered the country last year.
“People are sick of having an open border with no rule of law in this country,” DeSantis said at a news conference last week. “We can just sit here and do nothing about it or we can actually stand up and say, ‘Whatever tools we have at our disposal, we are going to be using.'”
