America backs the incoming President’s promises to deport undocumented immigrants, a pledge that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has doubled down on.
That’s according to a survey being circulated by Donald Trump’s political arm.
“The New York Times poll found that 87 percent of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants with criminal records, 63 percent of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants that arrived under Joe Biden, and 55 percent support deporting all illegal immigrants,” the transition team routes on Saturday.
The survey shows 68% of Republicans believe immigrants are a “burden on our country” because they take away “our jobs, housing, and health care.” When it comes to deportation, meanwhile, 87% of Republicans back it.
Florida will take concrete steps to help with deportation, with a Special Session planned during the last week of January with Trump’s blessing.
This week, the Governor outlined specific proposals that will be presented later this month, including mandating “that law enforcement at both the municipal county and state level … have maximum participation in any programs to assist the federal government with the enforce enforcement of federal immigration laws,” moving to “enact criminal penalties for illegal entry under state law,” and appointing a state immigration officer “dedicated to overseeing coordination” between federal and state resources.
DeSantis also wants local officials “empowered” to deport “people here illegally,” along with “better gang enforcement” and a broader definition that encompasses “these groups of illegal aliens … criminal rings of people taking advantage of very weak Biden administration policy.”
Reform of voter rolls is also necessary to further discourage illegal immigration with a declaration of U.S citizenship upon registration, DeSantis said, as is increasing penalties for false information and ending “in-state tuition for children of illegal immigrants.”
The Governor also wants to crack down on remittances to home countries by imposing ID verification in what he calls an “E-Verify for remittances,” which he sees as a “huge deterrent” to these transfers of money.
Finally, he wants a Texas-style “rebuttable presumption” that assumes detained illegal immigrants will flee and “are flight risks,” denying them bail.
The Governor has linked Florida’s legislative effort with the President-elect’s mandate.
“He told me, he said, ‘Listen, I know inflation is a big deal,’ but … the number one reason why he got elected, he said, was because of the immigration and the border issue,” DeSantis told podcast host Dana Loesch this week.

“The survey shows 68% of Republicans believe immigrants are a ‘burden on our country’ because they take away ‘our jobs, housing, and health care.'”
Yes, millions of U.S.citizens are lined up to get back those jobs in picking fruits and vegetables fourteen hours a day, building homes in 100+ degree summers, and working as nursing home attendants slogging bed pans for minimum wage.
Yep, they can’t wait to get at it. Burden no more!

Sit back and watch, Earl Pitts, as the chaos all this causes when there are no people to do the jobs TJC mentioned get done. Granted, we need meaningful immigration reform that allows people to come into this country and do these jobs as temporary workers. We need both sides of the aisle to work together and to work with all industries affected to fix this. We need a system that has rules that will be fair and will be known by all and that will be enforced if violated by immigrants and employers alike. We need both parties to buy into a deal that will truly work, not to use a broken system to jockey for political gains.

The fact that you can gleefully assign these jobs to impoverished, illiterate immigrants who paid their last peso to sneak into a country in full knowledge that they would someday be expelled represents a kind of race-based, ignorant hatred that inflects liberalism worldwide.

MAGAs, following Trump the draft dodger and specialist in litigating, hope millions of migrants will vote with their feet. Hence the big wind of impending strikes.
I am curious how the border agency plans a strike on Chicago migrants at Trump’s behest before Trump is inaugurated? (And latest word is Trump reconsidering this move.)

Not to mention Trump’s trade tariffs that will raise the American consumer price of imported fruits and vegetables……..Food prices in the USA will skyrocket if Trump’s forced immigration policies are implemented.
The policies will have absolutely no impact on me…….i can easily weather any price increases. Trump’s MAGA working class red hats will feel the pinch.

First, before even the tax cuts for the wealthy, DJT needs to deal with bird flu.
