Governor Ron Desantis, who seeks a special legislative conference to deal with illegal immigrants, has revealed his long -standing feud with his Republican colleagues in Congress.
He also revealed that the parliament was saying that he was two of his main immigration initiatives and lack of transparency.
For the past two days, the Republican members quoted the performance of his immigration relocation program, stealed almost all of his immigration execution, and justified E-Verify to give it to the State Agricultural Committee. I have come.
In 2022, the State Congress gave Desantis $ 12 million and transported immigrants from Florida to other states. In the latter half of that year, he flew about 50 immigrants from Texas to Marsviniards.
This decision created a headline and an angry electric shock. In 2023 he had another flight, from Texas to Sacramento, California. But since then, it is not clear what Desantis did with money. As of March last year, $ 9.4 million was untouched.
This week, the Republican members of the Republican Party said they had no idea how many immigrants were transported from Florida to other states.
“That’s why I need to be accountable,” said Senator Joe Gruters of R-Sarasota. “That’s why having one person, having a single office and having a laser focus will help everyone.”
Under the law passed on Tuesday night, the program is given to the Agricultural Committee Wilton Simpson. Wilton Simpson will study the effectiveness of the program and decide whether it should continue.
The Governor’s office did not answer questions about how many immigrants have migrated from Florida on Tuesday. This program is still active and is operated by a private company where the business remains a secret. For example, a contractor works under a fictitious name.
The performance of the program was quoted by Republican members by rejection of this week’s Desantis’s demands of $ 350 million and expanded the program to fly immigrants to other countries.
“I don’t think the proposal we originally seen in the ideas proposed by the governor is very reasonable,” said R-Dover’s Lawrence McLuua on Tuesday.
The members of the Diet have also quoted the performance of Desantis’s E-Verify, a federal program that checks the legal qualification of new workers.
Desantis signed the law in 2023 and demanded that all large employers screen employees through programs.
Since then, his administration has not yet cited a single employer to violate it.
GRUTERS told the Diet that the state issued eight letters to companies because the state did not comply with the E-Verify requirements. According to the Ministry of Commerce website, all of these letters were issued in 2022.
“Eight characters since 2022. Why was it more?” Glutter said.
“We are actively conducting more than 100 surveys,” said Emily Herrin -to, a spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce.
The lawmaker of the bill passed on Tuesday has added 17 programs under Simpson and concentrated on audits.
“We are not clarifying the Ministry of Commerce or FDLE (Florida State Executive Office),” said McClure. “There are not many data there, but I’m worried.”
D-Miami’s Senator Jason Pizzo was Tuesday, and Desanthis killed Michael Heartwick at the construction site, and then the ruler of the state road contractor. He said he did not.
The state of the case was on page two, and Tampa Bey Times was discovered. Police also reported the company a year ago to the federal immigration.
“At the bottom line, the governor is not good at this,” Pizzo said.
RANDY FINE Senator Randy Fine, who blamed Desantis as “Flairing” in the last two years, said it would be reasonable to remove it from the Desantis plate.
“I think the governor has something better than Wilton Simpson,” Fine said. “He has a running state.”
