Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday that the state will hopefully become the first in the country to do full E-Verify for employment.

DeSantis made the announcement shortly after Senate Bill 1718 was approved, according to Breitbart. The policy is a major stand against illegal immigration into Florida. “Even the New York Times admitted this is the strongest legislation against illegal immigration anywhere in the country,” DeSantis said during a speech from the Miller Electric Company in Jacksonville.

The Largest E-Verify For Employment

“And that’s important, because the people are going to come if they get benefits. And so what you want to do is say there’s not benefits for coming illegally,” DeSantis put succinctly. (LEARN MORE: ‘She Can’t Do Dirt’: Million Voices CEO Hilarious Commentary On Kamala Harris Will Have You Roaring)

““It’s already against the law for someone to be employed if they’re here illegally, but the E-Verify provides a way to make sure that that’s enforceable. So we think that that’s something that’s going to make a big, big difference,” he noted.

More Protections For Americans

The bill also “enhances human smuggling penalties” and “prohibits county governments and NGOs from using tax dollars to provide IDs for illegal aliens,” Breitbart noted. (LEARN MORE: More Than 800,000 Illegal Border Crossers Released Into U.S. Without Any Recourse By Biden Administration)
