ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Illegal Aliens have willfully ignored our nation’s immigration laws.

Criminal Illegal Aliens have ignored our immigration laws AND have committed other crimes.

They are law breakers and they are dangerous, which is why no local community should be permitted to provide safe harbor for Criminal Illegal Aliens.

That’s why I am excited to share that legislation I authored, which is also referred to as “America’s Toughest Sanctuary City Ban”, was signed into law in Florida. This was my top priority, and it was great to get it done!

Forcing Mandatory E-Verify would require businesses to make sure they are only employing people who are here legally. 

This is good policy, it’s the right thing to do, and it’s a critical step towards protecting American jobs.

That’s why I’m proud to have authored the e-Verify bill as a Member of the Florida House of Representatives, and now as a State Senator, I am a co-sponsor of e-Verify legislation.

I look forward to continuing my fight to get this important piece of legislation passed!

While walking with her father, Kate Steinle – a beautiful 32 year old American woman – was gunned down by an illegal immigrant who had been previously deported five times. This is inexcusable and the thug who killed Kate Steinle had no business being in our country.

I believe that those who repeatedly ignore our immigration laws and have no respect for the rule of law, must be punished!

That’s why I successfully added Kate’s Law to the Republican Party Platform in 2016 and authored legislation to have Kate’s Law passed in Florida, which would increase the penalties for illegal aliens who are caught re-entering the United States after having been deported.

Illegal Aliens have broken our immigration laws and they continue to ignore the rule of law.

The lack of respect for our country and local communities is shocking and infuriating. In response, I do not believe illegal aliens should have the right to secure a driver’s license, which could help facilitate bank fraud, identity theft, and voter fraud.

As your State Senator, I will continue to do everything I can to block illegal aliens from receiving the right to have a driver’s licenses.
