Major Florida Illegal Immigration Bill Introduced

Here is some really good news! Florida Rep. Don Brown of District 5 in the Florida Panhandle has introduced into the Florida 2008 Legislative Session a major bill to deal with illegal immigration. HB73 is modelled after the successful Oklahoma bill.

In past years FLIMEN and others were able to stop driver's licenses for illegal aliens for two years and to stop college tuition subsidy for illegal aliens for three years. For the last two years a few decent bills were introduced but not enacted. The 2008 Legislative Session is expected to be different, much different.

PLEASE BE PREPARED TO HELP! IN THE NEAR FUTURE YOU WILL BE ASKED TO HELP IN NUMEROUS WAYS SO PLEASE RESPOND QUICKLY AND ENTHUSIASTICALLY. WITHOUT YOUR HELP THIS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRISIS WILL CONTINUE TO DEGRADE FLORIDA.
