Will the GOP Betray America on Their Promises to Crack Down on ILLEGAL Immigration?
There’s no way Florida will crack down on illegal workers

There will be no Arizona-style immigration law in Florida.

There will be no crackdown on illegal workers.

Gov. Rick Scott will be leading no bus caravans back to Mexico.

If this is the issue that fired you up and drove you to the polls, then it served its purpose.

It rallied the conservative base. It played a key role in Scott’s race against Bill McCollum in the Republican primary.

But now the campaigns are over, and reality has set in.

Too much of Florida’s economy relies on illegal workers. So they aren’t going anywhere except back to the hotel rooms, the construction sites, the restaurant kitchens and the vegetable fields.

If it’s any consolation for him, McCollum was right when he said: “We don’t need that law in Florida. That’s not what’s going to happen here.â€
