Florida immigrants detail their exit following DeSantis immigration law: 'I had to leave'

When David Guerra and his large family fled Florida in May, they left behind beds, mattresses, furniture and the construction tools they used to make a living. But it's when he thinks of his children's toys that his voice breaks.

“That is what has hurt me the most, my girls, who no longer have toys,” said Guerra, who is from El Salvador and who, until a few weeks ago, had a home, a yard and a business with his family in Tampa.

Their life as they knew it changed, according to Guerra, when Gov. Ron DeSantis, signed SB 1718, the immigration law that goes into effect on July 1. The law imposes strict restrictions and penalties to deter the employment of undocumented workers in the state.

Of the 10 people who lived in the Guerra house, only three children were U.S. citizens. The others didn't have legal immigration status. They left Tampa on May 30, from the same street where, a month earlier, Guerra had seen the belongings left behind by other immigrants and joked in a popular TikTok video that he would be next. .............

Can you  say "Bull Biden"?

We are supposed to believe that a handyman who  made a good living as a REPAIR man left not only his clothes and his kids toys behind,but also left his TOOLS behind????

Just HOW is he supposed to earn a living at his new location when he doesn't have any tools to work with?

This whole story reeks of BS.

Don't believe me,ask  ANYBODY you know that works as a repairman.

And those three kids each cost about $15k a year to educate. That's $45k a year just for this one "family" and it doesn't even begin to pay the taxes they consume.

This is just legalized theft from the community.

It's start.  Like peeing in an empty pool.   It take a long time to notice a difference.

Make things real easy and DEPORT THEM ALL!!!  Don't let them into the country in the first place.

Gee, a wall would be nice.  Grab a few billion ear marked for Ukraine and protect our borders and it would be done.

Of course we all know that the open border policy is intentional. In doing so, it equates to votes, globalization and control.
