Rapid Response Director for Ron DeSantis, Christina Pushaw, responded to a CBS News story on Monday, criticizing what they called a “controversial Florida law” that no longer recognizes driver’s licenses issued to illegal immigrants.
Pushaw tweeted “It’s not controversial to prohibit illegal aliens from obtaining government documents like driver licenses while they are here illegally. Try immigrating illegally to a foreign country as an American, then demand a local drivers license… You will be laughed at, then deported.”

There were plenty of tweets that followed in support of the new law, expressing surprise that anyone would consider it controversial to require legal status in order to be issued a government document.
Our ‘leaders’ have forgotten their nation is their priority and that their citizens are their nation. Time for a massive house cleaning. As for the media. No one cares about them anymore.

What is the point of citizenship, if citizenship means nothing? Noncitizens do not have all of the rights citizens do, anywhere but the US. 🙄

Thank you Governor DeSantis for taking away incentives from illegal aliens to remain in Florida. They’re free to migrate to the blue states where they support illegal immigration. FL shouldn’t have to suffer the consequences of open borders caused by the Biden administration. https://t.co/J4IAtUPtGe
