Don't worry, trump says mean things about the libs so that's obviously much better than continuously racking up more conservative wins.

It's immigration reform and border control day in Florida as DeSantis is signing the strongest bill against illegal immigration in the country in today's W.



1. Mandates E-Verify for public and private employers: Employers who fail to use E-Verify will be fined $1,000 per day until they comply with the law. Penalties for employing illegal aliens include license suspension and even revocation for repeat offenders.

2. Enhances criminal penalties for human smuggling: Those caught transporting illegal aliens will face 5 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Those caught transporting 5 or more illegal aliensor a single unaccompanied minorwill face up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

3. Disqualifies out-of-state licenses issued to illegal aliens (Florida does not issue driver licenses to illegal aliens)

4. Prohibits county governments and NGOs in Florida from using taxpayer dollars to supply "community IDs" for illegal aliens

5. Makes it a felony for an illegal alien to use a fake ID to obtain employment in Florida

6. Charges hospitals to collect and submit data to understand how much the Biden Border Crisis is costing Floridians

7. Secures an additional $12 million for Florida to transport illegal aliens into "sanctuary" jurisdictions

TBH, not sure that wouldn't require an amendment to the Constitution?

I don't believe so. I don't know the specifics of how the 14th is applied to illegals but what is most likely is this would trigger a court case that could actually end up reversing how those issues are handled. Certainly when the 14th was passed it was not meant to protect illegals.

DeSantis risking $17 billion investment by Disney in WDW / Florida and Iger asks if DeSantis wants Disney to reconsider whether to invest this.

That's a lot of $$$s. DeSantis may have to take an L on this one at some point.

What L is he taking?

17bil over how long? Show me the economic impact of missing those dollars? Show me that in a 100bil budget that had a 20+bil surplus how it really matters?

It's simple, cash doesn't compromise the states values.

Again, illustrate your point a little clearer.

Sounds like CEO posture speak.
He doesn't have another state he can go invest in.

The liberal ones will tax him to death and be lawless. The conservative ones will push back.
The middle of the road ones dont have any major cities.

I saw that yesterday. So Iger threatens that Florida better sell its soul and allow Disney to determine state law or else they'll lose Disney's money?

As a FL citizen that makes me give an even bigger middle finger to Disney, and I'd be extremely disappointed in Desantis if he gave in to Iger's threat. And if you think Desantis will suddenly cave to that threat then you don't know him. Plus, all the legal stuff I've seen coming out from the people who actually understand the issue points to Disney being extremely behind the 8 ball on this issue.

That's likely why Iger makes empty threats like this. He's desperate to resolve the issue before Disney gets their ass handed to them in a court. Go watch the videos Hawg posted on that thread. And yes, these are empty threats. Disney needs to continually invest in their parks to keep guests returning. If they do cut back its not because of this issue, it'll be because of overall economic reasons.

Go it. You seem rational. Go DeSantis 2024!

If its no big deal its no big deal. Personally, if a governor costs my state $17 billion in investment because he is too smug to sit down and talk just to score a potential political point, then I consider that an L.

The two sides not working together for an agreeable solution is a net negative economic impact for Florida.

Right now DeSantis has leverage and can get his best deal. I think he should figure it out, not drag it out.

I have seen the first video Hawk posted and provided my initial thoughts.

I do not think the bond issue is quite the issue the video guy thinks it is. Even if there is a potential issue, its a leveraging point but no one is going to want those bonds called. NO ONE.

So money over principles? That's how we got into this mess.

But seriously, it's an ebony threat. Where are they going to reroute that 17 billion? The state of Florida has all the leverage and they're using it to their advantage. I just don't understand the desire of some people to see this fail. Makes no sense.

You are reaching here.

DeSantis can call Igor's bluff. The reason he can is because his state is doing extremely well financially. Igor can huff and puff but if Disney stock takes a big hit he is fired.

I think I'm well informed. See believers comments above. Guy won by 20 points in Florida. This isn't going to hurt him AT ALL. He holds all the cards.

They AREN'T moving Disney World.

Disney is trying to saber rattle because they screwed themselves. We have a better chance of seeing Greta Thunberg going to work for Exxon than Florida rebuilding WDW in another state. How the hell would you even sell that land without spending billions in demo work first?

Then call his bluff and bring him to the table to work a deal.

DeSantis is at a big risk of overplaying his hand. It's not fake ftc making this up, folks like Kudlow and other's are cautioning DeSantis to resolve it.

It's not money over principles. DeSantis can get a great deal in his favorā€¦ for now.

Who said they were moving? Just invest those dollars elsewhere or delay until a more favorable governor is in place.

The DeSaintis worship is strong. Is the guy above any criticism at all?

Wow. What pearls of wisdom you produce.

Hey ladies, let's vote RonnieD because he has the balls to go up and grab 'em by the pooty!

I think that approach has been tried. It's cute seeing him trying to emulate his idol.

I know now you don't play poker because you don't know what the nuts are regarding all our cards banter back and forth. No reference to balls at all.

You self own so well.

I'm trying to understand your argument here FKA. Are you implying DeSantis hasn't asked Disney to come to the table?

I haven't seen anything from Disney that amounts to any sort of willingness to work with DeSantis on the issues they are having. I have seen clips from DeSantis essentially saying, "hey, I would love for us to come to the table to talk, I'm just not going to allow special privileges to a corporation that is using its influence to lie about my policies."

It seems to me that Disney keeps forcing the nuclear option, then crying when it doesn't go their way. Maybe they do withhold 17 billion of new investment. But I don't see how that benefits them. The best case for Disney is that it hurts DeSantis enough in the press that he can't run for President, forcing him to be stuck in FL politics for the foreseeable future. That just doesn't seem like a good end goal for Disney.
