Florida Governor DeSantis unveils hardline immigration package

Al Jazeera  

DeSantis, a likely 2024 US presidential candidate, signed into law a bill that would limit access to healthcare and work. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed into law a multi-pronged immigration bill that will increase funds for his state’s controversial relocation programme, as well as heighten barriers for undocumented migrants and asylum seekers trying to access healthcare and employment. The bill comes as DeSantis gears up for an anticipated presidential run in the United States that would likely pit him against former president and current Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. At a signing ceremony on Wednesday in Jacksonville, Florida’s most populous city, DeSantis took aim at another 2024 presidential contender, Democratic incumbent Joe Biden. “You’re likely to see it get a lot worse.” The new immigration package includes requirements that hospitals collect data on the migration status of patients using Medicaid, a federal health programme for low-income households.
