As this medium has reported, the initiative is promoted by the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who raises the flag that his state cannot become a sanctuary for undocumented people.
But what would happen if someone gives a job to an illegal and they find out, if the law is approved? The measures contemplate prison sentences of up to 5 years for anyone who transports, shelters or gives work to an illegal. They would also require hospitals to find out the immigration status of their patients and share this information with authorities.
In addition, they would invalidate the driver’s licenses issued by other states to illegals and would prevent the entry of people without legal status to the state bar association (Florida Bar).
Analysts point out that as written, the law makes the transportation of an illegal alien a third degree offense with penalties of up to 5 years in prison. In addition, it would include jail for a person born in the United States who is transporting a parent or relative who is illegal or a lawyer who is taking his client to an immigration court.

These prerogatives have been legal in Florida for almost 10 years after another Republican governor (now Senator Rick Scott) authorized it.
