A Florida state lawmaker has introduced a bill that would prohibit certain public colleges and universities in the state from admitting immigrants who are in the country without legal authorization. The proposal comes in the wake of Governor Ron DeSantis' call for a special legislative session to assist in the implementation of President-elect Donald Trump's immigration policies.
The bill was filed by a Republican state senator who is also a congressional candidate seeking to replace a current representative. The lawmaker argues that it is unfair to allow undocumented immigrants to occupy spots that could otherwise go to Floridian or American students.
