#NBCNews #Florida #Protests
Come to California my gosh
Cry me a River Florida you guys voted for him
You don’t want to deported then follow the law and respect!!🤓👀
with a name like Desantis- you Go
This is what happens when you elect a FASCIST, Prejudice person as governor…
Stop with the ‘politically correct’ BS …. Undocumented immigrants”? “Asylum seekers”…. No, actually they are called ‘illegal aliens’ and they have no rights in this country.
California should sign a law just like florida
Every single person claiming to be a patriot should be forced to take the same test immigrants take. The majority of them could never pass it 😂.
Lol. “Whee har peopkle 2”
But the poor companies that want to hire illegals so they can underpay and abuse them won’t be able to harass them anymore nooooo
They are lazy
Sanctuary City Chicago Protest there no Medicaid for illegals
It appears many Florida’s citizens are not paying taxes.
They love the undocumented, and they don’t love them. at the same time. Even the law is absurd. Why everify if you have 25 employees and not if you have 24?
Auto repair shops less than 24/ house cleaners less than 24/gardeners less than 24/handymans less than 24/baby sitters less than 24/restaurant workers less than 24/ Can I continue?
How about if you listen to those who passed the law, do you dare?
One person commented that she has relatives who could work and fill those positions “IF THE PAY IS ENOUGH : you see everything already arranged.
Like she said if they pay enough.
But you know how this works. all extra expenses are passed on to consumers. and no one wants to pay more. there will be no problems right? Do you really expect salaries to increase enough? I want to see it. Who sets the minimum wage? demand that the salary be increased and that the products don’t.
When they hire pure legal people, and the company passes the increase in prices to consumers, people will say that everything is very expensive.
Or they really believe that the costs of raising wages will be absorbed by the companies.?
The good thing we have Biden to blame for everything. Jejej
I will gladly pay more to get rid of every single illegal migrant in this country.
Why does Florida want to hurt the economy we need workers tax payers the more the better we’ve got to keep our country prospering. Why would you cut off your nose to spite your face or cut off your state to spite other states? GEEZ DeSantis is another form of MAGA nuts
Well done!
Apply strict laws on Cubans too! They’re not above the law.
I support the new law,keep the illegals away from us,follow the rules,get here legally then you are welcome :))
Once illegals are gone it is time to bring back slavery. There are plenty of criminals, homeless people, drug junkies, and OnlyFans models that can be forced to do the manual labor the USA is going to need to keep thriving. Are Americans lazier than the Chinese? I say…Yes!!
Our subversive turncoat leaders are giving the country away in exchange for votes
That’s great, now let’s open our pocketbook s and let’s pay Americans to do those jobs, get at least minimum wage per hr, insurance and healthcare. Let’s not treat them as those illegals were been treated . The companies can pass those new expenses straight to the willing consumers, we are sick and tire of so many illegals taking those good jobs , we don’t care if our cost of living will increase, after all is Florida we are use to paying high property taxes, high property insurance ( if we can get any) . Small price to live in paradise!
Cesar Chavez was against illegal migrant workers as they were slaves that could be reported by employers. They would work for less undercutting the hard fought gains of the United farm workers union.
Stop DESATAN NOW….
A-freaking-awesome!! As a naturalized citizen who came here legally 50 years ago, I support this 100%!!
My grandparents were LEGAL immigrants and said themselves that they have to respect the country they want to live in by following the laws. My mother was LEGAL immigrant in the late 40s to finish school. She respected the laws here in the US and had to wait as it was the process. I don’t understand how illegal immigrants can protest when they aren’t citizens and demand entry while others follow the law. Every other country in this world has borders and their entry laws.
Y que crees que atrae a los imigrantes a pasar ilegalmente?
They love the undocumented, and they don’t love them. at the same time. Even the law is absurd. Why
e verify if you have 25 employees and not if you have 24?
Auto repair shops less than 24/ house cleaners less than 24/gardeners less than 24/handymans less than 24/baby sitters less than 24/restaurant workers less than 24/ Can I continue?
How about if you listen to those who passed the law sb1718 , do you dare?
Desantis estated that “It is easier for people to come to this country illegally than it is legally”. He forgot that he is Italian. His parents probably came to visit and never went back to Europe. Mr. Desantis, you have to go back to your land.
This is a country of LAW and ORDER if you don’t like it, get the fuc… out, and by the way, send me the list of countries that allow non citizens to enter their country as they please.
Coming into the country legally, Isn’t any easier.
You’re not from hear then do it the rite way but as of now your a law breaker’s if I walked threw the desert with your kids or send them with some stranger’s you deserved to get your kids took away child indagerment.
when you fool around and elect a fascist governor you find out the consequences too late
We are all people too
I adopted 3 boys from another country and we paid to get citizenship papers for them !!!
Fear the law ? You are free to leave
How can anyone come into the country ,start colonizing it and start feeling like they can kick out the natives and their descendants (mestizos ) ?
How can inhumane Americans talk about people sneaking across the border when we are all immigrants from other countries??? Pathetic
Florida clean up the state.
There goes my plant loads out of Miami.
America love it or leave it. Immigrants do not run this country. Jail those who hire them. No jobs means the flow will stop.
Lol that will be so very good for our economy
Rhonda Santis is a fascist hack. He’ll do anything to destroy Florida’s economy for votes from right-wing extremists. His immigration bill could cost Florida $14B in lost agricultural and construction labor.
For 40 years the American citizen trying to find the work stolen from them have had to live in fear. GO HOME! Americans first. Jail the people hiring them.
Thank You Governor DeSantis for trying to restore law and order to our country, the country that belongs to American Citizens and no one else. The liberal media is trying to twist this but we are not that stupid Lester.
Their vegetables are going to go thru the roof in the next couple of weeks 😂
If these morons got their wish, and every illegal were magically deported, they’d have a Greater Depression. Some of them wouldn’t eat meat for five years.
Go TO MAKES VISA/PASSPORT ONLY,EASY NOT WANT YOU ALL DEAD, RULE IT’S RULE
RON DESANTIS STANDING UP FOR AMERICA’S HOMELAND AND AMERICA’S PEOPLE. .
NBC calls them immigrants… I called them illegal immigrants
Sure. And even illegal immigrants represent a huge net benefit.
DESATANIST: “MAKE AMERICA FASCIST & A DISASTER LIKE I DID FLORIDA & LIKE I CRASHED FLORIDA’S ECONOMY!
I know republican and their voters don’t like immigrants and that because they don’t want immigrants to come here and take over their jobs and country.
People that want special treatment. Democratic party spoils them
Where are these protests in their own country smh
Need to hand out prison time
You can think of it this way,,if you’re relying on a food supply chain it might not work out for you…
Thank you Mr. Desantos. Doing what’s right.
Quick round those ones up!
👏👏👏 COME LEGALLY YOUR WELCOME. COME ILLEGALLY FACE THE CONSEQUENCES. WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS.
so now coming to FLORIDA illegally is illegal? That is so racist
Immigrants work all the fields and jobs that americans don’t want, Construction, behind kitchens etc. Florida will lose billions of dollars and our prices of orange juice across the nation will rise because of racist people like the ones who voted for short santis. construction will slow down and increase in price, insurances will increase and offer less.
You know what Im tired to see how all the south American countries trynna help the US & the US be like thanks for everything but let’s kicked them out 🙄
0:36 – I wonder if Ron Desacntimonium will penalize himself for transporting immigrants across the country.
Deport all
Why? How would that benefit us?
Pay no taxes yet receive welfare and benefits. That’s simply not fair for everyone else
That’s precisely the opposite of the case.
Can any DeSantis supporter explain to me how this law helps Florida? I can see how it helps his prospects with the Republican base – but what specific benefit does this provide any Floridian?
These are the kind of people who goes to holiday events, crowding the parks making trouble for others.
lol! She saids she is not illegally and we are people! That’s the problem with all you illegal aliens you like breaking the law and freeloading off the IS Americans taxpayers money! Snap has been good to her, big pig!
It’s amazing that you imagine they’re a bunch of freeloaders, really.
@Stephen Kizlik YES really! The US Americans taxpayers paid out trillions and trillions every year for illegal alien criminals and freeloaders! Do your research! You think all you Pedro’s are educated, skilled, and low I mQ add to the economy! Think again 🤡
People like this are everywhere
Even in Japan, we sometimes see garbage from underdeveloped countries protesting desperately in the city
Call the immigration police have them all arrested and deported
Deport them all!
Ok bye
This is Republicans fault for knowing people/ corporations/ small business owners were hiring these illegals and paying them under the table llong ago under Reagan administration. Its the democrats fault for enabling these illegals by giving them ID’s shelters, and entire cities to work and live in. This is a political stunt to get votes. Illegals have been coming across the boarder for decades and working hard doing low paying back breaking manual labor jobs that NO legal American will and won’t do. Both parties knew this long before this maga crap. Corporations and private businesses made money hand over fist for decades and lobbied silently to keep all this going. Here comes trump to blow ot all up with his bigotry speech years ago. Now all of a sudden its a problem???? So now the illegals have power to cripple the farmers, construction and other back breaking in some cases low paying outdoor jobs. This is BOTH political parties fault!!!!!
Illegals have been coming with every presidency! Before we had a president groups of people arrived by ship with out permission fron native americans…..and guess what? They stayed!
I start liking DeSantis. I’m in FL and we NEED housing for legal people here.
I see empty construction sites and farms all over florida.
All those people who support DeSantis better than to pick his own vegetables😂😂😂 pick you up at vegetable pick you vegetable see how you like it😂😂😂😂
you do know that she is one of the few who will speak truth to power. The so-called conservative party often speak about patriotism, religion, and immigration, all of those issues are none issues that directly affect the quality of life of the citizen of America. The Conservative party is a false flag op whose mandate is to limit corporations’ tax burden. Its corporate slave masters who shipped out all the American jobs overseas in the name of money, not Jesus, not because they are patriotic but because they worship money. Black and brown people are the indigenous people of the Americas, not European colonizers or their descendants. I find it very ironic that white Europeans came to America to enslave indigenous people and steal resources, uneducated fools have the gall to speak on the definition of an Illegal alien? What sir kind of twilight zone buffoonery is that?
this peaple get FREE medical.. meanwhile I have insurance & still have to pay premiums ps. I had a surgery last December & I still 😡 owe money to the hospital.
It is easier to come illegally than to come legally yup! So true
Bring in more migrant workers legally.
Good! Learn how to speak English first and try again.
Hey Ron, didn’t you feel threatened with all those immigrants passing you?
The border is open right?
The border is not open. Just look for videos from Republican, Democratic and Independent reporters, Biden has the border closed. Find out for yourself. And stop believing that lie. It is one thing that there are many immigrants wanting to enter because of the economic and security situation of other countries, especially Venezuela and Cuba, and another that they succeed. Wake up please! And when Republicans spread the word that the border is open, isn’t that a magnet for more to come?
All companies have to do is hire nonviolent prisoners. Much cheaper to pay them to
Bravo DeSantis 👏 👏 👏
This should start long time ago, I think every state should do this
IF YOU WANT TO COME TO THIS COUNTRY COME LEGAL WAY
It’s both great and horrible. It’s great because illegals will not be exploited for cheap labor. It’s horrible, because prices will rise and businesses that once depended on exploiting illegals will, most likely, close.
Wasn’t this tried before? Humans are people too😢
those who want to sponser a migrate pay all costs out of your pocket . the leaches and her daughters give and give send them back.
Good!
So where are Fred, Darryl, Harold, Bill, and Jillian gonna get their illegal workers hypocrittically?
Love you look at the video it’d be really easy to get ice in there all the protesters load them up take them back where they came from
😂😂 protesting your ILLEGAL immigration in Spanish….NICE !! 😂😂
It’s Ironic with these Americans, first they take the land from natives, push them west with violence and harm, and now that more people are coming in PEACEFULLY to work they are upset and think is not fair. So much for “Land of the free, and home of the “brave” jajaja
We Americans are mad because these illegal immigrants entered the United States 🇺🇸 illegally without our permission and without going through the proper channels.
We Americans must uphold our laws what’s the point of having laws if filthy uneducated illegal immigrants enter the United States without our permission to steal our jobs away from real actual Americans.
We Americans must uphold our immigration laws, we Americans must reinforce our southern border, and we Americans deported every single illegal immigrant that has entered the United States in the last 60 years.
They are not undocumented immigrants, they are illegal aliens! Can’t even speak a word of English. I love how NBC FAKE News puts its spin on the story. Deport them all!
So anyone that look what we consider to be an immigrant can have someone call on them over and over again because that is what is going to happen. She goes to the doctor office let me call make sure you suppose to be here. He takes his children to school someone says let me call to make sure you suppose to be here. He and his family working and someone says let me call to see if you supposed to have a business. They are at a store and a racist says I going to call on you to make sure you can shop for food. I hope they leave Florida and go other states that will love to have what they have to offer this country.
Yep, your illegal. This is the USA 🇺🇸
Floridian finna go pick their own crops and build their own houses 😂😂😂😂😂
The immigrants would not have to live in fear if they were legal. Their choice. No country allows you the benefits of citizenship if you are not a legal citizens. So why do the illegals expect a free pass?
legal immigration only send the rest back to Mexico. do what trump did; stop the migrants or tariffs of 25% on all mexican goods. it’s simple and it works.
Fix the immigration issue and this won’t be a issue
Cubans against their own interest… Also why they support trump… Not realizing THEY’RE the immigrants politicians are talking about
Based Florida
If your not illegal than you have nothing to worry about…
🤡 🌎
Naybe the US should start treating central and south American countries borders like they do ours…
