\n\n“DeSantis. In his 2023\u201324 budget, announced<\/a> on Wednesday, the governor requested $12 million to continue his “initiative to protect Floridians against the harms resulting from illegal immigration by facilitating the transport of unauthorized aliens.” The $12 million would be used<\/a> “to cover all costs associated with facilitating the transport of inspected unauthorized aliens, including, but not limited to the costs of litigation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The request mirrors a provision in the 2022\u201323 budget that funded “a program to facilitate the transport of unauthorized aliens from this state<\/em> consistent with federal law” (emphasis added). This time, DeSantis wants to transport<\/a> migrants “from any point of origin in the U.S. to any jurisdiction.” Spending taxpayer money to protect Floridians, in other words, need not involve anything actually taking place in Florida.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
