End in Sight for Illegal Immigration Incentives

Florida’s legislature is pushing through legislation that its proponents say will end benefits that serve as “incentives” for illegal immigrants to come to the state while cracking down on immigrant smuggling and other provisions seen as benefiting migrants.

“Why does anybody want to actually go through the process of actually becoming legal when all of these benefits are out there which are, I would argue, incentives for people to come over illegally,” Republican state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia said Tuesday, while the legislature was marking up his proposal before the Senate Committee on Fiscal Policy passed the recommendations, reports The Washington Examiner.
