Governor Ron DeSantis’ crackdown on illegal immigrants seems to be paying off in more ways than one, according to a recent report. The governor’s multi-pronged effort to reduce illegal immigration in Florida has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of taxpayer dollars going to fund healthcare for those residing in the country illegally.
The governor signed a law last year requiring hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients about their legal immigration status when they seek treatment. The legislation does not compel patients to answer the question, but immigrant rights groups argued that it would discourage them from receiving medical attention funded by the government.

Immigrants rights groups my derriere ...illegals don't have rights. These illegals are busting our hospitals and school systems . Look for all of these " rights groups " to come out of the woodwork if Trump gets elected and starts deporting them.

All ya gotta do: --Make a big public announcement that the USA is going to machine gun to death anyone crossing the border, maybe announce a large number of dead in the Rio Grande. The USA doesnt have to hurt anyone, just say we will. IIlegal crossings will drop to almost nothing. Of course some will still cross, but its the message we should send.

Yeah, #4, all the Treepers would have us believe that - not only is he a deep state tool who's been directed to take out Trump - he's also the worst governor in the country, whose success in turning Florida crimson red is due to nothing more than the conservative majorities in the legislature.

I wonder if any of the Dems in Florida realize that DeSantis is actually a pretty good governor.

When I read quotes like this, FTA; 'Thomas Kennedy of the Florida Immigrant Coalition said while there is no concrete evidence that the drop in Medicaid spending is a result of the law,...' I immediately translate to: there is ample evidence, which we will continue to do our utmost to hide from you. And the MSM will be very helpful in that mission.

Immigrants have rights - in their home countries. Many of these "rights groups" have collected money for other purposes from people who have unwittingly donated the immigrant support money for some other purpose (Catholic Charities) and many heads of these groups see financial gain from illegal immigration. The Biden Crime Family is attempting to realize political gain from their votes.

These "Immigrants Rights Groups" need to all be investigated for their funding and foreign (enemy) influences.
I remember years ago seeing hordes of illegals and their children sitting on the lawn outside the Dallas Parkland Hospital Emergency Room waiting to be seen for every little thing. People inside the hospital told me how it created a HUGE problem processing real-life trauma patients (if you're not familiar with Parkland, it's one of the busiest in the nation for trauma events... like gunshot wounds). Illegally in this country, Mexican "Indians," would bring little "Pedro" or grandmother "Margarita" to the Emergency Room for sniffles or sore throat or Leprosy, thinking it was just another "Doctors without Borders" type travelling treatment center that took anyone brought to them. It wasn't long after that crisis hit maximum that they suddenly vanished and there was instituted a new policy in hospitals to direct non-trauma "walk-ins" to the nearest "for profit" 24 Hour Emergency Clinic the likes of which are growing rapidly across the U.S.
What's truly sickening to me sitting is seeing the high numbers of old people from Hindu Indians, unable to speak English, and still wearing their native clothing, sitting in waiting rooms for non-emergency medical procedures with their migrant children acting as translators. Have the rapidly "chain migrating" Hindu-Indians found a loophole in Social Security to get their parents a place in our government "gravy train?"
It has to STOP and Chain Migrators sent BACK to where they came. Also, those "birth right citizenship" cases need to be cracked down on and sent packing as well.
That Germans couldn't do it. The Japanese couldn't do it. The Cubans couldn't and neither could the Soviets... but Mexicans, Drug Cartels, Arabs, and even Communist Chinese have INVADED this country like a deadly cancer, and now, any attempt to extricate them from this "body" of this nation will threaten the very life of the host. This is the reason we maintained very strict requirements regarding immigration eligibility into our country, else we lose control and get invaded by barbarians, criminals, terrorists, and spies. The Democrat Party has been totally compromised by our enemies, especially Red China.
We can't depend on the CORRUPT Federal government, so we MUST do what we can at the State level.

Since liberals seem to admire everything 3rd world, we need to institute 3rd world immigration laws. We need to treat illegals and immigrants like they treat immigrants

The way our taxpayer's dollars should be spent for the welfare of Florida citizens! This conservative thinking goes waaay back with either democrat or republic administrations so nothing new & another big reason why Floridians aren't saddled with a State Income tax either. I remember the big outrage when Gov. Rick Scott denied acceptance of getting sucked into the freebies connected with High Speed Rail and expanding Medicare when the feds PROMISED several years of subsidies but after that Florida would get stuck with supporting ventures that have been boondoggles when the $$$$ went to other states such as CA and NY. Why doesn't the fake news report on how more is being allocated to public schools and teachers as well as various conservation and ecological measures all over FLorida? Liberals always want EVERYTHING yet fail to recognize the implications of uncontrolled spending. Most Floridians appreciate knowing we have Law & Order with respect for our law enforcement as well. Perhaps all of this is enough to discourage illegals from squatting in Florida? If so - that's their choice and not ours to encourage it! Thank you Governor DeSantis for doing your share to help keep America Great.

Pardon me but Jeffery needs to rephrase a sentence in the second paragraph -
'........ receiving medical attention funded by the government.'
should read - 'PAID FOR BY THE T A X P A Y E R S'.
I'm sick of people thinking, saying and writing about how the government
PAY FOR EVERYTHING.
No it doesn't, not by a long shot, not even close !

Question asked #11: I have 10+ years of answers, consultant for Social Security and SSI Medicaid. I was personally involved the following cases: (1)Woman from India legal because her daughter is citizen. Mom 61, doesn't speak English, never worked, has mild arthritis, considered disabled and gets $ from SSI Disability as well as Medicaid. Daughter is a board-certified neurologist! (2)Child has ADHD diagnosis, takes meds. Gets $ SSI Disability because he has been placed in Sp. Ed. due to poor academic progress and behavior problems. Parents legal immigrants from Nigeria; child born in Africa. Both parents are electrical engineers. They declared to local SS office that they had income below poverty line. This is *never* checked. Local offices are *directed* not to check. By reading the medical records, I saw that they were both employed and their address literally next door to friends who live in gated-community, houses starting at $500,000. When I asked the Deep Staters who run the program about referral to OIG for fraud, I was told that my job was to advise on the medical aspects and that I was not authorized to "investigate" anything else. They eventually terminated my contract as I had cases like this every single day, and made trouble repeatedly. The Deep State at HHS is especially good at deep cover...Who would be mean enough to make a fuss about "disabled" little kids and old folks? PS Kids in school who can't speak English by 6th grade placement also get "disability" checks when they are placed in Special Ed. by school that love the extra money they get for every disabled child. Open border is a cash cow.

Sundance could not be reached for comment.
I recall about a month ago a story that listed 3 Florida cities in the top ten for illegal migrant influx. Maybe they will leave.
