Florida State Senate Chairman Says Immigration Bills Dead this Session

Chairman of the Florida State Senate, Mr. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, has confirmed that bills revolving around the issue of illegal immigrants and in Florida and their removal will not be considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee this session, as reported by Bradenton.com.

Portilla said that the committee already had way too much on their plate for this session and this rules out the possibility of any of the immigration bill proposals from being heard in this session.

Essentially, there have been two new proposals requiring approvals to be passed as an official bill and these are at the moment being withheld in Diaz de la Portilla’s committee. Both these proposals aim to remove undocumented aliens residing in Florida because they are causing problems in the classrooms, do not have enough skills to pay for themselves, do not speak English, and consuming too much in social services.

Fort Myers based immigration lawyers such as Michael Raheb (http://www.michaelraheb.com/) who is a leading name in this field know the first bill is SB 872 and it was drafted and proposed by Sen. Aaron Bean. SB 872 will tackle the immigration issue by preventing sanctuary city policies that currently exist in the state of Florida. If the bill is passed, law enforcement officers will be mandated to keep in custody illegal immigrants if ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) expresses interest in picking them up.

This is to prevent what happened in San Francisco to Kate Steinle which basically was that the city of San Francisco allowed her to be murdered or at least increased the chance that the criminal illegal alien that SF PD had in their possession would harm someone. 


 The second bill is SB 118 and is the brain child of Senator Travis Hutson. It proposes to make the act of reentry into state after deportation a felony crime that may attract punishment that includes as many as 30 years in prison. 30 years would be rare but a couple of years could be the norm. 30 years could happen though under extreme circumstances though.

Gitmo Transfers could Evolve into a Lawsuit being Filed by House Republicans

A politico.com report suggests that a private law firm and their immigration legal professionals are working with House Republicans and they may very well file a civil lawsuit against the Obama Administration for its infamous executive actions with regards to immigration policies. The potential plaintiffs are eyeing specifically the transfer of detainees from Guantanamo Bay, according to immigration attorneys in Fort Myers, FL who are closely following the proceedings. One of the best in this part of Florida is Michael Raheb and his track record in this arena is commendable and fantastic.

A spokesperson for Speaker Paul Ryan commented that Congress had confirmed that the President did not have the right to move Gitmo terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to the United States under the law, however, they do not think a lawsuit filing is on the cards but they will not shy away from taking the litigation route if the Obama administration tries any illegal action which would not be the first time the Obama administration put Americans in harm’s way for the sake of their politically correct ideology.

As part of the contract, the counselors are advising Paul Ryan about the legal aspects surrounding the moving of the detainees from Guantanamo Bay to the United States.

Previously under former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), House Republicans did file a lawsuit against the Obama administration on several points but that litigation is still ongoing.
