Florida exposed one big lie the media told in its fight with Donald Trump

Dec 23, 2024

The media is pushing another big hoax against Donald Trump before he takes office. 

Journalists are trying to undermine his biggest agenda item. 

And Florida exposed one big lie the media told in its fight with Donald Trump. 

Florida disproves the lie the economy will collapse without illegal aliens

The pushback has already begun against President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of illegal aliens in the country. 

A false narrative is being pushed in the media by the open borders lobby that deporting illegal aliens will cripple the economy and cause prices to rise. 

They falsely claim that there are millions of jobs Americans will not do like work in agriculture, hospitality, and construction.

Crops will rot in the field and the farming will grind to a halt if Trump deports illegal aliens.

“That gargantuan shock will cost trillions of dollars in economic growth, eliminating hundreds of thousands of jobs held by U.S. natives,” George Mason University professor Michael Clemens told the New York Times. “It will quickly raise inflation, by reducing the capacity of U.S. firms to supply goods and services faster than it reduces demand.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis disproved the open lobby borders in the third largest state in the country. 

He signed Senate Bill 1718 in May 2023 which cracked down on the use of labor from illegal aliens. 

The bill required that every employer in Florida with over 25 employees participate in the federal government’s E-Verify system to check the immigration status of employees, banned local governments from issuing identification to illegal aliens, and businesses that employed illegal aliens could have their commercial licenses yanked. 

Florida faced the same doomsday predictions from the media about driving illegal aliens out of the workforce. 

The Sunshine State’s economy has not missed a beat since the law passed. 

Florida’s economy grew at 3.2% earlier this year, ahead of the national average.

The tourism and construction industries which were supposed to be decimated by the lack of illegal alien labor grew at a blistering pace. 

Ron DeSantis takes a victory lap over cracking down on illegal aliens 

DeSantis touted the success of his toughest in the-nation law by a state against illegal immigration. 

“FL’s best-in-the-nation legislation combatting illegal immigration generated the typical array of false media narratives,” DeSantis wrote on X. 

“That such narratives blew up shows that good policy pays dividends,” DeSantis continued. “The goal needs to be disfavoring illegal immigration rather than — as is common across the US — incentivizing more illegal immigration.”

Florida blows up the false narrative that illegal aliens are doing the jobs that no American will do. 

The law also resulted in savings for taxpayers and healthcare companies because they do not have to pick up the tab for the medical bills incurred by illegal aliens. 

“We made sure when you have people show up at the hospital that we’re asking about immigration status, and that’s caused the Medicaid expenditures to plummet by 50%,” DeSantis told Fox News host Sean Hannity in June. 

Federal law requires that anyone who shows up at a hospital be treated regardless of their immigration status. 

The claim that illegal aliens are essential to the economy is a myth by the Left to keep the borders open.
