“I’m very proud of Gov. DeSantis and everything he’s done. I really am,’’ said Gonzmart, a lifelong Republican. “[...] But my concern is the governor putting in a law that says those who have an expired driver’s license cannot renew it because they’re no longer legal. They cannot work. Their papers are no longer legal.”
It's not that "they're no longer legal". They were never legal. You just thought it didn't matter.
Also, what happened to all that wailing about how we need to get rid of all the "illegal immigrants" because "they took our jobs"?
Seems like he's already been fined $500,000, so probably not worried about the legal consequences anymore.
I am pretty sure there's also IRS issues and possibly other federal law implications, but who are we to keep him from slamming his body parts in doors?
No, they don't. We had Brexit. It was a smörgåsbord of stupid like that.
"We want freedom of movement cancelled so EU folks can't come in here, "followed by "What do you mean we don't have freedom of movement and can't just live in Spain?"
"All immigrants gone!" followed by "why are there no cheap immigrants anymore for working in the field and drive trucks?"
"Close the borders!" and "Why is there suddenly this long line and why do we need custom checks and passports?"
"After we made it more difficult for foreigners to come here, we have less tourists. Somebody do something!"
"When we said you can't fish here, we meant we can still fish over there."
"Yeah, I know we cancelled all cooperation but we really would like the subsidies to continue."
You can keep going. There were enough predictions that this was exactly what would happen, it was ignored in emotional flurry, ideologies and name calling. Of course there is a lot of "why didn't anyone warn us?" afterwards. I conclude they're not really thinking, just mostly reacting emotionally and going along with the peer group who has a very high "F U I got mine" content.
The most comical thing about "reasons" for Brexit was to get rid of those "pesky brown people". Then Brexit uninvited Europeans, and the UK got more "brown people" out of the commonwealth to fill up the gaps.
