The governor said his policies have made Florida a leader in job growth and that rising state revenue puts the state in a good position for drafting its next budget.
“Freedom works,” DeSantis said. “Our economy is the envy of the nation. And our state is well-prepared to guard against future economic turmoil.”
Meanwhile, he said he will ask the Legislature for money to send undocumented immigrants to other states.
“We cannot be a party to what is effectively a massive human smuggling operation run by the federal government. Companies who are facilitating the movement of illegal aliens from the southern border to Florida should be held accountable,” DeSantis said.
“When the feds dump people here in Florida illegally, the state can re-route them to states that have sanctuary policies,” he also said.
DeSantis also said he wants $1,000 bonuses for teachers and first responders and to save drivers $1 billion with a gas tax holiday.
As DeSantis made his way across the House floor to deliver the speech, he shook the hands of Florida’s two independently elected Republican Cabinet members, but snubbed Democratic Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried.
“As he walked in, there was no decorum in the recognition,” said Fried, who is seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge DeSantis.
