    “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”?

      Isn’t it actually a crime to deliberately hire undocumented immigrants in Florida. I’m sure it is.

      Why is this guy drawing attention to the fact that he committed a crime?

        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?
