State Immigration Legislation and Campus Wokeness Crackdown

DeSantis has employed individuals to tackle Wokeness and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Florida State Colleges, leading institutions of higher learning to potentially follow divergent paths. There is an evident correlation between progressive ideologies at colleges and tolerance towards intense protests. The stark differences in responses to protests and encampments might influence prospective students and parents in choosing suitable educational institutions. Alongside the ongoing border crisis, numerous red states are intensifying actions on illegal immigration by involving local law enforcement, contrasting the traditional federal responsibility. Since Biden took office, 7.2 million migrants have unlawfully crossed the southern border, surpassing the population of 36 states and constituting about 2% of the U.S. population. Moreover, March marked the 37th consecutive month with illegal crossings surpassing the highest under President Trump, illustrating a historic surge that the Biden administration has overseen while resisting labeling it as a crisis.
