✅ How DeSantis & Conservatives Forced Change – The grassroots movement that pushed lawmakers to fix the bill, remove the worst provisions, and ensure real enforcement.

✅ Who Won & Who Lost in This Fight – DeSantis and Florida conservatives secured 95% of what they originally set out to do, while the GOP establishment lost control of the process.

✅ The Liars Trying to Rewrite History – Randy Fine and other political opportunists are pretending this was their idea all along, despite pushing a weak, ineffective bill just weeks ago.

✅ The Hidden Landmines Still in the Bill – The State Board of Immigration Enforcement still exists, and its unanimous vote rule could be used to stall enforcement in the future—unless conservatives stay vigilant.

✅ The E-Verify Problem & How It Can Be Sabotaged – Why lack of enforcement funding and identity fraud loopholes could still allow businesses to hire illegal workers, and how we stop it.

✅ The Fight Ahead: What Needs to Happen Next – If this bill is going to work, we need to push for further reforms, ensure bureaucrats don’t stall enforcement, and stay engaged to keep politicians accountable.
