One Republican Florida State Senator Has Proposed Ten Insane Laws
Greg Steube is a nightmare. Steube, a lawyer and military veteran, represented Sarasota in the Florida House of Representatives for six years before earning a promotion to the Florida Senate in 2016. With larger shoes to fill, Steube now appears to be swinging for the fences. He's chucked a remarkable number of bills against the wall in the hopes that some will stick — and nearly all of them are next-level bananas.
Steube's legislative interests appear to include making sure every American owns a gun, sponsoring racist and unconstitutional anti-immigrant bills, and clandestinely trying to cripple Florida's open-records laws. A week has not gone by this year without someone in the New Times office reading through the list of bills filed in the Florida Legislature and shouting, "That guy again?"
So because Steube proposed an anti-immigration bill this week that was blatantly unconstitutional (said bill would make it a felony to reenter Florida after you've been deported, even though the federal government sets immigration law), here's a running list of all the garbage Steube has dumped in the Legislature this year:
1. A bill to ensure that concealed-carry permit-holders can bring guns into airports, which Steube defended mere hours after the mass shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
