‘The fear is very real’: Undocumented immigrants describe life in Florida’s shadows

If they have been here 20 years and have not made themselves US citizens by now. That is their responsibility. If they want to be legal citizens then do that but if they stay illegal they should leave and go back to Mexico

OMG–20 years and don't speak English. GO HOME!

Invaders should be afraid. They're criminals!

this family has lived in the U.S.A. for over 20 years collecting benefits that were for Americans and not illegals

the illegal imagrant woman can not visit her mother in Mexico that is her fault for being hear illegally

If you are undocumented and living in America then you are breaking the law plain and simple, Millions of people have enter the U.S. the right way so why can't these illegals do the same. this is a good law and I agree with DeSatis

I don't give a fuck if they immigrated illegally, they are here now and have been for most of their lives, living as US Americans. Mexico is our sibling in the Americas, there is no reason the border should be as hostile as it is now. Families should not be separated by bureaucracy. Viva Mexico, USA Forever.

And they still don't speak English. Have no pity for them. They are illegal and a drain in our economy. Any one that feels for them, take them home with you!

In-vaders should never feel safe.

Oh I am so sad……not. Paying taxes? Learning English? Apply for citizenship? WTF. And this F'ing Attorney and Media company want me to feel sorry for them? Boys are girls and girls are boys, punish the people that do things the right way, forgive loans, charge people with good credit more to pay for those that don't? Criminals get rewarded? We have laws. Enforce them.

The immigrants around them are working towards being legal, while they just cost through under the radar and we're supposed to feel sorry for them? Nope. Make an effort to become legal and maybe I'll pull for you.

Their being criminalized because they ARE criminals. Obama gave them until 2016 to become citizens as “dreamers,” and they just failed to do it clearly! 20 years and no effort to integrate into American society. Can’t even be bothered to learn the language. Get out.

Wow!!!!!! 20 years here and don't know English yet? Shame on you. You never cared about America then, you never wanted to be American. You sure do like our money though, don't ya!

20+ years in the country and has not done a damn thing to make it legal – sucks to be him. no empathy when my wife immigrated the right way.

Real easy just go back to your country, problem solved!

Honestly, I don't get it. I might want to retire in a foreign country but doing it illegally, skulking around the country, hiding from authorities, avoiding legalization requirements, what do you think is going to happen? And why is this DeSantis' fault? She can go back to see her parents and stay there. It's NOT that she "can't even go back to see her parents." The fact that the consequences are coming 20 years down the line, it's sad, but not inhumane.

Who's going to do all there work? Do people realise how much these migrants do in the economy? Geez

They ARE ILLEGALS

I mean, undocumented still means illegal right?

They are criminalizing undocumented immigrants? I'd say they ARE criminal ,because they are coming in illegally.

They are communist from Venezuela that elected Hugo Chavez, all of them want free everything Just like they had in Venezuela, don’t fall for their pretty face, the ones that migrated to South America have destroyed cities with crime and killings everyday , look at the news you fools. 😢😢😢 YouTube has news from every country and see what I’m talking about!!!

ITLE 8 ~ U.S. Code § 1324a ~ Unlawful employment of illegal immigrants. This law has been around forever.

I'm fearful myself but I'm fearful of the illegals that have been killing Floridians since crossing our open border. One recently murdered and chopped up a Door Dash Driver just doing his job, so I'm not feeling real sorry for illegals right now. Too bad they can't just follow the law and come legally. I pity Americans, not the illegals!

They should live in fear they broke our laws and should not be here stealing jobs from American citizens GoHome

No pity on them. Assimilate to US, learn the language and obey the law.

if you willingly live as second class citizens, you face the consequences of being second class citizens.

They've had 20 yrs to make it right
All their "fear" is because of their own actions & inaction. No pity here.

Here for over 20 years and still hasn't done anything to be a citizen and still needs a translator. Get out!!!
