This unreliability of delivery will not only damage allied trust, it will also incentivize diversification away from U.S. suppliers.

Barely more than a decade ago, Florida proudly and with a bipartisan vote passed in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants who had been brought here as children and grew up in Florida. DeSantis’ Lieutenant Governor was actually a champion of the bill.
