Florida Still a Holdout for Accepting Refugees in 2020

WPB Immigration Lawyers

WPB Immigration Lawyers

Florida is one of only eight states that have not as yet agreed to accept refugees in 2020. Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has not yet planned on whether the state will be willing to take in refugees from humanitarian crises around the world. This has put many immigrant assistance and resettlement agencies in danger of losing federal funding set aside for these activities. Some of these organizations work with immigrants already in our area to provide job training, medical assistance and English-language courses. The loss of funding could affect these services, leaving immigrants without the help they need in West Palm Beach and the surrounding communities.

Devastating Results for Local Agencies

Although Governor DeSantis officially has until June 1, 2020, to make a decision regarding refugee resettlement, many local immigrant assistance companies may have to close their doors if they do not qualify for federal funding by January 21 of this year. This could lead to increased difficulties for immigrants who live and work in our area. By consulting with a West Palm Beach immigration lawyer, these individuals may be able to correct issues with their legal status to ensure the best possible future for themselves and their family.
