Gov. Ron DeSantis' planned legislative proposal to tackle illegal immigration in Florida could be most transformative state-led plan ever, a Florida state senator told Fox News.

The overhaul will increase penalties for human smuggling and falsifying documents and requires state employers to confirm their employees' legal status. It also includes proposals on health care spending, voting and out-of-state IDs.

"I believe that this is going to be the largest, most comprehensive, landmark state-led anti-illegal immigration bill ever passed in the United States," Florida state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, who is working on the proposal with DeSantis, told Fox News. "It should be the blueprint for other states to pass so we can all push back as states on the federal government, the Biden administration, Secretary Mayorkas and their open border policies."

DeSantis, while announcing the immigration plan, said Florida "won’t turn a blind eye to the dangers of Biden’s border crisis" and that his administration would "do everything in our power to protect the people of Florida from what's going on at the border and the border crisis."
