It turns out that when you have an effective executive leader who enforces law and order, it actually works in making sure that rules are followed in society.

For example, consider that illegal aliens are already “self-deporting” themselves out of Florida after Governor and 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R) enacted one of the toughest immigration laws in the entire country.

“We’re fleeing the place we fled to,” one illegal alien told Axios. “I remember when my mother sat me down and said, ‘things are bad; we have to leave,’ and I had to tell her that same thing.”

The law requires a number of new measures such as requiring that employers to use E-Verify to check the employment eligibility of employees, and fines employers who fail to use E-Verify $1,000 per day. At the same time, it suspends the licenses of any employer who knowingly employs illegal aliens, and makes using a fake ID to gain employment a felony. Similarly, it bars local governments and non-governmental organizations from issuing identification cards to illegal immigrants.

“I am leaving everything behind, everything that I worked for, having already started from scratch 16 years ago,” the illegal alien, who was brought as a child, also told Axios.

In response to the legislation, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) issued a travel advisory, saying that Florida is now “hostile and dangerous.”

“Laws like this, that do nothing more than harass immigrants, are bad for a state’s economy,” Lydia Guzmán, a staffer who leads LULAC’s immigration committee, told CNN.

Well, that’s not quite true. This law makes sure that illegal aliens who should not be in the country aren’t. It also ensures that employers who take advantage of cheap labor  — instead of hiring Americans are punished.

The law hasn’t even gone into effect yet, but CBS News reported that certain organizations are already mobilizing to help illegals leave the state.

Of course, law is only as strong as it is enforced. Perhaps these illegal aliens know that DeSantis’ track record of enforcing law and order — such as removing a Soros-backed prosecutor who was not doing his job as required —  indicates that Florida won’t be afraid to carry out its authority to the fullest extent of this new law.

Of course, a governor shouldn’t even have to have a law like this in the first place. It’s the federal government’s duty to protect American borders and deport illegal aliens. But when the president abdicates that responsibility, states must step up and do that job to protect American citizens.

Actress and television talk show host Drew Barrymore was quick to respond when a fan broke down in tears during a recent taping of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” crossing the set to comfort the woman and demanding to know who had made her cry.

Barrymore spent a few moments talking to the woman, who said she was just a huge fan and was feeling a little overwhelmed — and afterward, the show’s official Instagram account shared video of the exchange on Thursday.

WATCH:

The actress was seated on set with her guests when she noticed that a woman in the audience was crying. Barrymore got to her feet, asking, “Are you okay? Did anything happen? Whose a** do I have to kick?”

The audience laughed as Barrymore crossed the set to talk to the woman, who waved her hands to fan herself as she got closer. “She loves you so much,” the woman’s friend explained.

“Oh! Oh, God, thank God it’s nothing bad,” Barrymore said as the woman reassured her that she was okay. “Did you see me coming up here? I was like, tell me where they are! Because I will take them down, who made you cry?”

The audience continued to laugh as the woman regained her composure, explaining that Barrymore had been her “childhood idol,” but that she hadn’t wanted to be “that person,” the one who got emotional during the taping — and Barrymore interrupted.

“Oh, screw that, be that person!” she said, and she walked around the barrier and into the audience seating area to give the woman, who said her name was Olivia, a hug.

“I don’t know why I have the urge to do this,” Barrymore joked, sitting on the woman’s lap and hugging her again. “This is such an honor for me to meet you, I’m sorry, I have dumpling breath.”

Getting up to go back to taping, Barrymore added, “It’s so funny that you would say that you don’t want to cry here, I cry here all the time.”
