The Florida governor has signed Senate Bill 1718 into law. Some of the provisions are:

• ⁠Banning local governments from issuing identification cards for people who can’t prove citizenship.

• ⁠Requiring hospitals that accept Medicaid to include a question on intake forms about the patient’s citizenship status.

• ⁠Banning undocumented law school graduates from being admitted to the Florida bar.

• ⁠Increasing penalties for human trafficking-related offenses.

• ⁠Beefing up the required use of E-Verify, a federal database employers can use to check a worker’s employment eligibility.

Many businesses and workers are against this law. At the same time, the US is a democracy based on the rule of law.

What are the pros and cons of implementing these provisions on a federal level to combat the effects of illegal immigration?

And what is the effectiveness of past measures, or present measures, in other states/countries with similar provisions, meant to combat the effects of illegal immigration and/or discourage illegal immigration altogether (except of course to make said illegal immigration legal)?
