ORLANDO, Fla. — It’s been more than 24 hours since Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an immigration bill, which includes no longer allowing Florida undocumented students to qualify for in-state tuition.

Valencia College says it's currently reviewing the bill and will comply with the law.

Seminole State College says the legislation will be effective as of July 1, which means DACA students will not be eligible for in-state tuition and will have to pay out-of-state tuition rates.

One DACA dreamer said she feels disheartened by that decision.

Britney, who would only share her first name out of concern, moved to Orlando from Mexico when she was four.

She’s majoring in marketing at UCF after getting her associate’s degree at Valencia College.

“Everyone deserved the opportunity to be able to pay for in-state tuition,” she said.

DACA, which stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, gives immigrants who came to the U.S. as children temporary protection from deportation, as well as the ability to work.

Britney went to Tallahassee two years ago to share her story.

“It's kind of sad that this time around, we didn't have the same opportunity, because everything was so quick, so we couldn't really put a face to the issue,” she said. “And I feel like if we would have had time and shared our story, we could have this prevented.”

Jared Nordlund is the Florida State Director for UnidosUS, the country’s largest Hispanic civil rights organization.

He works to remove barriers from the Hispanic community and says this decision will affect the youth workforce.

“If we want to have a 21st century workforce, we need to invest in all of our kids, not let them go,” he said. “Dreamers are being put in the crosshairs on this, and instead of trying to invest in them, the party has gone the other way with them.”

Britney says that, despite the decision, it’s still important to share dreamers’ stories.

“We studied here our whole life, like this is our home and we want to be able to contribute back,” she said.

Britney is graduating UCF on May 2.

In addition to Dreamers’ impact, the bill makes illegal immigration a state-level crime.

The proposal also mandates the death penalty for immigrants who commit capital offenses while in the country illegally.

According to the bill, Florida will pump millions into recruiting more police to help detain and deport undocumented immigrants.

The bill will also create the "State Board of Immigration Enforcement" that will help manage the 300 million for immigration operations in Florida.
