Based on a few assumptions and googling some data, this probably applies to just a couple dozen people.

That's a small universe of cruelty.

And displays the manifest pettiness of the move.

The current situation is bad, and it is difficult to see how this makes it better.

All of politics sends a message, and messages are not always cruel. They can even be thoughtful. But this move is probably petty.

Punishing the children for the sins of their forbears is cruel, amirite?

What DeSantis does with it may well affect his shot at the presidency. It could certainly affect my opinion.

How committed are DeSantis and Florida's legislature about punishing the DACA folks?

What's next?
No DACA teacher?
No DACA EMT?
No DACA firefighter?
No DACA police officer?
No DACA doctor, nurse, public accountant, engineer, land surveyor, realtor ...
No DACA state-licensed trade person of any sort?
Fire all DACA people from state payroll?

[Mik]

And the root of all that is their nebulous status.
