FILE - In this April 24, 2014, file photo, Rep. Dane Eagle, R-Cape Coral, listens to debate on the floor of the House of Representatives, in Tallahassee, Fla. Republican lawmakers have so far shown unwavering support for stricter policies on immigration, even when those opposing the measures say the language opens up local municipalities to "frivolous litigation" for going against federal court rulings and in some cases the U.S. Constitution. Eagle sees his bill on sentencing as a back-up plan in case federal authorities fail in their mission to deport people who commit crimes while in the country illegally. "The bill keeps them locked up longer so they are not committing crimes and perhaps when the federal government does decide to step up, they will know where they are," Eagles said.
