DeSantis has taken a tough stance on immigration and made that centerpiece of his campaign. As a state representative, Nuñez broke ranks with some members of her party on immigration, sponsoring a bill that allowed undocumented students to pay in-state tuition rates at colleges and universities. "Don't hold these children responsible for something they had no control over," she said in 2014, according to The Associated Press. The bill applied to graduates who attended a Florida high school for four consecutive years regardless of their immigration status.
