Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is vowing to take strong actions against undocumented immigrants who enter the country during the Biden administration, stating that he plans to deport them all. He emphasized that this plan is not limited to only those who entered during Biden's term, but will include all undocumented immigrants.
Governor DeSantis expressed concerns about the practicality and effects of allowing large numbers of undocumented immigrants into the United States. He cited an example where a school in New York City had to be closed due to the use of its premises to house illegal aliens. He argued that such situations prioritize the needs of illegal immigrants over those of American citizens, and further contributed to the housing and construction issues already facing the country.
DeSantis also highlighted the diversity of the undocumented immigrant population, noting that they come from over 100 different countries, including China, Middle Eastern countries, and even Russia. He expressed concern over the influx of military-age males and perceived security risks associated with not vetting those entering the country.
When questioned about the tactic of rounding up illegal immigrants and shipping them to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, DeSantis defended the move as necessary to draw attention to the border issue. He argued that prior to this action, the border was not receiving the scrutiny it required. The media's reaction to the incident, he claimed, helped elevate the discussion surrounding border security.
DeSantis staunchly opposes sanctuary jurisdictions and reiterated his position that no state or city should be granted sanctuary status. He cited an example from California where a criminal alien with multiple deportations and a significant criminal record was released by local authorities, resulting in the murder of a mother. He emphasized the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities to prevent such occurrences.
Governor DeSantis believes that the issue of illegal immigration has taken center stage and is committed to finding a solution. He expressed his willingness to work with anyone willing to address the problem comprehensively and without compromising the rule of law.
It is important to note that these statements reflect Governor DeSantis' perspective and position on the issue and do not represent the views of all stakeholders involved in the immigration debate.
