At a press briefing in Jacksonville, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) fumed against President Biden's and Democrats' immigration policies.

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida recently spoke out against President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party's immigration policies during a press briefing. He expressed concerns about the increasing number of illegal immigrants entering the country, stating that over five million illegal aliens had been allowed into the US in just two years. Governor DeSantis believes that these policies are undermining the rule of law and posing a significant threat to national security.

One of the primary issues that Governor DeSantis discussed during the briefing was the reinstatement of the "Remain in Mexico" policy. He argued that this policy needed to be reinstated, especially after the Biden administration repealed it. The governor also mentioned that the administration had limited the policy to Venezuelans and other groups in response to the Martha's Vineyard case. He believes that this policy is critical to ensuring that illegal immigrants are not able to enter the US and then disappear into the country, posing a significant threat to national security.

Governor DeSantis also criticized the Biden Administration's Catch and Release policy, which grants parole to those who claim asylum at the border. He argued that this policy nullifies existing law and allows economic migrants to enter the country illegally. The governor highlighted that the administration's policies are sending the wrong message to people, encouraging them to cross the Southern border illegally and claim asylum. He believes that the US needs to send a clear message that it will not tolerate illegal immigration and that people must follow the proper procedures to enter the country legally.

The governor also spoke about the issue of e-verify, a system that allows employers to verify an employee's eligibility to work in the US. Governor DeSantis highlighted that he had faced significant pushback from the business and agriculture communities when he tried to implement this system during his first year in office. He believes that enforcing immigration laws is essential to maintaining the rule of law in the country and that the Democratic Party's ideology of open borders is insane. The governor emphasized that people need to follow the proper procedures to enter the country legally, and those who do not follow the law must face the consequences.

Governor DeSantis concluded by emphasizing the need to get immigration right and ensure that those who come to Florida are American citizens or at least here lawfully. He highlighted that Florida is a popular destination for people who want to move from other states for the right reasons. The governor emphasized that while he cannot prevent people from coming to Florida, he wants to ensure that they do so legally. The governor highlighted that this is not about politics but rather about ensuring the safety and security of all Americans.

In conclusion, Governor DeSantis's comments on immigration highlight the ongoing debate over immigration policies in the US. While some believe that the US should have open borders, others argue that enforcing immigration laws is essential to maintaining the rule of law and national security. Governor DeSantis believes that the US needs to send a clear message to people that they must follow the proper procedures to enter the country legally. With immigration continuing to be a hot-button issue in the US, it remains to be seen how the Biden administration will address the concerns raised by Governor DeSantis and others who share his views.
