In a recent press briefing, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) voiced strong criticism against the influx of border-crossers entering the United States. The governor addressed various issues related to border security, emphasizing the need for a robust response to fortify the nation's borders.

Governor DeSantis highlighted Florida's proactive role in supporting border security efforts, particularly in Texas. The state has been at the forefront of providing assistance since 2021, deploying resources such as the Florida Highway Patrol, National Guard, Florida Fish and Wildlife, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The continuous presence of these entities on the ground underscores Florida's commitment to aiding border states in addressing the complex challenges they face.

Acknowledging the ongoing situation, Governor DeSantis announced additional measures to fortify the southern border. Florida authorized the deployment of the National Guard and the Florida State Guard to contribute to border security efforts. This initiative reaffirms Florida's dedication to national security and emphasizes the importance of maintaining strong borders.

Governor DeSantis emphasized the significance of having a secure border for the integrity of the nation. He asserted that establishing and maintaining effective border control is crucial for a country's identity and sovereignty. The governor stated that a country without secure borders is not truly a country, underscoring the need for decisive action to establish order.

Expressing concerns about the federal government's approach, Governor DeSantis criticized the Biden administration's handling of border security. He noted that President Biden could take immediate action without the need for additional legislation. However, the governor expressed dissatisfaction with the administration's response, describing it as a potential disaster. He criticized Washington for prioritizing other interests over the welfare of the American people.

Governor DeSantis raised alarms about the reported threats to remove barricades erected by Texas to control illegal border crossings. He pointed out that such actions would only encourage more people to enter the country illegally. The governor condemned the sense of entitlement displayed by some illegal immigrants and emphasized that entering the United States illegally is not a right.

Asserting the need for a serious approach to border security, Governor DeSantis advocated for the immediate deportation of those who enter the country illegally. He argued that enforcing the rule of law requires a firm stance against illegal immigration. Expressing doubt about the effectiveness of proposed legislation in solving the problem, Governor DeSantis cautioned that it might further exacerbate existing challenges.

In conclusion, Governor Ron DeSantis used the press briefing to strongly condemn the actions of border-crossers and criticize the federal government's response to border security. His remarks underscored Florida's commitment to supporting border states and emphasized the critical role of secure borders in preserving the nation's identity and sovereignty.
