Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recounted his Fish and Wildlife officers interdicting a Haitian-piloted boat that was allegedly stocked with drugs and guns on 'Hannity.'
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis told Fox News on Friday that his state agencies are prepared for any potential influx of Haitian migrants fleeing the chaos gripping the Caribbean nation. DeSantis told 'Hannity' that, in a separate case, a boat carrying 25 Haitian nationals, firearms, 'night-vision gear' and drugs was interdicted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Those onboard were reportedly transferred to the U.S.
don't expect, necessarily, to get the help that I think we're entitled to, and what we found over the last several years is the Coast Guard — they do a good job. They're just way under-resource. Biden will not provide the number of vessels that they need to interdict all the ships that come,' DeSantis said. DeSantis said his state agencies have halted 660 vessels, largely from Caribbean nations, as well as 13,580 illegal aliens.
think part of that is because people know if you take that journey, you're going to get stopped and you're going to end up back where you started, so it's not worth it.' DeSantis also surmised part of the reason there has not been a mass maritime ingress is because the U.S. border with Mexico is so porous under President Biden's auspices, it is much easier to enter the United States by land, even for people from island nations.
