Florida Gov. DeSantis toured part of the Texas border Sunday, as he prepared to roll out his new immigration policy proposals.
“I will finally be the president to bring the issue of our open southern border to a conclusion,” he said. “On day one, we declare a national emergency. We mobilize all the assets, including the military.”The Trump campaign, meanwhile, responded by listing what it says are more than 100 “major reforms” related to immigration that were instituted during his administration, including a high number of deportations and implementation of the pandemic-era border restriction known as Title 42.
DeSantis’ office announced this month that the Florida teams had encountered more than 5,800 undocumented migrants and helped the Texas Department of Public Safety with more than 190 arrests, in cases including felony charges connected to drugs, weapons and human smuggling. Kindred said the Florida personnel were supplementing Texas Highway Patrol troopers near the border and miles inland, searching for smugglers making their way through the brush.
