My question is, why didn’t he do this when he was a member of Congress, or during his first term as Governor? Neither office would have stopped him from doing this. The Republicans controlled the House of Representatives the whole time he was in office, and he’s had a 2-1 Republican majority in both Florida Houses since being elected. He was free to propose this at any time. As Governor, he could have organized this group with other Governors around the country. Why didn’t he? It makes him look like he’s pandering to impress people, which he is. He’s a day late, and a dollar short as far as I’m concerned.
The porous border has never ever been this bad. How many governors even care? At least he does...
