Governor Ron DeSantis is poised to be the first Republican to win Miami-Dade County, FL in decades, which includes a heavy Hispanic-voting presence.
During an appearance on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” DeSantis discussed this potential outcome, saying that his success there was proof you did not need to “move left” on borders and amnesty to win the Hispanic vote.
“So I once saw Frank Luntz, who is a famous Republican pollster, tell Republican members of Congress that if they wanted to win Hispanic votes, they had to move left,” host Tucker Carlson said. “You’re saying you’ve won those votes by moving right.”
Absolutely, and including on immigration,” DeSantis replied. “My first year, we banned sanctuary cities, and news media thought that that would be not approved down here. And yet, Hispanic voters in Florida had the highest approval rating for our policy to ban sanctuary cities. We did the transport to Martha’s Vineyard, and people thought that this was going to be so bad, and yet, Hispanic voters backed me on doing that because they understand the border is out of control.”

Whole thing is quite a burn on Jeb.
Why do people keep saying this? It’s been disproven.
We need some operation to stop cartels moving drugs from China into the USA through Mexico. Even a border wall is porous if small parcels can get in and the price is right.
Legal immigrants hate illegals….
Worked on high rise construction in Denver…if the Mexicans new we hired an illegal….he was gone the next payday….
The word ‘that’ being missing from the headline confuses the intended meaning.
now we know why Trump beat on him... I cannot believe what I just read...
You didn’t read it at all based on your response.
hmmmm my bad... I indeed mis read... scuse me while I go wash my face.
The GOPe is evil.
You probably mis-read it. DeSantis is saying the GOP Establishment is dead wrong in their belief that open borders are needed to win the hispanic vote, NOT that he believes that open open borders are needed. He believes the opposite of the Establishment, and in closed borders.
Just use frickin common sense.
actually you are right but not for the reason you think.
Trump is beating up on him again because Desantis is the real deal and a real threat.
Jeb killed Terri Schaivo. That’s ALL anyone needs to know about that POS!
Dems are pooping their drawers as they realize Hispanics are way more conservative than they once thought.
Yeah, I had to do a double take when I first saw the headline, LOL!
I dont know about that... I think the biggest threat is if he leaves florida that state will get takin over by the commies.
Hispanic Americans DO NOT like Open Borders!!
Trump won historic numbers, with hispanics, in 2016....and, in 2020...even more!
Yep. Breitbart muddled the headline to make it look like DeSantis is pro-open borders and pro-amnesty.
He's most certainly not.
