While visiting the US-Mexico border, Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis released his border security plan which calls for an end of birthright citizenship and for him to be able to send the US military into Mexico if necessary.
“Joe Biden has failed to meet the most basic responsibility of ensuring the territorial integrity of our country,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said as his plan was unveiled in Texas.
“Biden’s gross dereliction of duty has left the southern border in shambles.”
The plan, which mirrors many immigration talking points laid out by other Republicans, including GOP rival Donald Trump, also promised to finish the border wall — which no US president has been able to do.
In a plan of action called “No excuses: stop the invasion,” DeSantis laid out what he hopes to accomplish if he were to become president, including ending the legal right of all children born on US soil to become citizens under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
In a DeSantis presidency, children of illegal immigrants would not automatically qualify as Americans.
“Dangling the prize of citizenship to the future offspring of illegal immigrants is a major driver of illegal migration,” the plan reads. *** “It is also inconsistent with the original understanding of 14th Amendment, and DeSantis will force the courts and Congress to finally address this failed policy.” *** “If the Mexican government drags its feet, DeSantis reserves the right to operate across the border to secure our territory from Mexican cartel activities,” the document says. ***

My issue is our Military “operating in Mexico” is a straight in your face declaration of war.
Which, 10 years ago, we’d smash Mexico’s face in. Now a days i’m not sure.
I’d like one of these guys to give me real details on how he’d get it done.

People in Hell would like a glass of water too, but like them you’re asking for something you cannot have. Why? Because NO candidate knows the level of support or opposition any proposed plan will have.
Fairy dust.
Fanatics are unable to move their attention from their obsession.
It makes them quite boring to the people who do not share their obsession.
And leaves normal people filled with an amused distain for the object of their obsession.
People are reading their own preconceptions into it.
If you need to ask why we should re-elect Donald Trump read over this list a few times...

DO NOT BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD OF THESE “PROMISES”. DESANTIS IS BACKED BY PAUL RYAN, JEB BUSH, KARL ROVE, GEORGE BUSH, JOHN SUNUNU ET AL. REMEMBER THE PROMISES RYAN MADE IF HE MADE SPEAKER? DID NOT KEEP ANY OF THE LEGITIMATE CONSERVATIVE ONES. THESE DEEP STATE ESTABLISHMENT RINOS SUPPORT DESANTIS FOR A REASON-THEY CAN CONTROL HIM AND HE WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE FOR YOUR VOTE AND STAB US IN THE BACK JUST LIKE EVERY NAMED INDIVIDUAL IN THIS THREAD HAS IN THE PAST!!!!
The detail I don't hear from Trump or any other candidate is HOW (WHAT ARE THE MEANS) our government will use to investigate and identify illegal aliens? Some detail is given about building a wall and stopping further entry at the border - but no detail as to how the government finds and identifies the 20 million already here. Even in Trump's deportation speech, my sense was that his emphasis was to remove the violent illegals but again, there was no detail on HOW to find the 20 million already here.
If Trump, through executive order, gave a number of agencies authority to deport all illegal aliens - my question is HOW do they go about identifying/finding them? This is a detail no one seems willing to address.
I would have no problem with us invading Mexico, creating a DMZ, destroying all cartels and establishing U.S. military rule similar to our presence in Japan after WW2.
There is no question about willing to address. It is about addressing the issues in orderly fashion. It would be foolish to telephone the details and give time to think of loop holes.
The laws on the books can be brought to bear. The ending of birth rite citizenship for children of noncitizens would have many self deport as would a crackdown on hiring of illegals, and the ending of federal support for programs giving aid to illegals. The real key is to make the US less friendly for illegals such that self deportation becomes a river. President Trump has stated that he will be pursuing that course as well as targeted removals.
I really don’t understand what you are looking to hear. We cannot stop everyone that appears to be of foreign heritage on the street & ask for papers. We do not want to live in that kind of society. Drying up social programs, enforcing hiring legal citizens, and stopping Government funds being used to support illegals medical care, schooling, housing & food will winnow the number exponentially.
You would spend your time more wisely if you held a conversation with a coop full of chickens rather than this TDS bunch on FR.
Build the wall!
deeSantis is funny.
did he ever tell reporters how to pronounce his name?
trump’s difficulty was that POS’s McCommell and Ryan wouldn’t bringup the wall for funding and after trump diverted military funding , that was tied up in court for a long time.At least he got some wall built.
DeeSantis is a RINO and they not going to let him even if he wanted which is doubtful .....
i lost track after a couple of flip flops ...Does anyone know DeSantis current position on ukraine???
LOL. You are so right.
It’s not for the TDS bunch; its for other readers, wandering in who might believe the misinformation.
Two groups of thought here.
One, giving help to those who wander in with naivete and need guidance on whom to believe,
Then there is the thought that if they are wandering around anywhere on this forum they likely have sufficient intellect to spot a shill without the jay (no offense/pun intended) sounding the alarm.
So don’t feed the trolls.
