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. ***

“Make it Rand the VP with a promise to quit once his policies are in place and acted on.”
I’m cool with that, Rand is more in line with Trump anyway. They would do well together.
No, he is going to get legislation to do things, use the military, etc. Whereas Trump talked and talked and used fleeting EOs. Big difference.
Trump didn’t do any of these things. Amd U.S. troops shouldn’t be operating in Mexico. We’ve been down that road before, it doesn’t work.
It's all a fantasy. No Republican will ever be elected President ever again...and that's the way the GOP likes it.
What Trump did was to try EOs instead of negotiating with Congress. He failed.
“This.” Does nothing to remove the 20 million already here.
President Wilson sent General Pershing into Mexico to catch Pancho Villa. It didn’t work.

It seems weird but this certainly is a scenario where more than one cook won’t spoil the broth. Trump won’t have 8 consecutive years, so let’s hope he brings in a superstar, even a rival as long as 100% AMERICA FIRST.
“The US military should be used to annihilate the drug cartels and those in the Mexican police and government who support them. If necessary, we should make the US southern border one with Guatemala-Belize-United States border.”
A few tomahawk cruise missiles landing in the cartel leader’s compounds would send a message. Blow up their cars and yachts. Arrest their family and kids. Make the stress not worth the business.
Offer dead or alive bounty’s on gang members
Sending the military into Mexico is Vivek’s idea. Stealing from both Trump and Vivek.
Rand talks a lot, and makes the papers, but I will never forgive him for changing his mind on January 6th, to vote to accept Biden's electors. He was all over the news shows after the Republican National Convention in the summer of 2020, talking about how he and his wife were accosted by BLM members on the streets of Washington, D.C. Then on January 6th, he believed the trash the media was spewing about the people who entered the Capitol Building that day, and let it sway his position, and chose not to follow through on his original plan to reject Biden's electors. Marsha Blackburn was another one. I have no respect for them and the others who sanctioned unlimited voter fraud on January 6th.
I was agreeing with your sentiment. I still do but I am unable at my age to do the removal for you. Or perhaps you have an idea because short of bringing back Dwight Eisenhower none of these people will do what is needed and throw out illegals.
Trump has spoken to that. He is going to reassign from other agencies to focus on massive deportation.
Don't elect an elitist who has never held an honest job to the White House. It does not end well.
That’s a joke. A president can’t get legislation. DeSantis will not have any leverage to advance his priorities with Congress and his wheel deal capabilities have not been impressive.
Where were you when Trump was negotiating with Congress day & night? They blew him off because they are Globalist RINO. That has not changed.
“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.”
DeSwamp is being supported by all the GOPe in Congress who hamstrung Trump’s efforts to build the wall. (Trump had to declare a National Emergency to get funding since Paul Ryno and co wouldn’t fund it)
But we are supposed to take DeSwamp’s promises seriously, when he is supported by all these people.
Wow. So he read Trumps policy plan. Or someone read it to him, slowly.
Right...it’s simply a policy...We didn’t need it for 200 years...because we had a good and respected immigration policy...which we enforced.
