The Coast Guard is not getting enough support from the Biden administration as migrant flood into South Florida via the straits, coming from Cuba and Haiti, DeSantis says.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis joins 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' to discuss using the national guard to protect the borders and prevent a hostile foreign nation from buying up farmland in the U.S.responded to what he called the Biden administration's refusal to get a handle on the latest front of the migrant surge – the seas.
"He's not sending any more vessels; any more support. They don't have enough to intercept all the boats that are trying to come primarily from Cuba, but also from Haiti," DeSantis said, adding that, like Texas law enforcement at America's southern border, Florida authorities are forced to compensate for insufficient federal action.
"I think we've seen a decline in the number of vessels that are in the water. We have not had as many landings, actually very few lately," he said of the state's most recent efforts."So it is working as a deterrent, but it's our sense that they're going to start trying to change their tactics. So we're going to be watching and we're going to be responding in kind.
