EAGLE PASS, Texas — 2024 Republican presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) debuted an extensive plan to regain control of the U.S.-Mexico border and vowed to go beyond anything that former President Donald Trump had done.
DeSantis announced a comprehensive strategy titled"No Excuses," comprised of four pillars: Stop the invasion, build the wall, hold cartels accountable, and work with states to enforce the law."What we're saying is, no excuses on this — get the job done. Make it happen. We want results. We don't want hollow rhetoric. We don't want empty promises," DeSantis said before roughly 150 attendees.
Trump left the White House having failed to keep one of his biggest campaign promises: to build 1,000 miles of border wall for $4 billion and get Mexico to pay for it. Third, DeSantis will declare Mexican drug cartels to be transnational criminal organizations and authorize sanctions on all syndicates involved in the smuggling of people, drugs, and guns.
Sanctuary zones would face penalties for refusing to cooperate with federal immigration laws and lose hundreds of millions of dollars in funding.
