'Florida is a law and order state, and we won't turn a blind eye to the dangers of Biden's border crisis,' DeSantis said on Thursday.
Speaking to reporters, DeSantis was asked about his new legislative proposal and if it was planned in Florida's last legislative session.
"We had a lot on the agenda in the last legislative session, as you guys know," he said."We got done, more than probably we've ever done, but I also didn't see the great prospects of success on some of these issues with that legislative configuration. Well, now we have super majorities in the legislature.
"I think the problem that voters have, and I, because I'm a voter, too, some of these Republicans, and you see it a lot in Washington, too, they campaigned saying they're going to do all these things, but then when they get up there, they don't want to do it."
