Ron DeSantis, governor of the Sunshine State, said that if he becomes President of the United States, he will implement a new set of rules of engagement to deter Mexican cartels from attempting to smuggle drugs across the southern border.
According to the Daily Wire, the Republican Presidential hopeful said, If you are in the cartels cutting through our fence to bring drugs in thats going to be the last thing you do. Were going to leave you STONE COLD DEAD.
During a Thursday evening Fox News interview, Jessee Watters asked DeSantis about his recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border while in Texas and whether it had changed his perspective on immigration.
It confirmed what I had known, DeSantis replied. And its worse than you think when you actually get down there. And the impunity with which the cartels operate. I was literally in a place in Arizona; there is a piece of wall that just kind of stops. So the guy just goes on the other side of where the wall ends, looks out, and he just motions for people to go. Theres no border patrol to be found; theyre in town processing people. And so theyre bringing product into our country.
DeSantis continued, expressing concern about the violence associated with cartels, saying, Theyre killing a lot of people. So one of the things that I saw the places where there were barriers, the cartels will actually cut through the steel beams, and theyll smuggle in backpacks with a lot of drugs. So what I said is, wait a minute, we defend the territory of our own country. Well have military and everyone down there. If you are in the cartels cutting through our fence to bring drugs in, thats going to be the last thing you do because were going to leave you stone-cold dead. We are having adequate rules of engagement.
If DeSantis becomes President, Mexican drug cartels better think twice before continuing business as usual.
