NextImg:WATCH: Gov DeSantis asked if he’d build the wall and use the military to go after drug cartels

Governor DeSantis was asked today if he’d build the wall and use the military to go after the drug cartels at the border.

Here’s what he said:

“Yes and Yes. I’ve said publicly – you know I’ve always supported the wall just because it’s such a big border that you can have border patrol but you’ll never be able to have enough. Cartels will direct people where there’s not surveillance. And so you have to have that. I think it’s important and what I’ve told people publicly is if Joe Biden wants to get serious about that, give me a call.

We had a situation where we had a hurricane come through southwest Florida, knocked out a bridge going to Pine Island, severed the causeway to Sanibel in three different places. They were not state bridges, but locals came to me and said can you help us because we’re stranded and we can’t wait six months. So I got my guys together and said listen, we’re going to take this over, no bureaucracy, not red tape, no excuses. I want those bridges operating as quickly as possible. So instead of six months, we did Pine Island in three days. And instead of six months we did Sanibel in three weeks.

And I raise that only because I’m willing to send our Florida guys down to the border and get them building the wall. And they will do it very quickly. So just let me know, we’ll do it.

We also have to understand that these cartels are running the show. They run the government basically down there, it’s totally corrupt. But they are running people into our country and they are running massive amounts of fentanyl into our country. It’s killing tens of thousands of Americans. It’s killing people in Florida communities.

I love how the media will say like oh it’s a border, why do you care about it? You’re not at the southern border. Reality is this fentanyl gets all over the country and you have families that are losing kids, and what they’ll do is they’ll put the fentanyl in something that maybe the kids shouldn’t be doing but it’s normally not fatal. But if it’s laced with enough fentanyl that could be lights out. That’s it.

And so it’s something that’s really significant and we know the cartels are doing it. So the idea that we just somehow absorb this with impunity without doing anything in response…the idea that we could just let this happen I think is wrong.”

I love this. DeSantis is unafraid to do what is necessary to secure the border and stop the flow of illegal drugs by the drug cartels.

This is why he needs to be president. But whether he steps into the ring remains to be seen.
