Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced this week that he is sending hundreds upon hundreds
and hundreds of more police officers and National Guard members from the state of Florida down
to the Texas border because Ron DeSantis wants to show the nation that he is definitely a
Republican that hates immigrants.
So you should vote for him in 2024.
This is nothing more than a political stunt meant to gain the votes of the anti-immigration
crowd within the Republican party.
When Ron DeSantis finally announces he's running for president, which again is pretty much
expected at any point now, it is very clear DeSantis is running for president and this
is just one of those actions that he's only doing because he wants to run.
Here's what he is sending to the Texas border.
800 members of the Florida National Guard, 200 agents and teams of 40 from the Department
of Law Enforcement, 101 State Highway Patrol troopers 101.
Like you had to throw the extra one on there.
You didn't wanna make it an even number.
I guess 20 agents from the State Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Department
of Emergency Management, five fixed wing aircrafts, 17 unmanned drones and 10 waterborne vessels.
Why?
I know Republicans love to go out there and tell us that, oh my God, people are crossing
the border every second.
There's millions of 'em.
It's just hoards of immigrants coming across every second.
It's like a horrible game of, you know, tag and everybody's running around crazy, but
the people who've actually been to the border, which by the way does include Republican members
of Congress who've gone down there to find the immigrants, they've never seen 'em.
Don't you find that weird?
Don't you find it weird that when Ted Cruz has made his multiple little trips to the
border, even the ones at night trying to find the migrants crossing that they couldn't find
any of 'em.
That doesn't strike anybody else's odd.
Like you say, these hoards are coming across.
You've gone there with your night vision goggles and your flashlights to try to find them and
you couldn't find them.
It's almost like it's not actually real.
I know we have tons of immigrants coming across, I get that, but are they coming across illegally
as Republicans claim?
Because Republicans don't ever differentiate.
They just say, you know, X million amount of immigrants have come across, but if they
come across legally, there's nothing wrong with that and you don't make the distinction
cuz you don't say they're coming across illegally.
You just say they're coming across semantics at work, folk.
You always have to pay attention to the words that they use.
And if you don't wanna just rely on a couple videos of Republicans unable to locate the
migrants.
How about the words of the people that have been sent down to the southern border themselves?
I mean, Texas has been sending people, Florida sent people, North Dakota sent people.
I mean, what about all the people they've capture, captured?
Well, according to interviews with the law enforcement officials sent down to the southern
border, they've said their board as hell, there's nothing to do.
Instead of going out there and catching these migrant hoards that are running across the
border, they're sitting there playing games on their phone, worrying about what's happening
back home, worrying about losing their job.
If they're National Guard members that have been sent down there worried about their relationships,
unable to see their children, that's what's on their mind because they have nothing else
to do.
The people that live in the border towns have told reporters, we are allegedly getting all
these people, we don't see them again, I'm not saying that people are not coming across,
obviously they are, but is the problem anywhere near as bad as Republicans say it is, absolutely
not.
This is political theater and Ron DeSantis is engaging in it, wasting our tax dollars
from the state of Florida so that he can look better during his presidential campaign.
