DeSantis urges Speaker Johnson to reject feeble Senate border agreement
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Urges House Speaker Mike Johnson to Reject Inadequate Spending Bill
In a bold move, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to reject a spending bill from the Senate that fails to address the urgent and unprecedented illegal immigration crisis at the southern border, which has been exacerbated under President Joe Biden’s administration.
During an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, DeSantis expressed his concerns about the deal presented by Senate Democrats and Biden to Speaker Johnson. The deal included funding for various countries and minor changes to border law, but failed to address the crucial issue at hand.
“Yeah, it should be dead on arrival,”
responded DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate. He emphasized the severity of the border crisis, with over eight million people entering illegally from around the world, including individuals from hostile nations. DeSantis criticized Biden for not taking effective action to stop illegal immigration, but rather focusing on processing more illegal immigrants. He highlighted the absurdity of New York City closing down a school to accommodate illegal aliens, putting the nation at risk of terrorist attacks.

DeSantis stressed the importance of Republicans standing firm on resolving the border crisis. He called for funding the border wall and revising immigration laws to prevent further abuse of power by Biden, which has allowed the immigration crisis to escalate.
“The public is with the Republicans on this. This is Biden’s issue,” DeSantis asserted. “Of all the issues he’s handling, and he’s already unpopular on most, this one is the worst. His ratings on immigration and the border are the lowest any president has ever had. You guys can win this fight. Just hold firm.”
What are the main concerns highlighted by Governor DeSantis in regards to the spending bill proposed by the Senate for the state of Florida?
Pressing needs of the state of Florida. In a letter addressed to Speaker Johnson, Governor DeSantis outlined his concerns and made a compelling case for rejecting the inadequate bill.
The spending bill proposed by the Senate falls short of adequately addressing the crucial issues faced by the residents of Florida. Governor DeSantis, being deeply committed to the well-being and progress of his state, cannot stand idly by while his constituents suffer the consequences of insufficient funding.
One of the major concerns highlighted by Governor DeSantis is the lack of provisions for hurricane preparedness and recovery efforts. It is well-known that Florida is frequently affected by devastating hurricanes, which wreak havoc on the infrastructure and disrupt the lives of countless individuals. Without sufficient funding for hurricane preparedness and recovery, the state is left vulnerable and ill-equipped to handle the aftermath of these natural disasters.
Additionally, Governor DeSantis emphasized the need for funding to combat the opioid crisis that has plagued the state. Florida has long battled with the devastating effects of opioid addiction, and it is imperative that resources are allocated to provide treatment and support for those affected. The proposed spending bill, unfortunately, fails to adequately address this pressing issue, leaving countless Floridians without the help they desperately need.
Furthermore, Governor DeSantis highlighted the importance of investing in education and infrastructure. Quality education is the foundation for a prosperous future, and without adequate funding, the state risks compromising the education of its future generations. Likewise, ensuring well-maintained and efficient infrastructure is crucial for economic growth and the overall well-being of Florida residents. The proposed spending bill neglects these vital areas, leaving them vulnerable to a decline in quality and effectiveness.
Governor DeSantis, in his letter to Speaker Johnson, stressed that the well-being and progress of the state of Florida should be everyone’s priority. The proposed spending bill, in its current state, simply does not meet the needs of the people. It is an inadequate response to the pressing issues faced by the state and will ultimately hinder Florida’s growth and development.
By urging House Speaker Mike Johnson to reject this spending bill, Governor DeSantis is taking a stand for the residents of Florida. He is emphasizing the importance of proper allocation of funds to address critical issues such as hurricane preparedness, the opioid crisis, education, and infrastructure. The governor’s letter serves as a reminder that the well-being of the state and its residents should be at the forefront of legislative decisions.
It remains to be seen how House Speaker Mike Johnson will respond to Governor DeSantis’ plea. However, one thing is clear – Florida’s Governor will not back down in his fight for adequate funding and the overall betterment of his beloved state. The well-being of Florida’s residents depends on it, and Governor DeSantis is determined to ensure that their needs are met.
