DeSantis pledges to tackle illegal and legal migration to U.S.
Republican Candidate Ron DeSantis Vows to Tackle Immigration
In a recent op-ed published in USA Today, Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis outlined his plan to strengthen the American economy and address the issue of immigration. As governor of Florida, DeSantis has already taken significant steps to combat illegal immigration, signing into law the toughest crackdown on illegal immigration in the country.
“I will create a fair labor market by securing the border, enforcing our laws, eliminating chain migration and the diversity visa lottery, and limiting low-skill immigration,” DeSantis wrote.
DeSantis has made immigration and border security a top priority on his campaign trail. He has pledged to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S., build a border wall, dismantle Mexican cartels, and ensure that states are cooperating with federal immigration officials.
His tough stance on immigration aligns closely with former President Donald Trump, who remains the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. DeSantis’ policies have garnered support from many Republican candidates, who share his commitment to securing the border and enforcing immigration laws.
However, there is one notable exception among the candidates. Vivek Ramaswamy has called for increasing the number of skilled migrants entering the U.S. each year, believing it to be crucial for economic growth. Ramaswamy also advocates for re-entering the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a move that Trump opposed due to its perceived negative impact on American workers.
“‘Merit-based immigration’ refers mostly to the inflow of foreign graduates into the well-paid white-collar careers needed by American graduates,” according to Breitbart News. “Many polls show that Americans — especially GOP voters — are increasingly outspoken against both legal immigration and illegal migration that is used to shift vast wealth from middle-class families to business leaders and coastal investors.”
These populist attitudes, which prioritize the economic well-being of American workers, played a significant role in Trump’s victory in the 2016 election. They reflect a growing sentiment among GOP voters who are concerned about the impact of immigration on job opportunities and income inequality.
As the race for the Republican nomination heats up, immigration will undoubtedly remain a key issue. DeSantis’ strong stance on securing the border and enforcing immigration laws has resonated with many voters, positioning him as a leading candidate in the field.
