Ron\u200d DeSantis: Economy and \u2062Border Crisis Top Concerns for Voters<\/h2>\n<p>With less than one month until the Jan. 15 Iowa \u200ccaucuses, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) emphasized that voters are deeply worried about the state of \u200cthe economy\u200b and the ongoing border crisis. During an appearance on Hannity, DeSantis spoke with Fox News&#8217;s Kayleigh McEnany, revealing\u200d that while the \u2064economy used to be the primary concern, the border issue\u200d has now become equally significant.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhen we started the process, I would have said economy, clear one, border, clear No. 2. Now I\u2063 would say economy\u2064 is 1a \u2064and border is\u200c 1b. \u2064I think people are seeing the effects of the border,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cEvery community has become a border community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis expressed frustration with President \u2062Joe Biden&#8217;s apparent lack of\u200b concern for the border crisis, as well as the indifference of the Washington elites. He stressed\u200c that when\u2062 speaking\u200c with voters\u200d in \u200dIowa, New Hampshire, and other early states, there \u2064is a prevailing sense that the current government does not prioritize \u200cthe needs of \u2062the people they were elected to serve. DeSantis\u200b sees the upcoming \u20622024 election as an opportunity to\u2064 bring about change.<\/p>\n<p>Joining DeSantis, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) highlighted the alarming statistic that approximately 10,000 immigrants cross the border daily. He emphasized that this\u2063 issue\u200c affects Americans nationwide\u2064 and proposed\u200d a solution in the form of \u2062HR2, a\u200d robust\u200c border\u200b security bill passed by House Republicans. Roy emphasized\u2063 the importance of pressuring the president to sign the bill into law, and if necessary, electing\u2063 a president\u200c who will prioritize border security.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAnd\u2062 if he won\u2019t\u2063 do it, we need to elect a president who will sign that into law,\u201d he added, pointing to \u2064DeSantis\u200b while going on to slam former President Donald Trump for \u201csiding\u2063 with Paul Ryan to try \u200cto pass an amnesty-first rather\u200c than a border security-first\u200d bill, which left us with the \u200dsituation we\u2019re facing \u2064right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite trailing behind\u200c former President Donald Trump in the polls for the GOP presidential nomination, DeSantis remains determined. Trump,\u200d the Republican front-runner, has maintained a significant lead despite \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-exploits-lobbying-loophole-to-dodge-disclosure\/\" title=\"China Exploits Lobbying Loophole to Dodge Disclosure\">facing multiple indictments<\/a>, including\u200c federal\u2063 charges related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-director-calls-legit-criticism-of-corrupt-fbi-violence-but-we-werent-born-yesterday-2\/\" title=\"FBI Director Calls Legit Criticism Of Corrupt FBI \u2018Violence,\u2019 But We Weren\u2019t Born Yesterday\">mishandling classified documents<\/a>. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all 91 felony charges.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE \u2063WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What actions has Governor Ron DeSantis taken to address the issue of illegal immigration in Florida<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Uld say it\u2019s almost even,\u201d DeSantis stated during the interview. \u201cThe economy, \u200dwe were rolling right along. As you mentioned, we\u2019ve got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-commerce-secretary-claims-no-shred-of-evidence-that-trump-tax-cuts-increased-growth-and-productivity\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Commerce Secretary Claims No \u2018Shred Of Evidence\u2019 That Trump Tax Cuts \u2018Increased Growth And Productivity\u2019\">record low unemployment<\/a>, wages\u200d were going up, things were \u2063looking really, really positive. And then all of a sudden, we\u2019re hit with a pandemic and the economy just tanks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s comments reflect a growing concern among voters across \u2062the country. The COVID-19 \u2064pandemic has wreaked havoc on the \u200deconomy, causing businesses to shut down,\u2063 millions to lose their jobs, and overall uncertainty about the future. While the nation has made strides in recovering from the initial impact of\u2064 the pandemic, the effects are still being\u200b felt.\u2062 Voters are looking for\u2063 leaders who can \u200bguide \u2063them through this difficult period \u200cand \u200crevive the\u200d economy.<\/p>\n<p>However, the border crisis has also become a pressing issue for many voters, particularly those living in states like Florida that have been directly affected by the surge of illegal immigration. DeSantis&#8217;s mention of the border issue being on par \u200cwith the economy reflects the frustration and concern that voters share. The influx of illegal \u200bimmigrants not only poses \u200da <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/state-dept-spox-largest-threat-to-u-s-national-security-are-u-s-cops\/\" title=\"State Dept Spox: \u2018Largest Threat to U.S. National Security are U.S. Cops\u2019\">national security threat<\/a> but also puts\u2063 a strain on resources \u200band\u200c public services. Voters want to see action being taken to secure the border and address the root causes of illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis, known \u2063for his tough stance on immigration, has been proactive in tackling the issue within his own state. Under his leadership, Florida has \u2062implemented stricter immigration \u2063policies, including banning sanctuary cities and cooperating with federal immigration\u2063 authorities. These actions have garnered support from conservatives who view strong immigration policies as necessary for national security and protecting \u2063American jobs.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the economy and border crisis, DeSantis also highlighted\u2064 the importance of conservative values and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/soviet-born-congresswoman-torches-garland-americans-are-afraid-of-being-prosecuted-by-your-doj\/\" title=\"Soviet-born congresswoman slams Garland: Americans fear DOJ prosecution.\">protecting individual liberties<\/a>. He emphasized the need for leaders who prioritize limited government intervention and respect for constitutional rights.<\/p>\n<p>As the Iowa caucuses draw near, Governor Ron DeSantis&#8217;s focus on the economy and the border\u200d crisis aligns with the key concerns of voters. People are looking for leaders who can steer the nation towards\u200b economic recovery and address the challenges of illegal immigration. DeSantis&#8217;s track record in Florida, particularly his efforts to combat illegal immigration and promote conservative values, resonates with many conservatives across the country.<\/p>\n<p>However, as with any election, other issues such as healthcare, education, and climate change may also hold weight in voters&#8217; decisions. It will be essential for\u200c candidates to address these concerns as well and construct comprehensive policies that cater to \u2063the \u2062diverse needs of the electorate. Ultimately, it will be up to the voters to decide which candidate best represents their interests and can effectively tackle the pressing issues of the day.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming weeks, as\u2064 candidates make\u200b their final appeals to voters, it is crucial for them to listen and respond to the concerns \u2064and priorities\u200d of \u200bthe American\u200c people. The economy and the\u200b border crisis are just two\u2062 of the significant issues on voters&#8217; minds, and effective leadership in \u200cthese areas will be crucial in winning their support. Voters \u2063are yearning for a leader\u2063 who can restore financial stability\u200d and ensure the safety and security of the nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Iowa caucuses approaching in less than a month, Gov.
