DeSantis\u200d made these remarks during an \u200cappearance on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face The Nation&#8221; \u2062with Margaret\u200c Brennan, where he discussed the \u2063concerning influx of illegal aliens into the\u2062 United States.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Of course it&#8217;s a federal issue, a federal interest, but states and localities should absolutely be able to\u2063 supplement \u200dthe federal government,&#8221; DeSantis emphasized. &#8220;We&#8217;re \u2062in\u2062 a situation\u200c now \u200bwhere the\u2063 federal government asserts that\u200c they have the sole dominion over enforcing \u2063immigration laws, but they&#8217;re choosing \u2064not to faithfully enforce them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis firmly believes that states \u200cand\u2063 localities should\u200b have the\u2062 authority to enforce immigration \u2064laws as long as they\u2064 are upholding\u2062 the law. He clarified \u200cthat this would not \u2064apply if a state was intentionally obstructing \u2063the law,\u2063 as \u200dthat would go against the supremacy clause of\u2063 the Constitution. However,\u200d in the current scenario, \u2063it is the federal government that is \u200dhindering the enforcement of immigration laws, \u2063while states simply want\u200d the law to be upheld.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;As president, I\u200b am going to deputize\u2063 state and localities,&#8221; DeSantis declared.\u2064 &#8220;I am going to say, state\u2062 and localities have the authority to enforce \u2063immigration laws as long\u2062 as they&#8217;re upholding\u2062 the law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis highlighted \u200cthe success of Florida law enforcement in collaborating with the Coast Guard to prevent illegal aliens from\u2063 entering the state through the Caribbean islands. \u200bBy promptly enforcing the laws, they have created a significant\u200d deterrent effect, dissuading\u200d individuals from attempting the dangerous journey.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the \u2064same principle applied to the southern border,&#8221; DeSantis explained. &#8220;If we have a \u200cnew sheriff \u2064in town on this and they know they&#8217;re\u200d going back to their\u200d home country, you&#8217;re going to see a dramatic decrease in people attempting \u200bthis voyage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis firmly believes\u200c that by taking decisive \u200caction and ensuring\u200b that those \u2062who enter\u2063 the country illegally \u200care promptly returned\u2063 to\u200b their \u2063home \u2062countries, the allure of illegal immigration will diminish.\u200b This, in turn, will discourage individuals from paying \u2064exorbitant amounts to smugglers and \u200dcartels.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the interview below:<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What impact does illegal immigration have on communities in terms\u200c of schools, healthcare systems, and the economy, \u2062according to DeSantis?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Play a role \u200bin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-attorney-general-mark-brnovich-facebook-admits-to-aiding-human-smuggling\/\" title=\"Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich: Facebook Admits to Aiding Human Smuggling\">enforcing federal immigration laws<\/a>,&#8221; DeSantis\u200d said. &#8220;We\u200b have to recognize the impact that illegal immigration has on our communities \u2013 our schools, our\u200b healthcare system, our economy. We cannot simply turn a blind eye to this problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u200d emphasized the need for stronger border security and stricter immigration policies to prevent the entry of illegal immigrants into the country. He argued that the current system allows for loopholes and failures that undermine the safety and security of American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The federal government has failed to \u200dadequately address \u2062illegal\u200d immigration, and it&#8217;s time for states to step up and \u2063take action,&#8221; DeSantis\u200d asserted. &#8220;I will work tirelessly to secure \u200cour borders, enforce immigration laws, and protect the American people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During \u2062the interview,\u2063 DeSantis\u200d also addressed the issue of sanctuary cities, expressing his support for legislation that would ban such cities\u2064 in Florida.\u200c Sanctuary \u200ccities,\u2064 he argued, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/national-suicide-is-immoral\/\" title=\"Suicide is morally wrong at a national level.\">provide safe havens<\/a> \u2064for undocumented immigrants and hinder efforts to enforce immigration laws.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to send a \u200bclear message that we will not \u200btolerate sanctuary\u2062 cities in our \u2064state,&#8221; DeSantis\u200d stated. &#8220;These cities undermine the rule of law and threaten the safety of our communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u200d&#8217;s \u200cstance on immigration aligns with the policies implemented by former President Donald Trump. \u200bLike Trump, DeSantis\u200d believes that a strong stance on\u200b illegal immigration is necessary to protect national security and uphold the\u200b principles \u200cof the\u2064 United States.<\/p>\n<p>However, DeSantis\u200d&#8217;s\u200c remarks \u2064have received criticism \u2064from proponents of comprehensive immigration reform. They argue that his\u2063 approach neglects the\u2063 humanitarian aspects of the issue\u200c and\u200c fails \u200cto\u200b address the root causes of illegal immigration. They advocate for a more \u2063compassionate and inclusive approach to \u2062immigration policy.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the \u200bcriticism, DeSantis\u200d&#8217;s strong stance on illegal \u2063immigration resonates with many Americans. A recent poll conducted by ABC News found that 62% of Americans \u2064believe that\u2063 undocumented immigrants are a burden \u2062on the \u2064country and should be deported.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u200d, who is widely seen\u200d as a potential candidate for the 2024 presidential election, has made\u2064 illegal immigration\u200b one of the focal points of his political \u200dagenda. He believes that taking action on this\u2063 issue is crucial not only for the safety and security of the United States \u200dbut also for the\u2062 well-being of American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>As the debate on\u2062 immigration continues to evolve, \u2062DeSantis\u200d&#8217;s commitment to addressing the issue head-on sets him apart\u200c from other political figures. Whether or not \u200dhis proposed policies will gain support\u2063 remains\u2062 to be seen, but his determination to tackle\u200d illegal immigration is a testament to \u2063his dedication to protecting the interests of the American \u200dpeople.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis plans to deputize state and local law enforcement officials to enforce immigration laws if elected president.
