He expressed his \u2064disbelief at the legislation&#8217;s proposal to only shut down the\u2063 border once 5,000 people\u2063 a day enter illegally, effectively legalizing illegal immigration. DeSantis also highlighted other flaws in the bill, emphasizing the disregard that Washington politicians have for American taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis didn&#8217;t stop there. He criticized the \u200cexcessive amount of money being sent abroad instead of being \u2064used to\u200d address the border crisis. He argued\u2063 that the president already\u2062 has the authority to secure the country&#8217;s border without the need for new legislation. DeSantis concluded that the bill is nothing more than\u2063 a &#8220;dog and pony show&#8221; that will only worsen the problem at hand.<\/p>\n<p>While DeSantis expressed doubt about the bill&#8217;s chances of success, he\u2062 acknowledged the unpredictability of Washington politics.
