During a recent CBS Newe interview, Florida Governor and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis spoke about Biden’s broken border policies and how a DeSantis Administration would make some significant changes —including attacking cartel members.
“We are going to lean in and we are going to defend our country,” DeSantis told host Norah O’Donnell on CBS Evening News, stressing rules of engagement would be established to prevent the harm of innocents.
“If there’s a woman with a baby, they’re not a cartel member, there’s not going to be authorization to just shoot somebody like that,” DeSantis said. “But when somebody’s got a backpack on and they’re in there breaking through the wall, you know, that’s hostile intent, and you have every right to take action under those circumstances.”
“The reality is, they are overrunning our border, they’re sex trafficking, they’re human trafficking and they’re bringing in massive quantities of drugs,” he said. “I mean, our country is being invaded and hurt by what they’re doing. And the question is, do we just throw up our hands? And do we say there’s nothing we can do about it? Or does the leader take action? Because I’ll tell you this, I’m going to have the military at the border, 100%. I mean, if they’re trying to break through the wall, we will have deadly force authorized to be able to stop that.”
