Ron DeSantis, the controversial governor of Florida in the United States, is keeping his front open against illegal immigrants as he plots his path to the White House.

DeSantis is the same person who passed SB 1718 – effective July 2023 – and has stated that he “resents the idea of ​​people using our country for birth tourism,” which is why he has proposed ending birthright citizenship.

Now more details are known about his plan against undocumented immigrants if he becomes president of the United States.

The released government proposal is called “Stop the invasion” (Stop the invasion)

In the material posted online, he points out to President Joe Biden the abundance of immigrants in the country.

Stop the invasion. Fight the cartels. Build the wall. Restore our sovereignty. There are no excuses.

According to him, “public safety has suffered. El Paso, Texas, used to be a quiet and orderly city (…) And it’s not just El Paso: all border towns are under attack: sidewalks full of illegals from all over the world, overcrowded emergency rooms, ranches and homes invaded, and public security is being disrupted because Joe Biden has refused to fulfill his most fundamental responsibility to defend American citizens. Sovereignty”.

DeSantis proposal against undocumented immigrants

1. The boundary wall between the eyebrows

Here the Republican’s message is harsh: “As president, I will end this moral and humanitarian catastrophe by closing illegal entries and building the wall, once and for all. There are more than 600 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border without an effective barrier against illegal crossings: I will use all my executive power and political capital to build the wall.”

2. Operational control of the border and endorses Stay in Mexico

DeSantis “proposes to ensure that migrants are detained while they await resolution of their claims.

He noted: “We will end catch and release and ensure that migrants are detained while they await the resolution of their claims, and not just released into the country’s interior. We will reintroduce Remain in Mexico and stop the flow of false asylum claims.

“We will hire more Border Patrol agents and more deportation agents to ensure that even as illegal immigrants cross the border, they will be quickly found and deported.”

For positions at the Customs and Border Protection Office (CBP) and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE), it indicates they will promote a recruitment campaign targeting former military personnel and police officers.

His plan includes – AS notes – the strengthening of E-Verify, the deportation of visa overstayers and the construction of a wall on the southern border with Mexico.

3. End of birthright citizenship

His administration plan states: “We will take action to end the idea that children of illegal immigrants are entitled to birthright citizenship if they are born in the United States.”

What does DeSantis’ proposed end to birthright mean for the United States?

“Putting the price of citizenship on the future descendants of illegal immigrants is a major driver of illegal migration. “It is also inconsistent with the original understanding of the 14th Amendment, and we will force the courts and Congress to finally address this failed policy.”

4. Immigration laws must be enforced

As President AS notes, “DeSantis signals he would prevent the Justice Department from suing states when they enforce immigration laws.”

5. Message to migrants and countries through which immigrants pass

Stop the Invasion reads: “If we build the wall, migrants won’t think they can cross the border. If we hire more Border Patrol agents, we will stop those who try. If we increase the number of deportations, immigrants will not think they can stay here, even if they somehow manage to cross the border.

Moreover, many migrants do not begin their journey in Mexico: caravans of South American migrants routinely make their way north, beginning by crossing the Panama-Colombia border near the Panama Canal.

“We will work with the governments of Panama and Colombia to close the crossings across this border and stop the caravans before they begin.”
