Gov. Ron DeSantis admits he may not be able to remove all the people who immigrated illegally to the United States under President Joe Biden after all.
During an interview with an Iowa radio station, the 2024 presidential candidate ameliorated his previous promise to remove “everyone who has come in illegally under Biden.”
“Well, here’s the thing. So I don’t know how many are here,” DeSantis admitted.
“We’ve been told for many years, it was like 10, 11 million. But just under Biden, there’s been 6 or 7 million. You can’t say (that) because you’re not going to be able to do 100%, that then you should send none. I mean, I think that that’s a non-starter. You have to establish that there’s going to be a sanction. You have to enforce the law. Clearly, we have limited resources. You’re going to have to make choices as about how you do that.”
DeSantis then explained which choices he would make once in office.
“My priorities are going to be the last ones to come in under Biden are going to be the first ones out. And then any illegal alien who’s involved with the justice system, we’re going to be working with localities and states so that we can swiftly bring them back,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis also promised to “empower” states to “enforce immigration law.”
“Biden will sue Texas if they’re trying to put up a barricade at the border. We will embrace that. And if someone comes across the Texas border and the Texas Department of Public Safety grabs, just let Texas send them back. There’s nothing wrong with that,” he said on Newsradio 1040.
The Governor was challenged on his proposal last week by the New York Post, which was referred to a section of DeSantis’ website that suggested the mass relocation of millions of people would be possible if the government would “hire more Border Patrol agents and more removal agents to make sure that even if illegal immigrants cross, they will swiftly be found and deported.”

The Gov. should be happy (smirk), today, because Pres. Biden has released the Trump funds voted by the Republicans in Congress to finish building the Wall.
It may be necessity on the President’s part, as he has to follow the law, but it also may be a cynical ploy to undercut Republican claims that Biden has done nothing about the Border. I am not happy with this.
Either way, the Wall is a futile way to keep people out of this country. There is the Gulf, the Coast of California, the Southern-most Coasts of the SE and Florida, of course.
Immigration is needed to help this country continue to function, economically, technology-wise, and agriculturally. Not having enough workers in the ag fields is making everything more expensive at the grocery stores. That, and high gas prices, fueled by Saudi Arabia and the collusion of oil companies with the people who pay for Republican candidate elections, including, no doubt, Gov. DeSantis’s futile attempt to become the Republican nominee for President. He will not achieve that.

The fentanyl is coming through the ports and the mail. Fentanyl is a much bigger problem than swarms of of hungry, dog-tired poor boys and girls coming to El Norte — for the same reasons migrants have come here since the Pilgrims landed.
This is an issue that Congress alone can fix and, since Republicans invariably give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, how will they pay for it?
Trump tax break = 83 percent to top one percent.

Good Afternoon America,
Stand By For News,
As far as the limited resources to deport the illegal trespassers we can easly go the “self deportation route” which would cost our Great Nation next to nothing.
The self deportation path involves a small investment in .22 Cal amunition, some inexpensive bolt action .22 cal long guns to get the .22 shorts up to speed which will allow for the humain and best of all inexpensive use of the venerable but cheap .22 shorts.
Once we start putting those cheap .22 shorts in the back of a few hundred heads thats when we will see the beautiful mad rush for the illegals to get back over our southern boarder to where we do not care at $0.00 funds spent by our Great Nation.
You are welcome America,

SPIN!
In his home state (WHERE HE IS NOT DOING HIS JOB BUT INSTEAD ON CAMPAIGN VACATION FOR MONTHS) this is that “Oh shit” moment where their donors (and legislater owned businesses) went, sh!t, our workers are all leaving and the ones that are left we don’t want to be on the hook fiscally to move them around.
Now it’s “let’s act like it’s someone else’s fault” after they created a problem.
You know how you solve the border problem? A f*cking Work-4-Citizenship program and/or conscription. Put the invading hordes to work.
If the Repugnants really want the hispanic vote, and they’re really about jobs – there you go. A ton of cheap labor beholden, who are getting what they want.
But he won’t have thought of anything out of the box that is really needed and humane. Why?
He’s F*cking shill and cultural warrior theater.

JD,
Your nasty,
Not funny nasty like me, Earl Pitts American.
Also your post does not really make sense unlike my, Earl Pitts American, incredable drops of “pure “D” knowledge” which make perfect and logical sense.
However I, Earl Pitts American, think you may be on a Whiskey Binge today. So I forgive you.
Have a drink for me, Good ‘Ole Earl Pitts American.
Carry on my man JD, your OK with me,

My body is a temple that’s not polluted by strong drink, artificial colorings, or the Mind Virus that’s known as EarL Shitts (with his signature big “L” loser badge).
When you have an original idea, we’ll listen to your “wisdom”, but if you’re just going to spew rhetoric from the Twtterverse’s party lines, go opine elsewhere.

Interesting subject, this DeSantis man. His penis envy problem has somehow morphed into illegal immigrant envy, wherein he sees immigrants entering under the Biden administration as more of a threat than those who entered under the Trump administration. What is more, he also seems to value illegal immigrants to Texas more than he does those arriving in Florida, going so far as to spend millions of dollars to transport some of those immigrants from Texas to Florida — for a few minutes — before sending them north. North, not south to Mexico, mind you, not “back” to Mexico as he promises. I must say, if this man doesn’t have little pecker syndrome, I’d be very surprised.
