DeSantis open to missile systems at border, vows to eliminate threats.

DeSantis Won’t Rule ⁤Out Use of Missile‍ Systems at Border, Says He’ll Leave Bad Guys ‘Stone Cold Dead’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is making waves with his unwavering‌ commitment to protecting the southern⁢ border.​ In a recent interview ‌with Norah O’Donnell on the “CBS Evening News,” DeSantis ​stated that he would not ‍hesitate to deploy military hardware and ​even​ launch missiles into Mexico to combat drug cartels if he​ were to become president.

This ‌bold statement came in response to a controversial super PAC‍ ad featuring DeSantis, where ⁣he passionately declared ‍that the ⁣cartels are responsible for the deaths of countless Americans. The ad, aptly titled “Stone Cold Dead,”⁤ left no room for misinterpretation.

While critics quickly attacked the DeSantis-aligned super PAC, accusing him of advocating for ⁣violence against illegal immigrants, the governor clarified that his remarks were specifically directed at hostile cartel members.⁤ He emphasized that individuals crossing the⁣ border with innocent ⁤intentions, such​ as women with babies, would ⁤not be targeted.

DeSantis is ‍not alone in his call for military intervention at the border. Other Republican figures, including Sen. J.D. Vance and Rep. Dan Crenshaw,‍ have expressed ⁣support for similar measures. The idea⁣ of deploying the military to address‍ the border crisis has also⁢ been endorsed‍ by several Republican presidential candidates,⁤ such as Nikki Haley, Vivek⁢ Ramaswamy, and Tim⁣ Scott.

Former Trump administration⁢ Secretary⁤ of Defense, Mark Esper, even​ revealed in a memoir ‌that the former president ⁣had considered using⁣ missiles against cartels during his tenure. ⁤However, legal concerns and potential asylum claims ultimately deterred him from taking such action.

While some may argue that pressuring Mexico ‍to address its own crime problem would ‌be ⁢a more diplomatic approach,⁢ DeSantis believes that a strong military‍ presence at the border⁣ is necessary to​ send a clear message. He asserts that America cannot simply view Mexico as an ally with a crime ​issue but must recognize it⁤ as a failed state that requires decisive action.

DeSantis’s unwavering stance on protecting the border may lead to ⁢tense exchanges, but it is a necessary step towards achieving‍ better results. The‍ governor firmly believes ​that the country is being invaded and‌ harmed by drug and human trafficking, and it‍ is the⁣ duty of a leader to ⁢take action.
