TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) — Gov. Ron DeSantis held a roundtable discussion Wednesday in Arizona with border sheriffs to discuss forging a partnership with law enforcement in border states.
DeSantis is pitching Florida’s immigration policies as a solution to America’s border crisis.
“This country is falling on its face with respect to ensuring the sovereignty of our country,” he said.
At the roundtable, DeSantis said the federal government was failing on border security and called for a coalition of states to step up.
“The border needs to just be shut down. We need to be telling people you’re not coming illegally, you’re not doing a bogus asylum claim. You’re not going to be able to cross the border,” the governor said.
DeSantis announced a formal partnership with like-minded sheriffs and governors.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd was at the Arizona roundtable and echoed the governor’s call.
“Our president and the administration stands silent and allows the people of this country to be victimized. That is simply unacceptable.” Judd said.
The visit to the southern border comes a day after The Florida Department of Emergency Management broke its silence on recent migrant flights, confirming in an email Tuesday night that the state is responsible for the two flights carrying over 30 migrants from Texas to Sacramento, California.
