It’s not going to make a difference. Manpower on the border isn’t the problem. Policy is the problem.

DeSantis is just trying to make sure his name gets in the headlines. There’s no crisis at the border & if there was one, it was probably Trump’s doing. Biden has been trying to fix the mess that was left behind by the former administration, who thought that separating families, and jailing children, who were fleeing from horrific conditions and risked their lives hoping that America would live up to the promise of our Statue of Liberty which says “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” We are all immigrants in this country except for the Native Americans. DeSantis is just trying to get publicity out of nothing, so that he can try for the ‘24 presidential election. The last thing we need is another Republican in the White House, especially DeSantis. Even Trump said that this country always does better when a Democrat is in the White House. The Republicans make a bunch of fake promises and we end up in another recession. Then a Democrat has to come in and clean up the mess once again.

Remember the Alamo.

Maybe it will work out better this time.

Anything that does not directly affect some people to their own personal benefit is criticized and complained about by those who aren’t getting a payoff.

States share resources all the time. It’s called being part of a team, something that many today no nothing about.

DeSantis is one of the best governors we’ve had in a good long while. Frankly, I hope he does not run for president. I’d like to keep him here in Florida where he is doing us the most good. I’m certain he would win a second term easily.

The difference is the border mess is a federal problem that Florida will not be reimbursed for by those states which those states think they will sue the feds for them to be reimbursed but will actually spend millions on a frivolous lawsuit against the federal government. When Florida solves it’s accelerating crime problems and drug smuggling borders problems then we might can spare some law enforcement to them. All that defund the police mess has caused the Leo shortages along with better less risk private jobs. This is a self promotion for Desantis for that presidential run in 24.i hope he does run so Florida will be done with this clown. We are going to see in the next couple of years all the mess Desantis left Florida with with all those executive orders he is running through

@Greg: I believe that is an unfair assessment. Anytime a place has a natural disaster, (hurricane, tornado, etc.), you see power trucks from everywhere. That does not mean those power trucks are not needed in their home towns under normal circumstances, they are just simply helping out when the need arises.

@Bob: DeSantis is the best governor that Florida has ever had by far

@bob @greg so when Florida needs help from other agencies after a hurricane we should turn them away and refuse their help, to include other power companies that come help Florida. It’s no different at the boarder, those law enforcement are way overwhelmed and are receiving no help from the federal government. Go take a look at the boarder and see for yourself, the media don’t do the real story justice.

Reply to Greg. REALLY ? States lend fellow states law enforcement officers all the time. Example: When a Hurricane devastates a city, other states send them law enforcement personnel to help prevent looting, to patrol downed traffic light intersections, Game wardens with boats are sent to help search and recure people in flooded areas. I guess you think we should lay off those heroes off too. After all, if we can lend them to a natural disaster area in another state we must not need them here.
I wonder if you complained about all the states that sent law enforcement to DC for this past Presidential inauguration.
