Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday provided his most detailed plan yet for securing the US southern border with Mexico as he tries to make up ground against Donald Trump in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
After touting his record as Florida governor for weeks on the campaign trail, DeSantis is slowly rolling out national policy programs. Energy and tax plans are in the offing, he said. He vowed as president to employ US law enforcement assets across the border if necessary to stop the flow of fentanyl and other drugs into the United States.
While president in 2018, Trump said he planned to issue an executive order to limit birthright citizenship, but never followed through. Many legal scholars at the time were skeptical that Trump could use executive authority to roll back the right.
