Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been one of the most vocal proponents of securing the border and stopping the flow of illegal aliens into the United States.
DeSantis is currently engaged in a brutal fight over illegal immigration with Republicans in the Florida Legislature.
And police intercepted two vans full of illegal aliens in Florida that left Ron DeSantis concerned about Chinese Communist Party infiltration.
Joe Biden left the border wide open for the past four years and allowed more than 12 million illegal aliens to enter the United States.
Donald Trump made securing the border and ending the illegal immigration crisis the top priority of his new administration.
Trump took several actions on Day One to help achieve this goal.
He declared a national emergency at the border, ended Biden’s catch and release program, and brought back the remain in Mexico policy.
He also instructed border czar Tom Homan to begin the largest mass deportation program in American history.
Under Homan’s direction, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents deported more than 7,300 illegal aliens within the first seven days of the Trump Presidency.
Of course, Trump’s mass deportations sent the Democrats and media elites into a frenzy.
Even though the deportations started with violent and dangerous criminal illegal aliens, the Left is trying to paint a narrative that Donald Trump is rounding up children and ripping families apart.
Several Democrat Governors and local leaders have already vowed to stop Trump’s deportation program in their states.
“Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, New York,” Homan told Jesse Watters when asked which Democrats were giving him the hardest time. “Look, New York — the mayor in New York says he wants to help, but the city council is stopping him,” he continued. “The commissioner of the NYPD is saying they’re not going to help.”
But while Democrats are pushing back against the deportations, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is pushing his legislature to do more to assist with the program.
“Interior enforcement atrophied under Biden so there will no doubt be a ramp-up period,” DeSantis said, before adding that this is “all the more reason why states and localities need to assist the Trump administration with interior enforcement efforts.”
“Will be a force multiplier,” he added.

However, the Republican-led State Legislature passed a “weak” immigration bill that DeSantis has promised to veto.
“The veto pen is ready,” he told Republicans.
We must have the strongest law in the nation on immigration enforcement. We cannot be weak.

Florida has already acted in the past to help protect the state from illegal aliens.
But it is not just illegal aliens from south of the border who give DeSantis reason for concern.
Chinese nationals have also been sneaking across the border illegally by the tens of thousands.

Florida previously banned Chinese ownership of farmland in Florida after CCP members bought hundreds of thousands of acres across the country.
But police in Coral Gables, Florida recently intercepted two vans carrying 26 Chinese illegal aliens.
“Florida law enforcement agencies today intercepted more than two dozen Chinese nationals in Coral Gables,” the South Florida Reporter wrote. “The Coral Gables Police Department (CGPD), the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), and regional law enforcement partners responded after a citizen tip alerted investigators to vehicles suspected of transporting the criminal aliens,” it continued. “Under Governor DeSantis’ leadership and his ‘Operation Vigilant Sentry’ Executive Order, FDLE has been actively coordinating Florida’s law enforcement response to the flow of criminal aliens into our state.”
In the 2022 fiscal year, there were 1,970 encounters with Chinese nationals at the border.
In 2023, that number increased to over 24,000.
In the first 4 months of 2024, there were already 24,200 encounters with Chinese nationals attempting to enter the country.
Joe Biden’s border crisis is a threat to the safety and security of every man, woman, and child in America.
Americans elected Donald Trump to secure the border and protect the country from invasion.
And Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is doing everything he can to assist Trump with this critical task.
