In a video posted on X, the former Republican 2024 presidential candidate accused Biden of being negligent.
"This border deal is a farce," DeSantis argued. "Joe Biden already has the authority to shut the border down. He could declare a national emergency. He could stop the invasion cold if he wanted to. He does not want to."
"This so-called deal purports to give him tools so that he could actually close the border. The reality is, is it's green-lighting up to 5000 illegals every single day," he added. "That's 1.8 million plus over the course of a year, which they're codifying into laws, saying that's an appropriate number of illegal entries."
DeSantis argued that the "appropriate" number of illegal entries is really zero.
"Our policy should reflect that, that we do not want people coming to this country illegally," DeSantis said. "We should not be giving benefits and work permits to people that have come to this country illegally."
"So Biden has the authority. He doesn't have the will. He doesn't have the political philosophy to want to actually solve the problem," he continued.
