DeSantis: We’re Going to Shoot Drug Cartels ‘Stone Cold Dead’ When I’m President
EXCERPT:
DeSANTIS: “We’re declaring it a national emergency on day one. I’m sending U.S. military to the border. I am going to stop the invasion cold. I am going to deport people who came in illegally. And I’m even going to build the border wall and have Mexico pay for it, like Donald Trump promised. How are you going to do it? Yeah, Mexico is not going to fork over the money. We’re going to impose fees on the remittances that foreign workers send to foreign countries. We will raise billions of dollars, I'll build the wall. But we’re going to designate the cartels to be foreign terrorist organizations or something similar to that, and we will authorize the use of deadly force, we'll have maritime operations to interdict precursor chemicals going into Mexico. But I’ll tell you this. If someone in the drug cartels is sneaking fentanyl across the border when I’m president, that’s going to be the last thing they do. We’re going to shoot them stone cold dead."
