Florida sending National Guard to Texas

Ron DeSantis is sending Florida law enforcement and National Guard members to the Texas border

The numbers are a significant increase from when the Florida governor sent assistance to Texas in 2021

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that he is sending more than 1,100 state law enforcement agents and National Guard members to Texas’ border with Mexico. The number is a tenfold increase compared to a similar move in 2021, and comes just weeks ahead of his expected presidential launch.

DeSantis had signaled for weeks that he was preparing an immigration-focused announcement as he re-energized his war of words over the issue with President Joe Biden, whose administration recently allowed for the lapse of Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that made it easier to expel migrants.

Can he remove all the illegal immigrants from lake Worth and PB county?

If he does, everything is going to come to a standstill. Who do you think delivers the food to the supermarkets. All the construction projects will come to a halt. Some of them already have. There has to be a better way to deal with this.

Be careful what you wish for.

Extremes never work in Politics. They may appear to work, but then everything falls apart.

Why would you want to live in lake Worth when you can live in El Salvador a lot cheaper and it's safer there than here in the usa? Look at revolver news and their story:

Housing here is unaffordable...thank your inept leader Biden for the inflation we are experiencing.
Why are these people all crossing our border illegally? Is it for affordable housing?
Why don't you live there?

Housing in the 33460-1 was undervalued till now, add the New Yorkers, east coasters , Ron Desantis’s policies have made us very desirable! Bring on the Gentrification! Btw, our schools are getting better with the influx of families that bring new ideas and better standards, winning!

Back in the 1970s and 1980s there was no illegal immigrant invasion. In this time period we had a very strong construction industry, and all the jobs that the dimwitted left preaches would be not be possible without the illegals, were happily filled by LEGAL Americans. This included roofers and farm workers and everything else. Sure there were some migrant farm workers, but they were LEGAL.
Today the puppet-masters of America's Leftist government want us to believe that we NEED the illegals. Like in the "Wizzard of Oz" movie, we are not supposed to look at the man behind the curtain pulling the levers and strings. We are also supposed to believe that the Biden crime family mob-boss with dementia, is making his own decisions regarding American policy...but that is another post :-)

Bottom-line, illegals are here to de-stabilize American culture and to assist in the creation of the new American Peasant Class that will replace the Middle and Working Classes of the last one hundred years. The Scamdemic tested Leftist theories of how they could scare Americans into compliance, by fear, and how well they could keep the public believing in obvious lies, if the news media was a good enough propaganda vehicle. We now know it was...and that the government had the libs so scared they wore masks by themselves in cars, pissed in their pants rather than walk into public restrooms, and basically showed themselves for the sheep that we know they are...And...do you really believe we would not be better off without the illegals? Don't you know of legal Americans that are out of work, and that could have taken these jobs illegals now have? They might have gotten more money per hour, but the cost to America for all the crime and social services to illegals and terrorists will make the cost of hiring "legals" appear as no cost at all.

As Ten Bears said to Josey Wales: "There's iron in what you say", but I'm afraid the genie is out of the bottle.

Mostly, what these undocumented workers are doing, I would classify as unskilled labor. If they are fortunate enough to work for a decent employer, they will receive some minimal training, and be treated humanely.

Unfortunately, we now have to worry about AI, which the genius/idiots freely admit has the potential to destroy civilization, but don't have the sense to control it while they can.

@5:05--they are illegal.
They can NOT work in Florida that's for sure.

Well, we'll just have to see what happens then, won't we?

Maybe the Governor will change his mind, when he sees the chaos his edict hath wrought.

anony at 1:57--is this Cara?

@6:48? The only chaos is from all the illegals who have come across our border--drug cartels with fentanyl killing our citizens, human trafficking, terrorists, you name it. Ron DeSantis is doing everything possible to keep Florida save.
Furthermore, illegal immigration is the breaking of a government’s law. There is nothing in Scripture that contradicts the idea of a sovereign nation having immigration laws. Therefore, it is rebellion against God to unlawfully enter another country. Illegal immigration is a sin.
