DeSantis lays out border security plan at event in Eagle Pass, Texas

In a campaign stop in Eagle Pass, Texas, on Monday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis presented his border security plan as part of his platform to win the Republican nomination for president.


The plan includes reinstating several policies implemented by the Trump administration, including ending catch and release, reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy, among others. His plan also includes using the U.S. military to work with Border Patrol agents “on day one, and they’ll continue to help until the [border] wall is finished,” according to a campaign document obtained by The Center Square.


DeSantis plans to continue building the border wall that Trump built. There are currently 600 open miles along the US-Mexico border. The Trump administration built the most fortified wall of any administration using up to 30-foot steel bollards anchored in concrete. The wall was built to replace previously constructed fences along the border or where no wall or barrier existed.
