DeSantis lays out how he’s protecting Floridians from these Haitian illegals with specifics on increased manpower and resources.
He tells any Haitians who might be considering a boat trip to Florida “the last thing you should to want to do is get on some boat and think you’re going to come through many of these islands to get to the state of Florida.”
DeSantis says “the most likely scenario is you will be stopped and you will be returned to your country of origin.”
