DeSantis unveils border and immigration policy plan for his presidential campaign

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Officers are deputized to work under the supervision of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the training is paid for by Florida taxpayers.
44% : "I view taking action that is very forward-facing in terms of that because it's violating our sovereignty and it's killing Americans."DeSantis added that when he is president, he would give Texas law enforcement the authority to deport individuals.
43% : DeSantis also said that Border Patrol agents should be able to "respond with force" if they catch drug smugglers attempting to sneak into the U.S."If the cartels are cutting through the border wall, trying to run product into this country, they're going to end up stone-cold dead as a result of that bad decision," DeSantis said during a news conference after his rollout speech.
30% : But the rollout also doubled as an attempt to criticize former President Donald Trump, the heavy front-runner for the GOP's 2024 White House nomination whose political brand was built in large part on his hardline -- and often inflammatory -- rhetoric on immigration and border security.
