DeSantis Campaign Press Release - Ron DeSantis: "As Commander-in-Chief, I'm going to use the US military to go after the Mexican drug cartels. They are killing our people."

Simi Valley, Calif. – During the second Republican presidential primary debate tonight, Ron DeSantis said:

"As Commander in-Chief, I'm going to use the US military to go after the Mexican drug cartels. They are killing our people. The stories that I've seen in Florida: We had an infant, 18 months. Parents rented an Airbnb. And apparently the people that had rented before were using drugs. The toddler was crawling on the carpet and ingested fentanyl residue and died. Are we just going to sit here and let this happen? This carnage happened in our country? I am not going to do that. So I guarantee you on day one, this border is going to be a day one issue for me as president. We're going to declare it a national emergency. Yes, we'll build the wall. We'll do remain in Mexico. But those Mexican drug cartels are going to be treated like the Foreign Terrorist Organizations that they are."
