Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> announced on Friday that he is sending more personnel to Texas to assist the state in fighting against the border crisis that President Joe Biden has caused.
The governor said at a press conference that 76 Florida Highway Patrol officers and 50 National Guardsmen were deploying to the southern border immediately. The announcement comes after he has already sent hundreds of troops to the border over the last few years.
&#8220;This is part of a years-long effort for us to help do what the federal government has refused to do, which is to actually defend this country&#8217;s borders,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You&#8217;ve seen numbers that have been astronomical over these last three years. I know that what&#8217;s been happening in Texas has been effective. You&#8217;ve seen the numbers go down, and that&#8217;s really because you have Texas putting forth huge effort, and then all these other states coming by to help. So, so we want to be a part of that. We think this is an American issue, partially just because we should have a secure country. And then partially the effects of this border invasion go to all 50 states.&#8221;
DeSantis called attention to the disturbing number of Chinese nationals who have been encountered at the southern border recently along with large numbers of military-aged males from hostile countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
&#8220;I think the chances are that there&#8217;s some bad intentions there for some of these people,&#8221; DeSantis warned. &#8220;And it&#8217;s a huge, huge problem, especially when you look at all the problem countries in this world have had people come through the southern border.&#8221;

He said that he unfortunately believes there will be a terrorist attack that ends up happening on U.S. soil that will eventually be linked back to Biden&#8217;s open border.
DeSantis also tore into the Biden administration funding NGO groups that are greatly exacerbating the illegal immigration crisis.
&#8220;The federal government is funding that, a hundred percent they are, and it&#8217;s wrong,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Our grand jury that we did, for the immigration, which we did in Northwest Florida, one of their reports talked about the role that these NGOs do. These NGOs make a fortune because of illegal immigration. They bring people in, the federal government gives them money. What we did in Florida is we took action regarding their ability to interact with the state. The problem is they have this money coming from the feds. But I think you look at it, it&#8217;s not just like, &#8216;Oh, someone shows up and these [NGOs] are offering charity.&#8217; They are intricately involved in orchestrating movements of people from foreign countries into this country illegally. That&#8217;s what those NGOs are doing. And I think they should be held accountable for that.&#8221;
&#8220;I definitely don&#8217;t think the federal government should take your tax dollars and fund that because they&#8217;re basically subsidizing the border invasion because folks know they&#8217;re coming and they&#8217;re going to be able to have this landing spot with these groups,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;So our grand jury looked at it. There may be more that comes of that. There may be things we do in the future legislatively to be able to hold them accountable. But they, they have exercised absolutely a negative influence on this. They have facilitated more illegal immigration. They have not worked to combat illegal immigration at all. And there&#8217;s a variety of these NGOs, and this has become, like, a major cottage industry where there&#8217;s a lot of money at stake for this. And what you want, I mean, the bare minimum, what you want to do is you have laws, you don&#8217;t want to incentivize people to break laws.&#8221;
