<p>Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> defended the state of Texas over the weekend for taking border matters into their own hands after years of failed policies from President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>DeSantis was asked about three migrants who drowned late last week in the Rio Grande River after the Texas Military Department took control of a region of the border and would not let federal agents enter.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the state should be able to enforce immigration law. I will empower the states to do that,&#8221; DeSantis said during a Sunday interview with CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper on &#8220;State of the Union.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The federal government down there has frustrated Texas&#8217; attempt to try to get people not to come across the border. And I think they will say that was on the Mexico side, and maybe the facts will come out and that will be clear one way or another. Obviously, it&#8217;s an unfortunate thing,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But I think what Texas is trying to do is set a standard so that people know that they&#8217;re going to be turned away, rather than let in. Under the Biden administration, they let them in, they give them a paper, and release them to the interior of the country. That&#8217;s not a deterrent from being able to come.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If people know that they&#8217;re not going to be able to get in, then that&#8217;s a deterrent for people trying to come,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;Why would you want to pay a smuggler, a coyote $5,000 when you&#8217;re just not going to be able to gain entry in the first place? So I&#8217;d like to see the federal government do more to help Texas to stop the influx. And I think that that would be better for everybody. And, honestly, it would be safer for a lot of the people that are coming, because they&#8217;re going through things in Mexico with the cartels that are not good. And some of these people are being treated very poorly.&#8221;</p>
