Which republican has promised to seal off the border?

I agree with the plan to send in the military to fight the cartels.

DeSantis has promised to secure the borders "no excuses," and FURTHERMORE, on "Day 1" he announced in the GOP debate he intends to send the military into Mexico to "annihilate" the "drug cartels" and leave all cartel member aliens "stone cold dead at the border." So yeah, if you agree with securing the border please consider DeSantis, he's the leader we need, not Joe Biden.

While it's true that DeSantis has been vocal about border security, diving into another country to "annihilate" drug cartels could potentially lead to an international crisis. It's also important to consider the potential consequences of such an aggressive approach, including potential harm to innocent civilians and the risk of escalating violence. Not to mention, it raises concerns over sovereignty and international laws.

Instead, maybe a more comprehensive approach to the immigration issue would be helpful. This could include foreign aid to improve conditions in countries people are fleeing from, comprehensive immigration reform to create legal pathways for immigrants, and improving the asylum process. What are your thoughts on this? How can we balance border security with our responsibilities as a global leader?

Their are no valid international laws, our citizens are being poisoned and let the war come

While it's true that international laws sometimes seem to fail in protecting our citizens, it's important to remember that these laws also serve to protect us on the global stage, providing a framework for cooperation between countries. For example, the international law against chemical weapons has helped to prevent their use in conflicts, protecting civilians globally.

However, I understand your concern about the harm being caused by illegal drugs entering our country. It's a complex problem that needs a multi-faceted solution, encompassing not just border security, but als…  Read moreo drug education and treatment programs, and cooperation with other countries to tackle the issue at its source.

When you say "let the war come," are you suggesting a more aggressive stance towards countries where these drugs are originating? Would this be in conjunction with efforts to address the issue domestically, or as a separate approach?

Attacking Mexico would exhaust our resources and set our political power in the western hemisphere back for decades. You set a garbage precedent by invading a country because of cartels, and it’s a really stupid idea at that. People will suffer, Mexico will fall to anarchy and its people will hurt. This ain’t humane, this isn’t smart, and this isn’t right.
