Here's the weird thing. DeSantis is a very bright guy. He graduated from Yale, Magna Cum Laude, then went to Harvard Law School. Served in the Navy in the Judge Advocate General Corps. He knows the law. Which means that he has to know that what he's proposing here is blatantly unconstitutional and illegal. Nobody gets to use lethal force on the basis of a suspicion.
He took an oath of office to support the Constitution of the US, which includes all the laws that were passed under it. What is it about the MAGA crowd that they claim to prefer illegality even after taking oaths to the contrary?

Take a page out of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's play book; Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is endorsing the authorisation of deadly force when dealing with suspected drug traffickers at the southern border.
Ron DeSantis endorses 'deadly force' against migrants suspected of trafficking drugs
EAGLE PASS, Texas — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday said he supported using "deadly force" against migrants coming into the United States who were suspected of bringing in drugs.

This endorsement comes on the heals of the mistraled case against 75-year-old Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, accused of fatally shooting a migrant on his property near the U.S.-Mexico border last month.
Do cooler heads need to prevail at the southern border or is deadly force the only response that will keep the drug cartels at bay?

I shot him because I thought he was selling drugs.
Yeah, let's see how that defense holds up in court.
If this gets enacted, I see a future with trigger happy proud boys going to border towns harrassing brown people whether they're Americans or not, then shooting them if they think they have drugs on them.
Hell, they could even plant drugs on them after killing them, just like corrupt cops.
If your answer is violence, you haven't been doing enough thinking.

That defense resulted in a mistral of 75-year-old Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, accused of fatally shooting a migrant on his property near the U.S.-Mexico border last month.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 18:
The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
Eventually, the Supreme Court extended these constitutional protections to all aliens within the United States, including those who entered unlawfully, declaring that aliens who have once passed through our gates, even illegally, may be expelled only after proceedings conforming to traditional standards of fairness encompassed in due process of law.

The only way to stop the invasion is if all Latinos are deported...sorry even citizens. Why? Because if we don't we will fight a losing guerilla battle against Mexico, the 30+million illegals here, China, the UN and Canada. Yes they will all join in.
After they are all removed we can bring back in US citizens who have lived in the nation for 30+yrs. All others born after that 30yr period were anchor babies anyways.
This action would take a year to map out locations of deporties. Then when action started we would have about 2 months to complete the deportations until the rest of the world decides to go against us. As long as the illegals are gone by that 2 month period theyWEF/UN nations won't do a damn thing except maybe sanction us....good...we produce the food for the world.
