To fight against Haitians fleeing the gang led civil war in Haiti.


With Haiti in disarray, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday the state will be sending hundreds of law enforcement officers and soldiers to patrol the southern coast of Florida to “combat illegal vessels” that may be carrying desperate Haitians fleeing a country whose government is under attack by gangs.

So far, a surge of migrants has NOT materialized in Florida. But DeSantis, said in a statement that he is deploying more than 250 state officers and soldiers as well as helicopters, aircraft, drones and boats to “protect our state” from arriving migrants.

The deployment will include up to 133 members of the Florida State Guard, a civilian military force under the governor’s command that has mainly responded to natural disaster emergencies. Last fall, a select group of State Guard members with the power to make arrests and carry weapons was trained to intercept migrants at sea at a Panhandle combat-training facility.

DeSantis blamed President Joe Biden.

The reader will wonder how 133 of desantis's brown shirts will be able to patrol Florida's coastline? Here is some data

Florida has 8,436 miles of shoreline, and the coastline is 1,350 miles long. This puts desantis's private army soldiers about 5.4 miles apart. Assuming they patrol 24/7.

Is the Statue of Liberty creed allowed to be taught in Florida schools?
