DeSantis doubles down on Trump-like immigration policies and proposes ending birthright citizenship.

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis unveiled his aggressive immigration policy proposal, promising to end birthright citizenship, finish building the southern border wall, and send US forces into Mexico to combat drug cartels. The plan largely mirrors former President Donald Trump's policies and faces tall odds, requiring the reversal of legal precedents, approval from other countries, or even an amendment to the US Constitution. DeSantis is prioritizing a divisive issue that has long been a focus of the GOP's most conservative voters, but it may be difficult for him to separate himself on immigration from the many other Republicans seeking the 2024 presidential nomination, especially Trump, who's the front-runner.
