As the race for the next U.S. presidential election heats up, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has formally announced his candidacy to the public. DeSantis's announcement on a publicly accessible conference call received a lot of media attention for technical difficulties that disrupted the formal launch. Despite the technical issues and the media's questionable coverage, this announcement underscores a central tenet of his campaign: tackling the pressing issue of the ongoing migration crisis on America's southern border. With a bidding war likely to break out to see who can take the toughest stance on U.S. asylum and refugee policy, DeSantis's strategy on immigration promises to be a key feature of his campaign.

During the announcement, Desantis highlighted his stance on immigration, explaining his approach to tackling it. He stated that he would "shut the border down," emphasizing that the majority of the asylum applicants were economic migrants and that he would take a no-nonsense approach to questioning those seeking asylum. While appearing relatively staid on immigration during his speech, the Republican governor has consistently taken a hardline approach to the issue in the past, positioning himself as an opponent of President Biden.

The COVID-19 pandemic allowed former President Trump to implement Title 42, which facilitated the expulsion of asylum seekers from the U.S. territory. However, these measures did not have any significant, long-lasting impact on the migration patterns of those seeking refuge in America. The change in administration, with the election of President Joe Biden, promised a departure from Trump's controversial immigration stance. Biden has focused on addressing root causes, such as corruption, violence, and socioeconomic inequality in the countries of origin, rather than relying on policy measures to address the problem. Despite Biden's stated intention to reverse Trump's previous policies, he admits that there is much work that needs to be done.
