Multiple declared and potential 2024 GOP presidential candidates possess hawkish stances on the border crisis, promising they’d target the imminent threat that Mexican cartels pose if president, they told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Illegal immigration will likely be a deciding factor in next year’s Republican primaries, as migrant crossings continue to surge at the U.S.-Mexico border under the Biden administration. Many GOP presidential contenders endorse designating the Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, activating the military and bringing back several Trump-era policies scrapped by the Biden administration, they told the DCNF.
The Biden administration has overseen a surge in illegal immigration at the southern border. In fiscal year 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered more than 2.3 million migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border and more than one million between October 2022 and February 2023.
Upon entering office, Biden made it his priority to scrap a number of Trump-era immigration policies and restrict interior immigration enforcement, which included instituting a 100-day moratorium on deportations and restricting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to only go after threats to national security, border security and public safety.
When it comes to deterrence policies, many of the confirmed and unofficial candidates believe in building a border wall, ramping up ICE operations and bringing back Trump-era policies, such as “Remain in Mexico,” which forced certain illegal migrants to await asylum court proceedings in Mexico.
Declared candidates former President Donald Trump, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and conservative businessman Vivek Ramaswamy provided responses to the DCNF, as well as potential candidates former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
“I will deport migrants as humanely as possible. Some of them may have an opportunity to come back into the country through the legal process, if they follow the law and demonstrate a commitment to the values of our nation,” Ramaswamy told the DCNF.
Trump began construction of a wall along the southern border while in office before Biden ended the construction as one of his first actions upon entering the White House.
DeSantis, Haley, Pence, Pompeo and Abbott all said they supported the building of a border wall. Both Hutchinson and Haley also believe in ending “catch and release,” which is the use of parole authority to force authorities against detaining illegal migrants while awaiting court proceedings.
