DeSantis's Border Policies Mirror Trump's, But at What Cost?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is positioning himself as a Trump-like candidate in the 2024 GOP primary by adopting similar immigration policies, including eliminating birthright citizenship and ending "catch-and-release" policies. DeSantis argues that he is more effective than Trump at implementing a conservative agenda, citing his experience legislating to the right in Florida. However, critics argue that DeSantis is not differentiating himself enough from Trump and that his attempts to establish himself as the true conservative are not resonating with primary voters.
