Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis will release a video Sunday previewing his border security policy announcement, scheduled for Monday morning.

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the video ahead of his announcement in Eagle Pass, Texas. The video highlights the border crisis and mentions DeSantis’ pledge to secure the border and to fight cartels. The campaign will also reportedly be launching a new line of merchandise focusing on different themes in the video to hype up his Monday policy announcement.

“The border is a complete disaster,” text reads in the ad followed by anchors discussing the border crisis.
“The crisis at the southern border: a record 2.76 million migrants crossed the border during the 2022 fiscal year, shattering the previous annual record by more than one million,” one anchor says.
“Some not old enough to walk but have already traveled hundreds of miles,” another anchor states in the ad, which continues.
“There has been this record surge of migrants.”
“Border partrol agents apprenhended more than 10,000 migrants along the U.S / Mexican border yesterday.”
“A growing humanitarian crisis at the southern border.”
“Drugs coming across the border here are fueling an unprecedented epidemic across the country, the toll of which can be counted in the skyrocketing number of overdose deaths.”
“What has been happening under President Biden’s watch is that so many immigrants think it will be easier to enter the United States.”
“We will secure the border. We will stop the cartles. We will build the wall. We will stop the invasion. No excuses,” text reads, concluding the ad. (RELATED: Ron DeSantis Officially Launches 2024 Presidential Bid)

WATCH:

In May, DeSantis signed a piece of anti-illegal immigration legislation, making E-Verify mandatory for Florida employers with more than 25 employees and suspending the licenses of any Florida employer who knowingly employs illegal immigrants. The bill also focuses on stronger penalties for human smuggling, banning local governments from issuing identification documents to illegal immigrants, invalidating ID cards issued to illegal immigrants in other states and more (RELATED: DeSantis Announces Lawsuit Against Department Of Education Over University Accreditation Agencies).

DeSantis previewed his announcement Friday at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference in Washington, D.C.

“I will finally be the president to bring the issue of our open southern border to a conclusion. I’ve heard about this since I’ve been an adult. For decades, we have complained about the open border, we have complained about everything that is happening, now is the time to act. On day one, we declare a national emergency. We mobilize all the assets, including the military. Yes, we build a border wall. We stop the invasion. And we hold the drug cartels accountable for the carnage they are causing in this country,” he said in his speech.

His border security policy announcement will take place Monday, 9 a.m. CT.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
