During the fourth GOP debate on Wednesday afternoon, the Alabama candidates were asked how they would resolve "the crisis at the southern border." National surveys show that immigration and immigrants entering the United States illegally are among the country's top problems. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was unable to answer the question posed by the moderators, but Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy discussed the topic in depth . DeSantis spoke passionately about prosecuting those who bring fentanyl into the country. "Drug cartels are invading our country and killing our citizens," DeSantis said.
