Biden Asks DeSantis and Abbott to Resolve Immigration Instead of Playing
R. Gelfenstein - It was at the 45th Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala in Washington, D.C., that the president of the United States invited Republican governors to work in his administration on solutions to immigration problems instead of focusing on "doing politics with humans."
Joe Biden couldn't hide his annoyance with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who this week sent two planes carrying at least 50 immigrants from his state to Martha's Vineyard, and texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has been filling buses for more than a month. with immigrants and sending them to New York, Washington DC and Chicago.
"What they're doing is wrong. He's not American. It's reckless," said Biden, who also accused Republicans of using immigrants as "accessories."

The president reminded both Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott that there are processes in place to deal with immigrants and that his administration tries to do so in a humane and orderly manner, which is not the case.
Biden's comments come on the same day that DeSantis defended his actions as one of the groundbreaking measures he has implemented to "protect the State of Florida from the impact of Biden's border policies."
"We're not a sanctuary state, they better go somewhere and we can help make transportation easier," Florida's governor said Thursday.
