.LeaderMcConnell calls GOP governors flying migrants to blue states a ‘good idea’
The administrations of Govs. Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott recently organized transports of migrants to blue states, dropping them in places such as Washington, D.C., New York, and Chicago, with some transports leaving migrants outside the official residence of Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been selected by President Joe Biden as the point person on immigration issues at the southern border.
The moves have been the subject of controversy, with supporters praising them as a protest of Biden’s border policies and critics blasting them as cruel stunts. McConnell praised the effort in remarks to supporters at the Capitol Tuesday. “There’s been a good deal of talk about what some of the governors have done to transport illegal immigrants up to other parts of the country,” McConnell said. “I personally thought it was a good idea.”
McConnell argued fewer groups of people have landed in the blue regions than “people down in Texas have to deal with on a daily basis.”A transport of migrants by DeSantis, who is seen as a likely Republican presidential candidate in 2024, to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, has come under scrutiny for reportedly luring the immigrants with false promises of housing and employment.
