White House blasts DeSantis for deploying National Guard to deal with Cuban migrants
In the midst of implementing its own controversial new program for dealing with the flow of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, the White House on Wednesday criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida for deploying the National Guard to handle the arrival of undocumented immigrants from Cuba.
We are talking about people who are coming from countries, who are dealing with political strife, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at Wednesdays press briefing. Theyre trying to find asylum and hes treating them like pawns.
She charged that DeSantis was not dealing with the problem. Hes actually creating a problem.

The governors move came after President Biden announced a new parole plan that would allow up to 30,000 migrants per month from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Haiti to receive asylum in the United States, provided they applied from their home countries via smartphone app, without making a perilous overland journey to the border. The plan also includes an agreement from Mexico to accept 30,000 deportees from those countries apprehended in the United States.

It seems the GOP are all trying hard to see who can be the most rotten of them all to other human beings. Disgusting

Is this a good thing to alienate your strongest base?

That's along the lines of how Lyndon Johnson would tweak the nose of a clown like DeSantis.
