'Biden Has Dumped People All Over The Fruited Plain': DeSantis Defends Martha's Vineyard Move

okay go ahead sure I hear you [Music] I had done it if you had done it with notice if you had called your counterpart in Massachusetts and said Governor we're sending you 50 Venezuelan migrants uh they'll land at three o'clock tomorrow do you think that might have taken some of the teeth out of the blowback and criticism absolutely not you know how I know that Biden has dumped people all over the fruited plain in the middle of the night with zero notice there's small towns that are getting inundated with people with zero notice and so that's not something that they've been doing so the issue is just simply we had a policy when uh Joe Biden took office that was working it was orderly there's a whole cottage industry that anyone that wants to get in should just claim Asylum most of these people clearly do not qualify for Asylum so that is being abused so when you have a process like remain in Mexico someone can still make the claim but then this way when it's denied you're not going to get entry in the United States on that basis Joe Biden reversed that policy and he reversed many others so now you have massive chaos that's happening millions and millions of people coming across illegally yes you have really serious things happening along the way to the border which no one seems to care about you have people that once they they get in are basically destitute in some parking lot they're not upset about that they're not upset about all the fentanyl that's coming into this country and is now leading to record fentanyl deaths and that would not be happening if we had a secure border and yes Maduro is releasing people from prison you have this is being used strategically to weaken our country so if you have criminal aliens coming in and they victimize Americans those should not those crimes should not have happened if we just had a secure border so no one was no one really cared about that on the national media perspective until 50 show up in Martha's Vineyard and you got to ask yourself [Applause] you have to ask yourself on this okay why is that such a big deal but it wasn't a big deal when 50 migrants died in some shed in Texas is it just because they didn't want their wealthy Island to be having to be exposed to the unwashed masses and they were offended that they actually had to deal with reality so I think we have a situation in this country where we have a policy that is simply unjustifiable but the people that support the policy are imposing the costs of that policy on other people they don't want to have to pay any type of cost on this and don't forget this is an island that advertised to be sanctuary and they said they didn't have the resources to keep to take 50. well just imagine how all these other places across our country are having to be due so it's chaotic it's not the way you you do business now everybody is talking about it and you look they're busing to New York City DC all this stuff and and that's not the solution though the solution is to recognize the policies failed and to change the policy and you could do that very easily in ways that have been proven to work so hopefully we're going to be talking about this a lot more now this was not an issue of concern even two weeks ago now it seems to be on the front burner so we're proud of that yes sir so um we got involved well we we have operations on the Panhandle and we've seized about a half a million dollars worth of drugs there have been arrests for human smuggling but this is like one or two people come in at a time and unfortunately what law enforcement does is just release the migrant and only goes after The Smuggler so we have people and many of them say they'd like to go to Florida and so basically the contractor is identifying who they think not they didn't necessarily say that but they're profiling and then they come to the Panhandle and then and then the flight is to uh goes from the Panhandle in but there's really no way that you could do this effectively because the member 12 million dollars to relocate away from Florida into Sanctuary jurisdictions so that's just been the most effective way to do it um and you know at the end of the day part of the reason is if you have a law enforcement bust all the transport is voluntary so if someone's already in Florida that's where they wanted to be we can say Hey you know we'll we'll do a bus and bring up somewhere but they do not have to to do that um here I think it's a it's a much more sensible thing to do and I think it's been been effective yes sir oh well right I mean yeah we I mean we believe the regime in Venezuela is illegitimate uh we believe that uh Maduro is a uh is a dictator along the lines of aralo Castro and I think he's done immeasurable damage to that country I just met with the uh Brazil's Ambassador U.S today they have absorbed over a million people from Venezuela because of what's going on but here's the thing Biden was asked hey how come you can't keep control of the Border he's like well I'm having to deal with Cuba Nicaragua and Venezuela are those new dictatorships have those not been dictatorships for a long time and first and not only that he's soft on all those dictatorships it would be one thing if he was actually willing to apply pressure and then say it's causing people to need Asylum but he's coddling them he's willing to go and and play footsie with Maduro he didn't lift a finger last summer when the Cuban people were rising up to take on the Raul Castro regime and of course he's going to be buddy buddy with Nicaragua and then the new Colombian president who's very leftist so so that's just the nature of what we're seeing here I've been opposed to them playing footsie with Maduro the whole time but nevertheless kind of here we are yes ma'am it's not an expenditure what it is is the money has is there and then as expenses are done it'll get drawn down but that has not been put to to use necessarily and remember there's a lot of other things that go on this just other than just the uh just the transport yes ma'am
