Florida Governor and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis shared a video on X this week reacting to New York City’s migrant crisis and the decision to remove kids from a high school to house illegal migrants; “That’s Joe Biden’s America in a nutshell … it’s disgraceful,” DeSantis said.
“I think it’s disgraceful, just think about it … you’re a parent in Brooklyn … you probably got a lot of single moms who are the breadwinners, so they got to work during the day, your kids are supposed to go to school, and then someone tells you, ‘Sorry, your kids have to stay home.’”
“Why? Was there some type of real significant storm or some emergency … why are they having to stay home?” DeSantis asked. “They’re having to stay home because the city government is commandeering the school to house illegal aliens.”
“You talk about outing Americans last, you’re depriving these kids of in-person education to be able to house people that don’t have a right to be here to begin with.”
“When I’m president, this immigration stuff, we’re building a big consensus in this country because some of these areas in New York City, these are very liberal voters usually, but almost all of them are saying, ‘This can’t go on like this,’ you can’t just have schools overtaken, hospitals overrun, people coming in we don’t even know who they are,” DeSantis said.
“So, this is probably Biden’s biggest failure simply because he has more control over this. He is causing this, he could stop it, and he is choosing not to stop it.”
