The recent stunt by Florida’s Governor DeSantis to ship migrants to New York City and other places represents the desperate act of a desperate Party. You’ll remember that six years ago then-president Trump promised the American people that he would build a 1,300 mile wall on the southern US/Mexico border AND HAVE MEXICO PAY FOR IT. When he left office only a small amount of a useless wall (it didn’t keep anyone out) was built and financed by American donors. Now, after 18 months in office, the Biden Administration is trying to clean up the mess inherited from the Trump failure. Ironically the migrant airlift is mainly caused by Trump’s failure but now being used against Biden. If people only remembered that Trump didn’t solve the problem that DeSantis is now publicizing they would realize that the GOP is accurately reflecting their own Party’s incompetence. Until Mexico agrees to work with the US by limiting the huge numbers of Central American refugees into their country we will never be able to stem the tide–regardless of who controls the White House. If Mexico limits it’s southern border crossing intake so that we can systematically process immigrants into the US the chaos will be minimized. If Mexico does not agree we should close our borders to ALL immigrants and force Mexico to deal with the onslaught. In truth, this being an election year, don’t expect any solution from either party. Too many emotions in the form of too many voters create too much uncertainty.
