It's very troubling for people to be used as political pawns when they are brought to Martha's Vineyard, said the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump.

The former White House senior advisor was asked to comment on the show after watching clips of the stunt.

"We have to remember that these are people," he said.

They're humans. "Seeing them being used as political pawns one way or the other is very troubling to me," he said, before praising former President Donald Trump's immigration policies.

He said that more attention should be paid to people who smuggle migrants across the border for a lot of money.

Many of the migrants are put in human traffickers and modern slavery.

He blamed the "humanitarian catastrophe" of increased border crossing on the Biden administration.

The stunt was to bring border and migration issues to a liberal enclave. They were temporarily accommodated by local people before being moved to a military base.

The migrant group filed a federal lawsuit against DeSantis, saying they were misled with promises of accommodations and jobs and calling it a "premeditated, fraudulent, and illegal scheme."

Jacob Love, a lawyer for the group, said they were traumatized by being thrust into the center of a political controversy.

The move has played well with conservatives and given the GOP an issue to rally around.

The liberal outrage on the clip played on "outnumbered" was shown to be unwarranted.

50 people died in a trailer in Texas because they were neglected, according to a clip.

There was a freak-out about that. Many politicians including Biden did express outrage and vow to prevent anything like it happening again.

"It's only when 50 get put into Martha's Vineyard that the outrage starts," said host Emily Compagno.
