The program to relocate migrants from Florida to Democratic-led states is going to continue according to a spokesman for the politician.
In order to make a political statement about illegal immigration and advocate for closed-border policies, a flight of 49 Venezuela migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, was coordinated by the team of DeSantis and his associates. Democrats criticized the move and opened up investigations.
During a campaign event in Coral Springs, Florida, on Sunday, he bashed the Biden administration over its immigration policies, as well as mentioning the Martha's Vineyard incident.
When millions of people crossed the border, they didn't pay attention to the problem. The only time they care is that.
Donald Trump's border policies required migrants to wait in Mexico for their immigration appointments in the US, and that's something I agree with.
"President Trump was right to just have them wait at the border, most of the claims get denied, and then they've got to go back to the other countries."
The flight stunts will continue according to Taryn Fenske. The program is active as officials respond to Hurricane Ian which devastated Florida and other southeastern states.
Fenske told the Associated Press that the immigration relocation program is still active even though Florida has had all hands on deck.
Florida paid $1 million to set up two more flights to Delaware and Illinois. The flights were supposed to happen before October 3 but will now happen before December 1.
After rumors that he would send flights to President Joe Biden's home state of Delaware, there was speculation that more migrant relocations would happen.
Although Republican-led efforts to transport migrants across the country have helped bolster GOP talking points on immigration and border policy, the stunts may open up legal avenues for those transported to receive temporary visas.
Insider's request for comment was not responded to by a spokesman for the congressman.
