Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Monday reportedly criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for 'politicking' on the platform of migrants.
Former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus joins 'America Reports' to discuss Biden's plan to deploy 1,500 troops to the southern border as the end of Title 42 looms.
"Now I found out that the Florida governor — imagine, Florida, which is full of migrants — is taking repressive, inhumane measures against migrants in Florida because he wants to be a candidate," López Obrador added, according to Politico."Can’t he not make another proposal to convince people?" The initiative drew national attention last year when DeSantis flew a group of South American migrants from Texas to the liberal enclave ofwhich had touted broad support for sanctuary policies. Local leadership quickly claimed the wealthy islanders did not have enough resources to support the migrants, who were bussed to a military base in Cape Cod.
Taking a different tune Monday, López Obrador said he and Biden on Tuesday will discuss development programs to help stem the flow of migrants to the U.S. border.
