During a press briefing on Friday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre equated GOP governors relocating illegal immigrants to Democrat-run areas with smugglers in "places like Mexico and Guatemala."
Jean-Pierre said, "These vulnerable migrants were reportedly misled about where they were heading. Told they would be headed to Boston. Misled about what they would be provided when they arrived. Promised shelter, refuge benefits, and more. These are the kinds of tactics we see from smugglers in places like Mexico and Guatemala."
When President Joe Biden took office he dramatically loosened restrictions along the southern border which created a humanitarian crisis that has led to historic drug and human trafficking. In 2021 a record number of 1,659,206 illegal immigrants crossed the southern border, and Joe Biden secretly shipped many of those migrants to locations across the US.
Biden's border crisis has seen a record-high number of illegal immigrants pouring into the United States and there have already been more than two million encounters in the 2022 fiscal year.
Savanah Hernandez writing for The Post Millennial in August reported that Biden's secret night flights included a vast number of children, thousands per week.
The Biden administration was bussing and flying tens of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children throughout the US and handing them off to unvetted adult "sponsors."
As governors like Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis work to relieve the historic flow of illegal immigration into the country, blue city mayors have lamented the modest influx of illegal immigrants as overwhelming. In Washington, DC, Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a public emergency last week to handle an increase of 9400 migrants. In NYC, Mayor Eric Adams said the increase is causing him to reconsider the state's "right to shelter" laws.
Ron DeSantis sent 50 illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard two days ago and in response, they called in the National Guard to remove the migrants from their island.
