President Joe Biden blasted the Republican governors of Texas and Florida on Thursday for “playing politics with human beings” by bussing migrants from the southern border to places considered to be liberal cities and communities in the North.
āRepublicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props. What theyāre doing is simply wrong, itās un-American, itās reckless,ā Biden said during his speech at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute gala, according to Newsweek.
āAnd we have a process in place to manage migrants at the border. Weāre working to make sure itās safe and orderly and humane,ā Biden continued. āRepublican officials should not interfere with that process by waging these political stunts.ā
The White House also criticized the governors’ move calling it, ādisrespectful to humanity.”
“It doesnāt afford them any dignity, what theyāre doing, when youāre abandoning families and children in a place where they were told they were going to get housing, in a place where they were told they were going to get jobs. It is just cruel,ā press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
On Wednesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planes loaded with migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachsussetts, while Abbott sent two buses of migrants to Vice President Harrisās residence in Washington.
