Biden says Republicans are 'playing politics with human beings' after DeSantis and Abbott send migrants to Martha's Vineyard and DC
CNN
President Joe Biden criticized state Republican officials who have been sending migrants north this year to protest his administration's immigration policies, accusing them of "playing politics with human beings."
"Instead of working with us on solutions, Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props. What they're doing is simply wrong. It's un-American, it's reckless and we have a process in place to manage migrants at the border. We're working to make sure it's safe and orderly and humane. Republican officials should not interfere with that process by waging these political stunts," Biden told attendees at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala on Thursday evening.
He added: "It's long overdue for Senate Republicans to come to the table and provide a pathway for citizenship for Dreamers, those in temporary status, farmworkers and essential workers. We need to modernise our laws so businesses get workers they need, and families don't have to wait decades to be brought back together. It's time to get it done."
