DeSantis fires back at Biden: 'Every COVID variant on this planet' is coming through his open border

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis responded on Wednesday's "Ingraham Angle" to President Biden, who demanded he and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott “help or get out of the way” of administration efforts to mitigate the coronavirus.

DeSantis told host Laura Ingraham that some of the migrants crossing into Texas have explicitly expressed a desire to travel to Florida, which he said is unacceptable. He added that he like other governors are not being told when illegal immigrants are being transported, often on taxpayers' dime, to his state: "They don't tell us. We try to do investigations. Sometimes we have gotten some documents and put 2 and 2 together. They do fly in… unaccompanied minors and a lot of military age males coming through the border," he said. "You have law enforcement there helping Governor Abbott. They said of the illegal border crossers they come in contact with, a majority of them want to end up in Florida. We are working on strategies to be able to deter that." DeSantis said the issues in America under Biden transcend the pandemic, but intrinsically endanger national security.
