Mexican president slams DeSantis-backed bill meant to deter illegal immigration as 'immoral'
Fox News
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Monday reportedly criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for "politicking" on the platform of migrants.
"Why does [DeSantis] have to take advantage of people’s pain, of migrants’ pain, of people’s need for political gain," López Obrador asked at the press conference Monday, referring to the immigration bill passed by the Florida legislature last week that would, in part, allocate $12 million for DeSantis's migrant relocation program. "This is immoral. This is politicking." Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

"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?"
