(The Guardian) Call it a magical mystery tour… migrants being sent on buses from Texas to New York by the lone star state’s governor Greg Abbott in protest at Joe Biden’s immigration policies are being moved on to Florida.
That’s according to Fox 5 New York, which interviewed the city’s commissioner of immigration Manuel Castro on its Good Day New York show on Wednesday.
Castro says many of those arriving from Texas don’t want to be there, and have ties elsewhere: Many want to go to places like Florida, where the largest community of Venezuelans live. We’re helping them get to their actual final destination. We’re doing our best.
The move probably isn’t going to go down too well with Florida’s hardline Republican governor and frequent Biden critic Ron DeSantis, who likes what he sees coming out of Texas and has been mulling his own plan to bus undocumented Cuban migrants from Florida to Washington DC. “All states and all cities have a role to play here, not just New York and Chicago and other places,” Castro told Fox 5.
