White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre calls Republicans sending migrants up to northern states "petty" and "dangerous" stunts. This comes after Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida and Governor Greg Abbott of Texas transported migrants to northern sanctuary cities.
JEAN-PIERRE: “We are offering solutions. That's what the Biden-Harris Administration has been doing since day one, including on the first day putting forth a comprehensive immigration reform to deal with this issue. We have given DHS record funding. We have advanced policies. What have they done? They do these political stunts. They vote against our funding requests. They vote against policies to fix this broken system. Stunts aren't solutions here. Stunts aren't policies. We're over here trying to govern, trying to actually fix a system that has been broken for some time, trying to fix a system that was decimated by the last administration and all we're seeing from them is petty and dangerous stunts. This is dangerous. They're putting children's lives at risk. They're putting families lives at risk. And again, I'll say to Republicans again, and if they are interested in solving the problem, there are many ways to do this. They should vote for record funding that we have put forth or DHS, and they should sign on or work with us on a comprehensive immigration reform. Again, something that this President did on his first day.”
