The governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, announced this Tuesday that he will send more aid to Texas, which is governed by Republican Greg Abbott, to secure the southern border of the United States from a, until now probable, increase in the irregular migratory flow due to the end of Title 42 and the beginning of Title 8. The Joe Biden government is supposed to deploy 1,500 soldiers on the border, but DeSantis considers that the management of the president of the United States has been chaotic.
Recently, the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, denounced that Ron DeSantis is taking repressive, inhumane measures against migrants in Florida because he wants to be a presidential candidate for the Republican party. Among the new immigration measures in Florida are up to 15 years in prison “for collaborating with illegal migration” or for transporting irregular immigrants to Florida.
The governor of Florida and favorite to be the candidate for the presidency by the Republican Party, affirmed that last week will see a massive disaster with the expiration of Title 42. “We will send people to help in that immigration control effort,” DeSantis said before which it foresees the relaxation of surveillance tasks in the state of Texas.
The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, deployed the week of the end of Title 42 a new unit of the US National Guard that will operate with helicopters on the Texas border to prevent the irregular entry of immigrants. In addition, Abbott assured this week that he has sent more than 17,000 immigrants to Washington, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, all of them cities governed by the Democrats, as part of his immigration pressure campaign.
According to Abbott, more than 9,200 people have been sent to the capital Washington, more than 5,700 to New York, more than 1,600 to Chicago and more than 925 to Philadelphia since 2022. Recently, the mayor of the Big Apple, Eric Adams, has denounced this measure because these cities and their care services are saturated by the arrival of migrants.
