Mike Rounds (R-SD) said that Republican governors are sending a message about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/border-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">border crisis<\/a> by transporting migrants to sanctuary cities.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/videos\/politics\/2022\/09\/18\/gop-sen-mike-rounds-response-migrants-sent-to-north-sotu-tapper-vpx.cnn\">CNN<\/a>\u2018s \u201cState of the Union\u201d Sunday, Rounds said that Florida Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/ron-desantis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ron DeSantis<\/a> (R) and Texas Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/greg-abbott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greg Abbott<\/a> (R) are \u201cdoing their best\u201d to deal with the influx of migrants at the southern border by using buses to draw attention to the problem. Rounds said his own state, 1200 miles away, is dealing with the consequences of illegal immigration, so the governors are doing what they can to emphasize unlawful crossings and the Biden administration\u2019s lack of action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[DeSantis and Abbott are] doing their best to try to send a message to the rest of the nation about the plight of those individuals that are coming from south of the border,\u201d Rounds told host Jake Tapper. \u201cYou\u2019re talking about 3.4 million people just since the start of this Biden Administration that have crossed the border. They\u2019re coming into southern states. What is a governor supposed to do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re trying to send a message to the rest of the country that this is not acceptable, and that their states can\u2019t handle that type of an inflow,\u201d he continued. \u201cThat\u2019s an equivalent of four times the population of my state of South Dakota. But Jake, it\u2019s more than that. It\u2019s also everything else come across the border at the same time. We\u2019re 1200 miles away from the border in South Dakota, yet the drug trafficking affects our state as well. Our Native American population, reservations have got huge inflows of drug trafficking coming into our state, into some of the heaviest poverty areas of the entire country. It\u2019s affecting the states but the administration isn\u2019t doing anything about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/governor-abbott-to-the-biden-admin-if-they-will-not-go-to-the-border-were-taking-the-border-to-them\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abbott<\/a> said in an interview on Friday with Fox News that he began the busing initiative for the express purpose of bringing the border crisis directly to the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have small communities of about 25,000 people who have thousands of illegal immigrants dumped into their community,\u201d said Abbott. \u201cAnd so, they were begging for relief. And that\u2019s exactly why we began this busing operation to Washington, D.C.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so, if [the Biden administration] will not go to the border, we\u2019re taking the border to them so they can see the challenges they\u2019re opposing to the entire United States of America,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-hammers-biden-for-scrambling-to-respond-to-marthas-vineyard-but-not-to-these-crises\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DeSantis<\/a> pinned the blame squarely on the Biden administration\u2019s failure to enforce the law at the border. \u201cThis is a massive policy failure by the president,\u201d DeSantis said Friday. \u201cThis is a massive and intentional policy that is causing huge amount of damage all across the country. And it\u2019s all rooted in a failure to take care that the laws are faithfully executed and to fulfill his oath of office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis added that his decision to fly 50 illegal migrants to Martha\u2019s Vineyard prompted more coverage from legacy media reporters than \u201chave ever gone down to the southern border to look what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
