We did not coordinate nor would we coordinate,\u201d Jenkins fired back, noting that there had been an official press release that was sent out to multiple news organizations, embargoed until the migrants were scheduled to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did not have much details,\u201d Jenkins continued, going on to point out the fact that other news organizations had also been on the scene when the migrants began to disembark. \u201cIt\u2019s just a charge that holds no water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCNN and MSNBC immediately sent reporters to Martha\u2019s Vineyard,\u201d Kurtz continued. \u201cPresident Biden said this is playing politics with human beings, reckless and unAmerican. Many pundits are criticizing it as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jenkins pushed back, noting that he had been covering the U.S.-Mexico border for years \u2014 and that his goal had always been to shed light on the crisis there. \u201cI even went to the Panamanian jungle \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kurtz asked how that coverage related to the current concern \u2014 namely the migrants who were being hand-delivered by Republican governors to self-proclaimed sanctuary cities and states \u2014 and Jenkins said that the governors were only trying to drive an important message home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDel Rio has a population of 35,000. They had 50,000 migrants come there in July,\u201d Jenkins explained. He later added, \u201cIn one case, the city of El Paso sending nearly 2,000 migrants on 50 buses to New York, there\u2019s no criticism there. But yet 50 drop in the tiny island paradise of Martha\u2019s Vineyard, and the tiny island paradise is brought to its knees?
