Opinion: Stop using migrants as political pawns
Newsom recently went on a Southern-state swing to American jurisdictions unlikely to be in his corner during any White House bid to tout his California as the true redoubt of freedom on a rather poorly reviewed junket.
But you could also point to much earlier inter-state pointless politicking, such as when former Texas Gov. Rick Perry used to swagger into the Golden State to lobby our businesses to come to the Lone Star State on trips that had more to do with national politics than anything else. Now it’s Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a candidate for the Republican nomination for president, and his flying Latin American migrants on a private plane from near the Mexico border to Sacramento in order to make an annoying and grandstanding national political point.
It has to be a national point that he is hoping to make, because it is not as if Californians are unaware of the fact that there’s a terrible crisis at the border, and that many immigrants are clamoring to come into the United States for work rather than stay to face the economic and humanitarian crises in their own countries.
