Adams discussed the migrants on Martha’s Vineyard and how they are being bused into Washington D.C., New York, and other U.S. cities. Jake Tapper from CNN told Adams that he felt that President Biden’s attention should be given to the southern border crisis. 

“No. I believe it’s a crisis that needs more coordination from our country,” Adams responded. “This is one country – this is a country that’s always been capable of handling those who are seeking to participate in American dream. It should include coordination at the federal, state and local levels. Our team also attempted to reach Governor Abbott. We reached out to El Paso Mayor. They declined to coordinate in any formal way. They think the politics of treating people in an inhumane manner to cover up, I believe, what they’ve done around human rights, the erosion of it for these last few years is what they believe is the best way to handle it. He stated, “I disagree.”

GOVERNORS OF THE GOP GO ON THE OFFENSIVE IN CONTACT WITH HISTORIC BIDENERA BORDER CRISIS

“When I saw what had happened to Martha’s Vineyard and the vice president’s house, it showed clearly that this wasn’t coming from Florida. DeSantis was saying that these were migrants that were here in Florida. This is part of an elaborate political plot. That’s what we need to understand. “This is to cover up both the erosion in human rights that those governors have been involved in and their attempts to show other methods that they are eroding individuals’ human rights,” he said. 

Scott Jennings, a CNN political commentator, stated that sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard was meant “to make an even larger point about burden sharing.” 

“The border crisis is a burden being fully carried by Texas, Arizona and the towns down there. That was the point. I’m not typically a fan of government by trolling. But you know I feel trolled every day when I see the White House press secretary and the vice president and the president tell the American people, ‘Oh, the border is secure, there is no problem.’ That’s the point, and they made it and we’re talking about it. Jennings stated that the mission was accomplished. 

Danielle Gibbs Léger, a former senior adviser to Barack Obama and the executive vice president of Communications and Strategy for American Progress, pushed back on Jennings during CNN’s “State of the Union” and said the migrants were They are used as “political players.”  

She said, “This is the columniation MAGA extremism taking control of this party.” They were misled, and these migrants were lied too. They believed they were going to another country and were offered appointments all over the country for Monday. So they’re setting them up for failure.”

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) told Chuck Todd on NBC that DeSantis was using migrants to “political ends.”

Durbin added, “It’s pathetic that they are taking advantage of them, promising them to get on the bus and everything will be fine, and they take off to places far from where they should be appearing according to the requirements of our laws in a matter weeks or months.” Durbin stated that each governor’s decision jeopardizes their stay in the United States. 

Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas, said to CBS’ Margaret Brennan, that the U.S. needed “solutions” rather than “not theatre.” 

“By sending people off to New York City and Chicago, it does draw attention. But I — we want more to focus on solutions at the border. Cuellar stated that we had to give Border Patrol the equipment and Homeland Security the equipment. “If we don’t have repercussions on the border, we will continue to get 8,000 people a daily,” Cuellar added.  

He stated that migrants must be treated like humans and claimed that “they are being used by the political pawns to obtain publicity.”
