Ron DeSantis is in a knockdown drag-out fight with the governor of California, Gavin Newsom, this time on illegal immigration.

Ron DeSantis went to the southern border for a visit, which is a smart political move because immigration is a massive national issue and it has affected the state of Florida. He's gotten involved in that issue by asking these migrants where they wish to go and then sending them to places like Martha's Vineyard — places where the Left declared sanctuary cities with the expectation that no one would ever arrive.

Then when people arrived, the Left wailed, No, no, no, no, no! Get 'em out of here.

That's happened in California as well. Florida has been sending illegal immigrants to California, where Gavin Newsom declared a sanctuary city; everyone is welcome here.

But not you: Get out.

DeSantis was asked about that. He stated:

These sanctuary jurisdictions are part of the reason we have this problem, because they have endorsed and agitated for these types of open-border policies. They have bragged that they are sanctuary jurisdictions. They attack previous administrations' efforts to try to have border security. … And then, when they have to deal with some of the fruits of that, they all of a sudden become very, very upset about that.

What are these people having to deal with here? Yeah, I don't see the sympathy for them. … The reality is, I think the border should be closed. I don't think we should have any of this. But if there is a policy to have an open border, then I think the sanctuary jurisdictions should be the ones that have to bear that.

That makes sense. Why should those people on the border be forced to take in hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants while Gavin Newsom sits in his plush pleasure palaces and decides who gets in and who does not get in?

Newsom is saying that he wants to prosecute DeSantis. He suggests potential kidnapping charges. Apparently, it's now kidnapping to send people where they want to go. There is actual video footage of these migrants saying that they are very grateful to be put on planes to California.

Newsom called DeSantis' move "sad and pathetic," bragging, "We mean business. And so Ron DeSantis should know that. And everyone that's been part of this — and they may have more direct accountability and culpability — should know we mean business. And we're not backing away from getting the facts and holding those accountable if they broke the laws of the state of California."

So just to make clear: California is a place where if you are a parent who wants to trans your kid, you can take the kid, run to California — away from the other parent who has no say in the matter — and California will grant you sanctuary so that you can trans your kid. California will also make sure that it's a sanctuary city unless you actually take them up on the offer, at which point they will sue you for kidnapping.

LISTEN NOW

As a person from California, let me just say that there are many illegal immigrants in California. It makes a lot of sense considering that California has raised taxes to benefit illegal immigrants throughout the state, putting the state in the deficit. It's a pretty good place for illegal immigrants to go since it's essentially the home of illegal immigration in the United States.

When asked about the White House's position on whether Florida sending migrants to California amounts to kidnapping, Karine Jean-Pierre responded, saying:

So, one of the things — and you've heard me say this multiple times from here — is about what these political stunts and what they mean: They're dangerous and they're unacceptable. I said this yesterday and I'll say this again. And we've seen them happen over the last couple of months, and all they do is cause confusion. And why is it they want to cause chaos and confusion?

So they want to cause chaos? It's you, Biden administration. You're in charge of the federal border. The federal government is in charge of the federal border. You ship people all over the United States, all over the United States as the federal government. But if DeSantis or Greg Abbott do it to Chicago, New York, or L.A., that's when you guys start to get real whiny about it.

Shocking.
