It’s exhausting to think about a much bigger spectacle of American political failure than this week’s histrionics over migrants. GOP Governors used political stunts to attract consideration to the burden of dealing with runaway migration on the border, whereas Democrats pretended to be horrified and alter the topic from their very own border failures. Migrants have change into political props for each events.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey have been sending migrants to Democratic cities since Might to make a political level about their struggles with unchecked migration. This week Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis escalated, as is his style, by flying about 50 Venezuelans to Martha’s Winery off the Massachusetts coast. Mr. Abbott then bused 100 overseas nationals to Vice President Kamala Harris’s residence in Washington.
