<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-hampshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Hampshire</a> is sending two National Guard units to assist the worsening <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border crisis</a>.
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said in a press release Monday that the two units would be dispatched to the border in response to a federal mobilization order from the Department of Defense. This is the second time in two years that the Granite State has sent National Guardsmen to assist U.S. Customs and Border Patrol at the border, as the crisis continues under the Biden administration.
“New Hampshire is grateful for the heroic men and women of our National Guard,” Sununu said in the <a href="https://www.governor.nh.gov/news-and-media/two-nh-national-guard-units-deploy-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a>. “They answered the call to serve during the COVID pandemic, and are now answering our nation’s call — deploying to the ongoing humanitarian crisis along our southern border. As these brave men and women deploy, New Hampshire stands by our National Guard and we wish everyone a safe and speedy return home.”
According to the release, approximately 44 soldiers from the 941st Military Police Battalion headquarters will be deployed to a sector of the border approximately 250 miles long that extends to the Gulf of Mexico. From there, those soldiers will be deployed to provide command and control over four other subordinate companies from New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Kentucky, approximately 500 soldiers in total. The border deployment is the unit&#8217;s first.
In addition to the 941st Battalion, another group of soldiers, approximately 120, from the 237th Military Police Company, will also be deployed, primarily to surveillance sites along the same sector. The guardsmen will communicate with Border Patrol agents, identifying and notifying agents of any illegal border crossings, to assist their efforts to stem the flow of migrants, illegal drugs, weapons, and money. However, the soldiers are prohibited from actually interacting with border crossers.
Both units will be deployed for a year.
Both units supported New Hampshire&#8217;s response efforts during the height of the COVID pandemic, assisted the <a href="https://www.nationalguard.mil/News/Article/2470087/nh-guard-members-backstop-state-prison-corrections-officers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Department of Corrections</a> during a staffing shortage at state prisons in 2021, supported local hospitals, and responded to <a href="https://www.unionleader.com/news/safety/national-guard-to-be-on-standby-in-manchester-man-accused-of-encouraging-riot/article_9a9721d9-86e2-52ee-bc3e-90b297a9e3d4.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">civil disturbances</a> during the protests after the death of George Floyd. The 237th company also previously deployed to Afghanistan in 2012 and 2013.
The press release also noted that a previous National Guard unit deployed to the southwest border between October 2020 and November 2021; the soldiers on that deployment assisted in more than 200,000 apprehensions, drug seizures totaling more than $893 million, and 20 migrant lives saved.
Local news outlet <a href="https://www.wmur.com/article/new-hampshire-national-guard-us-mexico-border-2022/41495733" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WMUR</a> reported Monday that the deployment came in response to a federal mobilization order from the Department of Defense. More than 12 states deployed Guard units from their state to assist the effort, Sununu told WMUR. The Guard&#8217;s presence &#8220;will allow the agents to focus more on the ground and dealing with people coming directly across the border,&#8221; New Hampshire National Guard spokesman Greg Heilshorn told the outlet.
The border crisis has continued to escalate under the Biden administration. Authorities made more than <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2022/09/19/u-s-mexico-border-arrests-record-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">two million arrests</a> of illegal immigrants at the border during fiscal year 2022, the first time border officials crossed that threshold.
In September, House Republicans sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding answers after reports surfaced that Venezuela was sending <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-demand-answers-from-biden-admin-over-reports-that-violent-sick-convicts-headed-to-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criminals</a> across the border. In addition to the flow of migrants, lethal drugs like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dea-issues-warning-over-emerging-trend-of-rainbow-fentanyl-across-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fentanyl</a> have also been pouring across the border at high rates.

Governor <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/greg-abbott/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greg Abbott</a> (R-TX) responded Tuesday after the news broke that a Texas National Guard soldier — serving as part of the state&#8217;s southern border initiative Operation Lone Star — had died by suspected suicide.
According to <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2022/10/04/texas-national-guard-suicide-operation-lone-star/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> from The Army Times and The Texas Tribune, the soldier died at 8:20 Tuesday morning after shooting himself with an M4-Carbine, his assigned duty weapon. His name has not yet been released to the public.
Abbott shared a statement confirming that the soldier had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and offering his condolences, saying, &#8220;We ask all Texans to join us in praying for the soldier&#8217;s family during this heartbreaking time.&#8221;

&#8220;Cecilia and I are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic loss of a soldier with the Texas National Guard. Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of the soldier. Texas Rangers are leading the investigation, as the Texas National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety coordinate with local law enforcement,&#8221; the statement began.
Abbott went on to encourage any others who might be struggling to reach out and ask for help.
&#8220;And for any Texan who is in crisis, we urge you to seek help immediately from a family member, loved one, or a mental health service,&#8221; the governor added.
He concluded by sharing resources for both <a href="https://tmd.texas.gov/crisis-support-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">military</a> and <a href="https://www.hhs.texas.gov/services/mental-health-substance-use" target="_blank" rel="noopener">civilian</a> mental health services.
According to the Tribune&#8217;s report, if this latest death were officially ruled a suicide, it would be the first to be linked to Operation Lone Star since December. The joint border-security mission – which has Texas Department of Public Safety officials working alongside the National Guard — became the subject of an Army Times investigation when four soldiers died by suicide within eight weeks after the initiative was expanded in September of 2021.
In the months that followed, five more service members connected to the mission died —two were killed in accidental shootings, one drowned attempting to rescue two struggling migrants, one died of a blood clot,  and one died in a motorcycle accident — making a total of nine until Tuesday morning&#8217;s reported suicide brought the number up to ten.

Norwegian Cruise Line confirmed that the company has been in discussions with New York City to house migrants relocating to the city, though no official decision has yet been made.
The cruise line first shared the details in a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/norwegian-cruise-line-says-nyc-reached-out-house-migrants-cruise-ship-final-deal-not-yet-made" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to Fox News Digital on Saturday.
&#8220;The chartering of cruise ships to companies, government entities and other organizations for various uses is a standard business practice across our industry,&#8221; a spokesperson for the Norwegian Cruise Line said.
&#8220;While we can confirm that New York City has approached us about a potential charter of a cruise vessel, no agreement has been reached and we cannot speculate about the outcome of any ongoing business discussions,&#8221; the spokesperson added.
New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams first noted last month that migrants bused to his city could temporarily live on cruise ships. The development was revealed during an interview on CBS2’s “The Point with Marcia Kramer” broadcast.
“[W]e examined everything from the legality of using any type of cruise ship for temporary housing. We’re looking at everything to see, how do we deal with this?” Adams <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/681-22/transcript-mayor-eric-adams-appears-wcbs-s-point-marcia-kramer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Kramer.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“We are predicted with the influx of opening, probably, 38 additional emergency shelters. So we have to find temporary measures to address this issue,” he later added.
A <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/09/30/adams-close-to-deal-for-norwegian-cruise-ship-full-of-migrants-in-nyc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">second cruise line</a>, Estonia&#8217;s Tallink, has also reportedly been in discussions with the city regarding housing migrants on a cruise ship. Tallink previously housed Ukrainian refugees in Estonia earlier this year.
New York City has already opened a &#8220;tent city&#8221; to house migrants coming to the Big Apple. After originally opening a center at Orchard Beach, flooding concerns have led to the announcement of moving the tent location to the Icahn Stadium parking lot.
&#8220;Following this weekend&#8217;s storms, New York City Emergency Management determined that, while we would be able to put in place the necessary ponding mitigation measures, relocating the Orchard Beach humanitarian relief center to Randall&#8217;s Island is the most efficient and effective path forward, and work is underway to make this move,&#8221; Adams said in a <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/718-22/mayor-adams-on-city-s-humanitarian-emergency-response-relief-center-asylum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> Monday night.
The city claims more than 16,000 people have gone through its shelter intake process in recent months. The tent location will house up to 500 migrants at a time, according to the mayor&#8217;s statement.
Texas reported last week that it had bused more than 8,100 migrants to Washington, D.C., since April, over 2,900 migrants to New York City since August 5, and more than 870 migrants to Chicago since August 31.
&#8220;The busing mission is providing much-needed relief to our overwhelmed border communities,&#8221; according to a <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/es/news/post/operation-lone-star-stops-human-smuggling-attempts-at-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> from Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX).
Adams blasted Abbott over the migrant busing situation last month during an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-mayor-calls-migrant-busing-an-american-crisis-blames-republican-governors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday.
“These migrants and asylum seekers are not coming to any particular city, they’re coming to America,” the mayor argued, adding, “This is an American crisis that we need to face – a humanitarian crisis that were made by human hands by some of the governors in our southern states.”

House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) faced backlash Friday afternoon after she was accused of exploiting migrants for cheap labor by stating at a press conference that migrants were needed to “pick the crops.”
Pelosi’s comments were in apparent reference to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) sending 50 illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard earlier this month, a move that enraged the political Left.
“Right now, the best thing that we can do for our economy is comprehensive immigration reform,” Pelosi said. “We have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers saying: ‘Why are you shipping these immigrants up north? We need them to pick the crops down here.’”
Pelosi&#8217;s remarks generated some of the following responses from notable figures:
<ul>
<li>Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ): “It’s clear Pelosi and Democrats are exploiting illegal aliens and only view them as cheap labor. This is what real racism looks like.”</li>
<li>Caleb Hull, digital strategist: &#8220;I want you to imagine for a second what would happen if Trump said &#8216;we need the immigrants down south to pick our crops&#8217; instead of Pelosi.&#8221;</li>
<li>Miranda Devine, author: &#8220;Apart from the fact she can&#8217;t speak properly, and is nasty, it&#8217;s illegal to employ illegal migrants. It&#8217;s also disastrous for a country not to make a distinction between legal and illegal migration. At least we have less than six weeks left of this piece of Pelosi.&#8221;</li>
<li>Will Cain, Fox News host: &#8220;So this isn’t racist? No? Is it because she’s a Democrat? Also, yes she sounds like a plantation owner, but what she’s advocating for is literally illegal!&#8221;</li>
<li>Rich Lowry, author: &#8220;A massive and uncontrolled wave of illegal immigration isn’t a solution to anything, but this is how they think.&#8221;</li>
<li>The Federation for American Immigration Reform: &#8220;For Democrats, mass immigration checks two boxes: 1. More future voters 2. Cheap foreign labor.&#8221;</li>

Pelosi Accused Of Exploiting Migrants For Cheap Labor: ‘We Need Them To Pick The Crops’

Biden Administration

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Clinton</a> (D) told CNN this week that there was a limit to how many migrants the U.S. can take in before the country experiences a severe disruption which flies in the face of what other Democrats have advocated for.
Clinton&#8217;s remarks come after U.S. Customs and Border Protection <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/calling-biden-number-of-arrests-of-illegal-immigrants-reaches-record-one-year-high">detained</a> 203,598 immigrants who entered the United States from Mexico in August. If that rate of illegal immigration continues, over 2.3 million arrests would have been made between the end of September 2021 and September 2022, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/09/19/us-border-patrol-arrests/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=wp_main&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Washington Post.
Clinton told podcast host Fareed Zakaria, &#8220;There is a limit to how many migrants any society can take without severe disruption and assistance, and our system is based much more on an assumption that things would be more normal.&#8221;
Clinton&#8217;s remarks come after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aoc-responds-to-illegal-immigration-crisis-we-have-more-than-enough-to-care-for-everyone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that the U.S., which is tens of trillions of dollars in debt, “is the wealthiest nation in the world and we have more than enough to care for everyone.&#8221;
Clinton noted that the immigration challenges the U.S. faces now are drastically different than how the situation was when he was growing up.
&#8220;It’s an old story, but now you&#8217;ve got the largest number of refugees since World War II because of Syria and now Ukraine and other problems,&#8221; he said.
Clinton also made sure to attack Republican governors for shipping illegal immigrants to deep-blue sanctuary cities throughout the country that only have to deal with a fraction of what Republican areas in the south have to deal with.
&#8220;What’s happening in Venezuela, more than 2 million refugees pouring into first Colombia then nearby countries, has created unprecedented new challenges and meanwhile provides opportunities for stunts like Gov. Abbott’s — sending his refugees to some place that he thinks is advocating for a broad-minded policy that it doesn’t have to live with,&#8221; Clinton said.
The former impeached president claimed that DeSantis sending illegal immigrants to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard &#8220;may come back to haunt him a little bit.&#8221;
DeSantis has strongly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-shreds-claims-that-illegal-immigrants-were-falsely-lured-into-going-to-marthas-vineyard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed back</a> against any claims that the illegal immigrants were tricked into going to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard after Democrats falsely accused him of engaging in kidnapping and human trafficking.
“I think if you look, the folks that are contracted, not only do they give them a release form to sign, they actually give them a packet and in that packet included a map of Martha’s Vineyard,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;So it was obvious that that’s where they were going and they gave that to them.”
“And here’s the thing, it’s all voluntary, because it’s just the type of thing where we think that’s the right way to do it,” DeSantis continued. “I mean, I think that if the states could send, I would send back to Mexico or back to the home country. But here we are doing it voluntarily, they sign a release, and then they get a packet. So they did get a packet that had the map of Martha’s Vineyard. And they’re also treated, you know very well with all this, I mean, they’re treated well with meals and everything.”
“What’s not humane, is what Biden is doing, he’s given a false promise, the border’s open, luring people to come here for political purposes, and then basically cutting these people loose and leaving them high and dry,” DeSantis continued. “What he should say is, ‘our border’s not open. You know, there’s ways to apply to come to this country, but just simply barreling across the border is not one of them.’ And I think you can trace all this back to him coming to office and reversing President Trump’s policies, not because Trump’s policies were wrong, it was all just a big virtue signal, because they don’t like Trump. So they have to do everything the opposite of him.”

Cruz joined Fox News host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/jesse-watters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse Watters</a> for the Tuesday broadcast of &#8220;Jesse Watters Primetime,&#8221; and he addressed the ongoing crisis at the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/texas-democrat-says-biden-admin-needs-to-turn-more-people-away-at-border/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S.-Mexico border</a> — an issue about which he said &#8220;Joe Biden doesn&#8217;t give a damn.&#8221;

&#8220;Look, I know that Democrats have one card in their entire deck, and it&#8217;s the race card. They scream racist, racist, racist,&#8221; Cruz began.
&#8220;But you know what, President Obama, you know what, President Biden? You know what&#8217;s racist?&#8221; Cruz asked. &#8220;When Joe Biden sits by and lets four and a half million people cross into this country illegally and he doesn&#8217;t care. You know what&#8217;s racist? When Joe Biden can&#8217;t be bothered to go down to the border and see the little girls and little boys being sexually assaulted by international cartels.&#8221;
&#8220;You know what&#8217;s racist?&#8221; Cruz continued without stopping to take a breath. &#8220;When Joe Biden doesn&#8217;t care about the Hispanic women being raped by the cartels. You know what&#8217;s racist? When Biden doesn&#8217;t care about the dead bodies that the cartels leave on Texas farms and ranches across the southern border. You know what&#8217;s racist? That Biden will do nothing to stop the 100,000 fentanyl overdoses that happened last year.&#8221;
&#8220;That is grotesque — and you know what&#8217;s racist?&#8221; Cruz added one more example. &#8220;When all the lily-white folks on Martha&#8217;s Vineyard sit back and say, &#8216;No, no, no, we don&#8217;t want any illegal immigrants here. Send them to South Texas, they can deal with it.’ That is grotesque, it&#8217;s offensive, and even to this day Joe Biden doesn&#8217;t give a damn.&#8221;
Watters responded to Cruz&#8217;s lengthy rant by saying he hadn&#8217;t seen the Texas Senator get quite that worked up in a very long time — and Cruz explained that even though Biden had not been to the border and seen firsthand the women and children who were being raped and trafficked by coyotes and cartels, he had.
Cruz concluded by noting that when the illegal immigrants were flown into Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, authorities there had moved to &#8220;deport&#8221; them to a military base within 24 hours — and he wondered whether Texas could do the same.
&#8220;Can we send them back?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;Oh, no, no, no, that&#8217;s just for rich billionaire leftists who the only time they&#8217;re willing to see an immigrant is if they want someone to mow their damn lawn.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california">California</a> Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a package of bills related to undocumented residents last week that includes approval of state identification for migrants in the state.
Newsom signed the bill, <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB1766" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AB 1766</a>, that directs California&#8217;s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue a restricted identification card to eligible participants by no later than July 1, 2027.
“California is expanding opportunity for everyone, regardless of immigration status,” Newsom said in a <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/09/23/california-ids-for-all/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
“We’re a state of refuge – a majority-minority state, where 27 percent of us are immigrants. That’s why I’m proud to announce the signing of today’s bills to further support our immigrant community, which makes our state stronger every single day,&#8221; he added.

The text of the new law states, &#8220;This bill would specify that immigration enforcement, as defined, does not constitute an urgent health and safety need for those purposes, and would prohibit a government agency or department, law enforcement agency, commercial entity, or other person from obtaining, accessing, using, or otherwise disclosing, noncriminal history information maintained by the department, for the purpose of immigration enforcement.&#8221;
The change would prohibit the DMV from using migrant status as a factor in obtaining state identification.
The law follows a controversy in the state in 2018 in which 1,500 people were improperly registered to vote in California by the DMV, including non-citizens. Then-California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D), who is now a U.S. Senator, said he did not know if any of those registered had voted in the state&#8217;s June 2018 primary election.
Approximately 1,500 people told the DMV they were ineligible or didn’t confirm their eligibility during the registration period, <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/local/2018/10/10/california-elections-official-does-not-know-if-non-citizens-have-voted/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> the Associated Press. This group included at least one non-citizen living in the state in addition to other potential violations. People under 18 were also reportedly included, along with some who may have been ineligible due to a past criminal conviction.
Other bills signed in the package of laws for undocumented residents include a variety of measures on behalf of immigrants living in the state.
&#8220;Immigrant students will have improved access to in-state tuition at public colleges and universities, and to ESL courses at community colleges. Additionally, immigrant student borrowers will have more options to finance their college educations,&#8221; the news release added.
The controversial change as part of SB 1141 will offer in-state tuition at California public universities to qualified undocumented residents in the state, offering &#8220;exemption from payment of nonresident tuition.&#8221;
In addition, the new package of bills provides low-income residents, regardless of their immigration status, eligibility for legal assistance in civil matters affecting basic human needs.
Another bill included in the package, SB 972, changes the state&#8217;s retail food code to allow street vendors to more easily get local health permits &#8220;supporting better economic inclusion and opportunity.&#8221; The bill was introduced by state Democratic Sen. Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach).

Gavin Newsom Signs Law Allowing Undocumented California Residents To Obtain State ID

California

A conservative nonprofit known for trolling liberals took out a newspaper ad to mock residents of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/island-adventure-bill-maher-mocks-biden-left-over-marthas-vineyard-migrant-dump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martha’s Vineyard</a> who sent 50 migrants packing after they were dropped off on the idyllic island on orders of Sunshine State <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Governor Ron DeSantis</a>.
The ad, run in the Providence Journal, a major Rhode Island daily newspaper, channels the wealthy residents of Martha’s Vineyard and claims to support illegal immigration. However, the ad goes on to explain that the illegal immigrants aren’t welcome on the Massachusetts island.
“Our beautiful island home of Martha’s Vineyard is very small and the mansions have very expensive artwork, Persian rugs, and unchlorinated saltwater swimming pools that are very difficult to clean,” the ad explains. “For these reasons, we cannot accept any undocumented Americans at this time and respectfully ask they be sent to a working class community they can enrich with their global diversity and romantic poverty.”

(Citizens for Sanity)</div>
The mockery was triggered by the island denizens’ swift rejection of migrants flown there on September 14 by Florida. After just one overnight stay on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-calls-out-the-yard-sign-hypocrisy-of-marthas-vineyard">Martha’s Vineyard</a>, the migrants were bused out to the military’s Joint Base Cape Cod in Massachusetts as the state’s Governor Charlie Baker (R) declared an emergency and sent in the National Guard.
Although they quickly ushered the migrants out of their Tony town, Martha&#8217;s Vineyard residents lined up to pay them a teary farewell and one held up a sign saying their brief presence had &#8220;enriched us.&#8221;
DeSantis and fellow GOP Governors Greg Abbott, of Texas, and Doug Ducey, of Arizona, have sent thousands of illegal immigrants to blue states and so-called “sanctuary cities” including New York, Chicago, and Washington. The Republican governors reason that their states do not support President Joe Biden’s immigration policies, so cities and states that do should bear some of the burden of absorbing them.
More than two million migrants have swarmed across the Mexican border since Biden took office and rescinded many of the border security policies of his predecessor, former President Trump.
<a href="https://forsanity.org/">Citizens For Sanity</a> says that its <a href="https://forsanity.org/">mission</a> is “to return common sense to America, to highlight the importance of logic and reason, and to defeat “wokeism” and anti-critical thinking ideologies that have permeated every sector of our country and threaten the very freedoms that are foundational to the American Dream.”

Conservative Group Trolls Martha's Vineyard Residents With Newspaper Ad

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-gaetz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Gaetz</a> (R-FL) called for bombing Mexico Wednesday afternoon over the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fentanyl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fentanyl</a> crisis that is killing tens of thousands of Americans every year.
Gaetz made the call for bombing Sinaloa, Mexico, home of the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel, on Twitter in response to remarks that he made during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.
&#8220;There has been discussion today of fentanyl. And it irks me every time I hear someone talk about fentanyl overdoses because no one overdoses on fentanyl because I don&#8217;t think anybody really sets out to, like, score some fentanyl for a good time,&#8221; Gaetz said. &#8220;I get why it&#8217;s hard to keep cocaine from coming into the country. People in the United States like using cocaine, they seek it out, they pay high dollar amounts for it. And so that would be something hard to stop. But since people don&#8217;t set out to use fentanyl, since it&#8217;s something we don&#8217;t want in our country, we should be totally capable of stopping it.&#8221;
&#8220;And the only reason we aren&#8217;t is because we purposefully allow our border to degrade, not by accident, not because of some lack of capability or some unsolvable problem set,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But because there are some groups on the Right and Left who think that they will do better economically if we just let millions of people into the country and depress the wages of Americans, and the cost they&#8217;re willing to pay for that are the funerals and the deaths and the broken lives as a result of fentanyl poisoning. Because it is not an overdose. It is a poisoning that happens.&#8221;
Gaetz highlighted the clip on Twitter, <a href="https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1572673870880186368" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing</a>: &#8220;Bomb Sinaloa. Not kidding.&#8221;

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has suggested that migrants bused to his city could temporarily live on cruise ships.
Adams shared the proposal during an interview on WCBS&#8217;s &#8220;The Point with Marcia Kramer&#8221; broadcast on Sunday.
&#8220;[W]e examined everything from the legality of using any type of cruise ship for temporary housing. We&#8217;re looking at everything to see, how do we deal with this?&#8221; Adams <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/681-22/transcript-mayor-eric-adams-appears-wcbs-s-point-marcia-kramer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Kramer.

The host later returned to the topic with a follow-up question concerning the possible option to deal with thousands of migrants recently bused to the city by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
&#8220;I want to pursue this thing about the cruise ships. Is that really a possibility that you might be able to do that?&#8221; Kramer asked.
&#8220;We&#8217;re looking at that,&#8221; Adams responded.
&#8220;We are predicted with the influx of opening, probably, 38 additional emergency shelters. So we have to find temporary measures to address this issue,&#8221; he later added.
In a separate <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ny-mayor-eric-adams-calls-coordination-gop-governors/story?id=90067473" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week,&#8221; Adams also called for more coordination in the migrant busing efforts.
“These migrants and asylum seekers are not coming to any particular city, they’re coming to America,” the mayor claimed. “This is an American crisis that we need to face – a humanitarian crisis that were made by human hands by some of the governors in our southern states.”
Despite calls of a crisis, the number of migrants bused to his city is minuscule compared to the more than four million people who have unlawfully crossed the southern border since President Biden entered office.
Adams stated that 11,000 migrants had been bused to his city during the WCBS interview. Abbott&#8217;s press release two days before the interview reported only 2,500 migrants had been sent to New York, while thousands more had been bused to other places, such as Washington, D.C.
&#8220;Texas has also bused over 8,000 migrants to our nation&#8217;s capital since April and over 2,500 migrants to New York City since August 5. More than 600 migrants from Texas have arrived in Chicago since late August,&#8221; Abbott said in a <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/operation-lone-star-spotlights-sanctuary-city-hypocrisy-buses-over-11000-migrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. &#8220;The busing mission is providing much-needed relief to our overwhelmed border communities.&#8221;
Arizona has reportedly bused <a href="https://www.kold.com/2022/09/16/arizona-has-bused-nearly-2000-migrants-border/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nearly 2,000</a> migrants to Washington, D.C., over the past four months. The state has not bused migrants to New York City.
In addition to Texas and Arizona, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) made headlines last week for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-shreds-claims-that-illegal-immigrants-were-falsely-lured-into-going-to-marthas-vineyard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authorizing two flights</a> with approximately 50 migrants to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.
Despite criticisms from the Left, DeSantis received a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/standing-ovation-for-desantis-when-he-brings-up-marthas-vineyard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">standing ovation</a> from his audience at a Wisconsin event on Sunday when mentioning the flights.
“The one place in the country where we see virtually no law and order is at the southern border. And this is a crisis,” DeSantis said. “It’s now getting a little more attention.”
That prompted <a href="https://news.lee.net/partners/cnn/raw-ks-desantis-gets-standing-ovation-in-kansas/video_a1161545-978f-5478-bd12-140087d9237f.html">applause from the crowd</a> as DeSantis insisted, “This is a crisis. It is a crisis. And it’s a manufactured crisis because of Biden’s failed policies.”

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Says Bused Migrants Could Be Housed On Cruise Ships

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) said that Republican governors are sending a message about the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border crisis</a> by transporting migrants to sanctuary cities.
Appearing on <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2022/09/18/gop-sen-mike-rounds-response-migrants-sent-to-north-sotu-tapper-vpx.cnn">CNN</a>&#8216;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; Sunday, Rounds said that Florida Gov. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> (R) and Texas Gov. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/greg-abbott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Greg Abbott</a> (R) are &#8220;doing their best&#8221; to deal with the influx of migrants at the southern border by using buses to draw attention to the problem. Rounds said his own state, 1200 miles away, is dealing with the consequences of illegal immigration, so the governors are doing what they can to emphasize unlawful crossings and the Biden administration&#8217;s lack of action.
&#8220;[DeSantis and Abbott are] doing their best to try to send a message to the rest of the nation about the plight of those individuals that are coming from south of the border,&#8221; Rounds told host Jake Tapper. &#8220;You’re talking about 3.4 million people just since the start of this Biden Administration that have crossed the border. They’re coming into southern states. What is a governor supposed to do?&#8221;
&#8220;They’re trying to send a message to the rest of the country that this is not acceptable, and that their states can’t handle that type of an inflow,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;That’s an equivalent of four times the population of my state of South Dakota. But Jake, it’s more than that. It’s also everything else come across the border at the same time. We’re 1200 miles away from the border in South Dakota, yet the drug trafficking affects our state as well. Our Native American population, reservations have got huge inflows of drug trafficking coming into our state, into some of the heaviest poverty areas of the entire country. It’s affecting the states but the administration isn’t doing anything about it.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/governor-abbott-to-the-biden-admin-if-they-will-not-go-to-the-border-were-taking-the-border-to-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Abbott</a> said in an interview on Friday with Fox News that he began the busing initiative for the express purpose of bringing the border crisis directly to the Biden administration.
“We have small communities of about 25,000 people who have thousands of illegal immigrants dumped into their community,” said Abbott. “And so, they were begging for relief. And that’s exactly why we began this busing operation to Washington, D.C.”
“And so, if [the Biden administration] will not go to the border, we’re taking the border to them so they can see the challenges they’re opposing to the entire United States of America,&#8221; he added.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-hammers-biden-for-scrambling-to-respond-to-marthas-vineyard-but-not-to-these-crises" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeSantis</a> pinned the blame squarely on the Biden administration&#8217;s failure to enforce the law at the border. “This is a massive policy failure by the president,&#8221; DeSantis said Friday. &#8220;This is a massive and intentional policy that is causing huge amount of damage all across the country. And it’s all rooted in a failure to take care that the laws are faithfully executed and to fulfill his oath of office.&#8221;
DeSantis added that his decision to fly 50 illegal migrants to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard prompted more coverage from legacy media reporters than “have ever gone down to the southern border to look what’s going on.”
