Governor Ron DeSantis tore into President Joe Biden's 'clandestine' flights reportedly bringing undocumented migrants to Florida and threatened to send those people to Biden's home state of Delaware during a press conference on Wednesday.
He also condemned Biden's 'absurd' double standard in raising concern over the recent migrant crisis on the border between Poland and Belarus while staying silent on the US's own southwest border in a separate statement to DailyMail.com.
Reports that migrants are being flown in to Jacksonville, Florida and other US destinations in the middle of the night surfaced last month on the city's local News 4 Jax.
'So, here's what happens with these flights - there's no notification to the state of Florida. They're done mostly in the middle of the night, and it's clandestine, and we really have no say into it,' DeSantis said on Wednesday.
The Republican governor warned, 'My view would be, if they're going to come here, you know, we'll provide buses and provide them. I will send them to Delaware.'
'If [Biden's] not going to support the border being secured, then he should be able to have everyone there.'
He claimed the flights began as early as May and are still continuing.
'You have an open border in violation of US law. The president has said that basically they even want to pay reparations to people that came illegally,' he added referencing recent reports that the Biden administration is looking at paying $450,000 to migrants separated at the border under Donald Trump.

'The fact of the matter is, this border should be secured. We know what to do because it was working prior to Biden seeking office,' DeSantis said.
'But we're going to work with the folks in Jacksonville.'
Over the last year there have been 1.7 million migrants encountered at the southwest border, a troubling record for an administration that promised a more 'humane' approach to the border compared to Trump's more severe policies.

'Biden has responded by using our tax dollars to subsidize their charter flights and bus rides throughout the US,
