DeSantis blasts Biden for leaving Florida out to dry amid maritime migrant surge
Fox News
The Coast Guard is not getting enough support from the Biden administration as migrant flood into South Florida via the straits, coming from Cuba and Haiti, DeSantis says.
"He's not sending any more vessels; any more support. They don't have enough to intercept all the boats that are trying to come primarily from Cuba, but also from Haiti," DeSantis said, adding that, like Texas law enforcement at America's southern border, Florida authorities are forced to compensate for insufficient federal action.

Tallahassee is engaging in "reconnaissance" and alerting the Coast Guard when boats are spotted; stopping them and working with the USCG to handle the migrants. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
