Ron DeSantis’ cunning migrant ploy

Gov. Ron DeSantis has found a way to make the immigration issue work for him by flying migrants to Martha’s Vineyard.

Matt and Laura discuss the competing political pressures of the border crisis. Laura argues Biden has found a more human solution to the border, while Matt questions how much has changed since Trump left office.
