Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis won't say whether he supports making it easier for citizens of the Bahamas to relocate to the U.S. in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian
that President Donald Trump ease visa requirements for Bahamas citizens with relatives living in the U.S. All four of the elected officials are Republican.“They’ve got to figure out how they are going to do the immigration stuff,” DeSantis said. Neither Trump or the Bahamian government want to facilitate “a big migration”, he added, given that part of the island chain escaped serious damage.
Scott on Monday called on U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Bahamian government to work together to clarify rules regarding travel visas. DeSantis, Scott and Rubio accompanied the U.S. Coast Guard on a trip to the Bahamas last week. In remarks to reporters following a press conference at Florida State University Monday, DeSantis grew agitated when asked about whether the state was doing enough to help the Bahamas.
State Rep. Shevrin Jones, a West Park Democrat with family living in the Bahamas, said he did not understand DeSantis’s recalcitrance. People from the island nation just need help dealing with the storm’s aftermath and have no desire to remain in the U.S., he said.
