Kari Lake 'Not a Fan' of Busing Migrants to Dem Cities, 'Send Them Back Instead'

Democrat mayors in D.C. and New York City are having fits over the busloads of illegal immigrants who have been shipped to their cities from Republican border states but Arizona gubernatorial hopeful Kari Lake isn’t down with the idea, suggesting that it does little to solve the real problem.
Fresh off of her big win in Arizona’s GOP primary, the Trump-backed former television reporter appeared at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas where during a panel discussion on illegal immigration she criticized current Governor Doug Ducey as well as Governor Greg Abbott of Texas who have been relocating the migrants to the Democrat-controlled areas.
After expressing her confidence that Arizona voters will reject far-left Democrat Katie Hobbs in November, Lake emphasized that it is going to take a “strong governor” to address the illegal immigration problem and that simply moving them from one part of the country to another is counterproductive.
“What happens in Arizona when it comes to the border, doesn’t remain in Arizona,” she said. “It goes everywhere, and everywhere I go people say ‘build the wall and secure the border’ and we will do that and we think other states will come in, we’re going to ask for their help and have an interstate compact and if they can send their National Guard to help us out, if they can send resources we’ll work with them and together we will get our border secure and eventually, the other border states will then start to do the same thing.”
“Now I’m not a fan of bussing people here illegally into other cities,” Lake continued. “It makes for a cute photo op, but it just takes people who shouldn’t be here and moves them further in.”
“I think we should bring the buses and drive them to the border, and then send them back the other way because we can’t have everybody coming in,” she said.
