Gov. Ron DeSantis visited Miami’s American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora and defended his plan to crack down on federally funded Florida shelters for unaccompanied minors.
He took his stand in front of some who were once unaccompanied minors themselves — Cubans who, more than 60 years ago, ended up in Miami shelters, camps and foster homes here and across the country through a rescue initiative called Operation Pedro Pan.
It’s unfortunate that he further sullied his defense by using language that, basically, divided these groups into worthy immigrants and unworthy immigrants.
