Florida lawmakers, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz, are urging President Biden to take swift action in response to concerns about a possible mass migration of Haitians arriving in the United States by boats. This call for action comes after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis deployed additional personnel and aircraft to the state's coast.
A group of lawmakers, including Reps. Gus Bilirakis, Anna Paulina Luna, and Daniel Webster, have written to President Biden, requesting him to declare an 'anticipated mass migration of aliens en route to, or arriving off the coast of, the United States.' They emphasize the urgent need for an immediate federal response to address the situation.
