Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said the United States should not accept refugees who are fleeing the Gaza Strip, even as the war between Israel and the Hamas militant group intensifies over the weekend.
“I am not going to do that,” DeSantis said at a presidential campaign event on Saturday. “You don’t fly people and import them into the United States of America.”
DeSantis remained adamant the U.S. “cannot accept people from Gaza into this country as refugees,” arguing instead that surrounding “Arab states” should take them in.
