Did Gavin Newsom just realize his immigration beliefs have backfired?

Ron DeSantis isn’t worried about Gavin Newsom, but it seems like Gavin Newsom might be worried about Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis has arranged migrant flights of illegal immigrants to Newsom’s sanctuary state, and Newsom is not happy about it.

On June 5, the governor tweeted at DeSantis and said, “you small, pathetic man. This isn’t Martha’s Vineyard. Kidnapping charges?”

Dana Perino of Fox News sat down with Dave Rubin to discuss.

“Governor Newsom thinks he’s in a rivalry with Ron DeSantis,” Perino said, and “DeSantis is like, I’m not worried about you.”

Rubin agrees.

“I think 1.3 million people have fled California in the last three years, the majority of them going to Florida. I think you can figure out who the people actually like and who they’re running from,” Rubin says.

However, Rubin adds that the most blame should be on the shoulders of the Biden administration.

“The first blame here goes to the Biden administration for not protecting the border. It’s the federal government’s job to do that,” he says.

“Gavin Newsom should be thrilled right now,” he continues, “Gavin Newsom wants to run a sanctuary state. He says he loves illegal immigrants who by definition are breaking the law by coming to this country not through legal means.”

“And he should be very excited that he can put them in some of the empty buildings that are in Los Angeles or San Francisco and they can become part of the community and he can give them phones,” Rubin adds.

Rubin believes that the rivalry between DeSantis and Newsom is a “very clear distinction between the two roads that America can go down.”

“We can either have law and order — we can have legal immigration, we can have policing that actually works and is funded, we can be a society that is based in law — or, we can just let anyone come do whatever they want.”
