Gov. Ron DeSantis doesnt want infected foreigners to be dumped in Florida and using up resources

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) complained on Monday that people aboard a cruise ship where four have died could be dumped in Florida.
During an appearance on Fox News, DeSantis was asked about the Zaandam cruise ship. According to reports, 73 passengers on the ship have flu-like symptoms. At least two have tested positive for COVID-19.
And not only that, I think a lot of these are foreigners, DeSantis told Fox News. We cannot afford to have people who arent even Floridians dumped into south Florida using up those valuable resources.
We view this as a big, big problem, he added. And we do not want to see people dumped in southern Florida.

"These people" have been supporting your economy.
Nobody asked to be sick with a pandemic. You want them all to die at sea with no access to the hundreds of hospital beds they are going to need?
You are the very emblem of republican asshole attitude.
