The White House press secretary on Thursday denounced the practice by the governors of Florida and Texas of bussing migrants to Washington D.C. and other locations.

周四，白宫新闻秘书谴责了佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州州长用大巴将移民送到华盛顿特区和其他地方的做法。

She called that "a cruel, premeditated political stunt⁴."

她称这是“残忍的、有预谋的政治噱头”。

Karine Jean-Pierre accused the Florida and Texas governors of using migrants as "political pawns⁵" and said their actions were, in her words, "shameful," "reckless, and just plain wrong."

卡琳·让·皮埃尔指责佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州的州长把移民当作“政治棋子”，用她的话说，他们的行为是“可耻的”、“鲁莽的、完全错误的”。

She said the fact that a conservative media outlet⁶ and not government agencies were alerted to the plan made it clear that it was a stunt.

她说，是一家保守派媒体而不是政府机构注意到了这一计划，很明显这是一个噱头。

The office of the Florida governor said planes carrying migrants were sent to the wealthy resort island of Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday night while the Texas governor said his state intentionally⁷ sent two buses of migrants to the home of the U.S. vice⁸ president, Kamala Harris, in Washington D.C. officials in both locations confirmed the arrivals.

佛罗里达州州长办公室说，载着移民的飞机星期三晚上被派往富裕的度假胜地玛莎葡萄园岛，而德克萨斯州州长说，该州有意派了两辆载有移民的巴士前往美国副总统哈里斯在华盛顿的家。这两个地方的官员都证实了移民抵达的消息。

The actions by the governors, both fierce critics of the Biden administration, are the latest series of moves by Republican governors to transport migrants to liberal cities and states to protest what they say are inadequate⁹ federal efforts on southern border security.

两位州长都是拜登政府的猛烈批评者，他们的行动是共和党州长将移民运送到自由派城市和州的最新举措，该举措是为了抗议他们所说的联邦政府在南部边境安全方面的不足。
