Not to be outdone by Texas, DeSantis joins in

Why would we need another wall when Trump’s border wall was completed and paid for by Mexico?
Unfortunately, it hasn't been completed yet, but thankfully Biden has committed to completing it and Mexico is supposedly paying for it. That is a good first step.

How can he do that without declaring a national emergency and taking funds from the VA?

This will be a true test for the left wing elites in Martha's Vineyard. Are they agreeable to letting these folks settle down and live a life in their community or will they ship them out like the Chicago mayor?
 
This guy is such a mean-spirited jerk. He might actually be worse than Trump.

(CNN)Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is claiming credit for sending two planes carrying migrants to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts Wednesday, according to a statement emailed to CNN by his office.

"Florida can confirm the two planes with illegal immigrants that arrived in Martha's Vineyard today were part of the state's relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations," the statement said.

"States like Massachusetts, New York, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as 'sanctuary states' and support for the Biden Administration's open border policies."





An estimated 50 migrants arrived on Martha's Vineyard Wednesday on two planes, according to Massachusetts state Sen. Julian Cyr, a Democrat who represents Martha's Vineyard. The two planes arrived just after 3 p.m., Cyr said, and white vans took the migrants to Martha's Vineyard Community Services.

"There was no advance notice to anyone in Martha's Vineyard or Massachusetts that these migrants were arriving to my knowledge," Cyr said.

"The island scrambled to respond," he added. "They essentially set up shelters, the equivalent of a hurricane or Nor'easter. They set that up in a matter of hours and these families received a meal. They were Covid tested and are spending the night in shelters at several churches on the island."

Municipal officials and state officials are in touch about next steps, but Cyr stressed that the focus right now is supporting the migrants who arrived.

So these folks are now ahead of the nearly 4 million people (per the U.S. State Department) waiting abroad in the legal family-based immigration backlogs? How do these sanctuary cities work? Can these folks fill all the empty restaurant positions? :cool:
 
JFC, the left's entire immigration stance is based on emotion.
And the rights isn’t? My god, based on them you’d think violent criminals were invading the country left and right!


the plain and simple truth is that none of this will change until and unless there is a major overhaul of our immigration system. It is and has been for years overwhelmed by the number of people seeking to enter the US. Not enough resources to manage the border, not enough resources to process immigrants quickly - legal or otherwise. An immigration system that hasn’t seen major updates in 40 years!
 
Immigration policy needs to be fixed no doubt about it (personally, I would just prefer to make it easier to become legalized).

Regardless, using human beings as political statements is pretty f*cked up and cruel.
Exactly my opinion….let’s legalize those already here…and then really, really crack down on illegal employment. If you hire and pay an illegal immigrant it’s suddenly a 100k-250k fine and/or 1-2 years in jail for the employer.

End illegal employment, you end illegal immigration.
 
Does anyone know if Massachusetts receives federal resources allocated for immigration like the border states do? Also, doesn't this route seem terribly inefficient?

There has to be a better way than sinking 12 million on a couple of flights.

“Spend $12 million” versus “a $12 million dollar plane”….where did the $12 million figure come from?

The $12 million figure mentioned is what was put into the state budget specifically to transport immigrants out of the state.
No idea how much of the $12 million budgeted for political stunts was spent on this particular political stunt.
 
This is classic NIMBY (Not in My Back Yard) and finally an eye opener for the left and our broken southern border. There are small towns in Texas and Arizona getting absolutely overrun every day with illegals crossing the border every day. The result has been human trafficking, children getting raped by the cartel coyotes, the fentanyl siege killing thousands in this country and the left has just looked the other way until now. Not too mention they are cutting in line for the people who are trying to immigrate to this country the right way. A few bus and plane loads get transported (after signing a waiver by the way) to deep blue "sanctuary" cities and the Libs go nuts.

I say flood the zone with any who want to go there to highlight their hypocrisy. You can damn well bet if any illegals try scaling the private fences at the wealthy compounds on Martha's Vineyard they will be arrested ... as they should have been at our country's border.

Republican leaders are effing brilliant at messaging to their base, like OP. As soon as Biden was POTUS they started hammering the border. The deficit. Shit they don't care about at all, like we have told you for years, except when they aren't in the White House. Almost a million border encounters in 2019 and they didn't say a damn word. Their base falls for this every single time. Here we are with a few of them perfectly happy about human trafficking. Party of life.

Yep. Still waiting for the first indictment of C-suite execs at the Koch chicken plant in Mississippi.

So when Trump was enforcing the border and AOC goes there to take the pictures of her crying at the fence, that’s not messaging to the liberal base?
