New shipments
The Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, plans to continue flying undocumented migrants to Democratic strongholds, his spokeswoman said on Saturday, a day after released records showed the state paid nearly $1m to arrange two sets of flights to Delaware and Illinois.
But worth every penny, to make a point and torment the migrants.
The flights would be a follow-up to 14 September flights from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, that carried 49 mostly Venezuelan migrants to the island where the former president Barack Obama owns a home. Local officials were not told in advance that the migrants were coming.
DeSantis claimed responsibility for the flights as part of a campaign to focus attention on what he has called the Biden administration’s failed border policies. He was joining the Republican Texas governor, Greg Abbott, in sending migrants to Democratic strongholds without advance warning.
So let’s use these immigrants as mere props to inconvenience and embarass Democrats, deploying them like so many flaming bags of poo left on doorsteps.
It’s important for Catholics to protect the dignity of life so DeSantis is sending them to a place where they can get better social services, right?
That’s not why? He’s got a lot of confessing to do before his next Holy Communion.
If I lived in Florida, I’d be a bit pissed off that millions of dollars of state tax money was paying for DeSantis Air boondoggles instead of fixing things after the hurricane. But if any of those Venezuelan migrants can work construction, it’d be great if he could bring them up to Massachusetts, where we have a labor shortage. He just has to be sure to lie to and mistreat them first, so they can be assured residency.
I’m sure the same Republicans screaming that tax money should go to hurricane relief rather than the Ukraine war, will be just fine with it going to a pointless stunt instead. Libs owned after all.
And this hysteria about border security comes from a state with no borders except with Georgia and Alabama.
In fairness, Florida does have a substantial coastline, which is considered a national border.
