DeSantis sends planes of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard

Post by bmw » Thu Sep 15, 2022 6:18 pm

Governor Abbott also sent busloads of them to near Kamala's house.

Of course, Democrats are up in arms.

Here's a simple solution. Don't declare your city a sanctuary city. Then governors won't ship them there any more.

My reaction to what the governors are doing is closer to :lol

My reaction is that they are playing politics with these people and it’s pretty unseemly to do it.

To RT and Hanson - don't you think the migrants are better off in a sanctuary city where they're welcome rather than in a place they aren't? DeSantis and Abbot are doing them a favor. As DeSantis said - "greener pastures."

Martha’s Vineyard is hardly equipped to handle them.. though they did handle it and effectively dared them to send more.

The problem is whether this was adequately explained to them. It’s supposed to be voluntary but they didn’t seem to know what to do or where to go and no notice was given they were coming either. That isn’t good faith on Florida’s part.

I can't wait until hurricane season rolls around and the good people of Texas and Florida find themselves in need of a little simple help and compassion that they themselves appear to lack...

Great what Abbott and Desantis are doing. Of course they're getting slapped by the media saying they're using "public dollars" to do this. I'd bet they could get a few folks to step up and buy some charters but they really shouldn't have to. I'd say keep the busses and planes flying and distribute a proportional share of those coming across the border to all the other states - and especially - the sanctuary cities.

It's really sick how both Republicunt governors behaved. Treating people like pawns is sick.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Interesting comment. I'm not going to defend anything currently happening at the border right now on a federal level, but let's look at the specific actions of one governor:

-Takes public taxpayer funds designated for spending in some way to provide for his constituents.
-Gathers up people who probably don't speak much English and are in such a bad way they would do anything to improve their lives.
-Lies to them about where they are going and what's going to happen there.
-Transports them into an area without notice.
-Sits back and laughs as they collect political donations from people who believe this might be good policy.

This is human trafficking - almost the exact definition of it. What if all that money had been spent looking for a solution? What if Congress would spend one fucking day talking about immigration reform instead of just yelling at each other? This is pathetic on so many levels.

Oh, really? And what exactly IS the definition of "human trafficking"? Please define it and provide a source.
