Gov. Ron DeSantis is telling a national audience his side of the story as outrage continues to mount over what critics call “human trafficking.”
DeSantis appeared on Fox News’ Hannity on Monday, his first interview after the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office opened a criminal investigation into a Florida-funded charter flight involving two planes and fifty undocumented immigrants flown from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard.
DeSantis did not address the Bexar County investigation, preferring instead to rail about the “really frustrating” border policy of the Joe Biden administration before saying that both the undocumented immigrants and Martha’s Vineyard residents “wanted” the unexpected flight, one in a series of stunts involving relocation of undocumented immigrants to areas far away from the border.
“Millions of people since Biden’s been President illegally coming across the southern border. Do they freak out about that? No. You had migrants die in the Rio Grande. You had 50 die in Texas in a trailer because they were being neglected. Was there a freak out about that?” DeSantis asked.
“It’s only when fifty get put into Martha’s Vineyard, which wasn’t saying they didn’t want this. They said they wanted this, they said they were a sanctuary jurisdiction,” DeSantis said, describing the migrants as “basically destitute” and “put in a situation where they could have succeeded” by being flown to Massachusetts.
“Not only did they not welcome them, they deported (sic) them the next day with the National Guard,” DeSantis said.
The undocumented immigrants had “all signed consent forms to go,” DeSantis said, showing that the flights were “clearly voluntary and all the other nonsense you’re hearing is just not true.”
“And why wouldn’t they want to go given where they were?”
DeSantis couldn’t resist chiding Martha’s Vineyard yet again before the interview moved on.
“Have they lived up to what they billed themselves as: a sanctuary jurisdiction? They could have absorbed these people without a problem,” DeSantis said.

Why are these transports still referred to as “stunts?” Don’t you think Texas and Florida have had enough illegals yet? We’ve had them flown in by the Biden Adm. and that was ok…with everyone except our Governor and his supporters (which are many!). It’s not unusual for over 5000 a day to illegally cross that southern border. They should ALL be sent to sanctuary cities/states — or promptly deported.

There are no open borders. If there were, there would be no need for border patrol, or ICE. This notion that Biden supports open border policies, is comical, to say the least, considering the fact that the Biden administration is still following the Title 42 provision enacted by the Trump administration.
Paul Passarelli
September 22, 2022 at 2:34 pm
Of course the borders are open. Despite what the lying Democrats are saying. ***ACTIONS*** speak louder than words. And Sleepy Joe’s actions effectively opened the border.
“Title 42 of the Public Health Services Act is a public health authority that authorizes the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to suspend entry of individuals into the U.S. to protect public health.”
If that were true then the 50 migrants that were flown to MV would still be in Mexico!

You know someone accused you of being a Chinese troll. I’m beginning to wonder if that might contain an element of truth.
Your anger and hatred seem to go beyond what any American should be able to muster. But if you are in fact an agent of the Chi-Com, then well, you would be expected to sow as much discontent as possible.
I think I’m going to speak to an attorney, perhaps sponsor him to file an amicus brief and even bring that to the district attorney’s office. A subpoena will get WordPress to divulge the IP address that you and the other troll aliases are posting from.
If you are in fact in Florida, it’ll be fun to have you served with a libel claim, of not then the admins of this board who are Floridians will get a cease & desist.
I love a good debate. Especially with people who are passionate about their reasons for the things they espouse. But you are toxic. Debating is pointless. You are a waste of bandwidth.

I’m going to disagree with you. DeSantis did the right thing for the citizens of Florida. He literally saved the state treasury millions of dollars, ~$6M over 5 years, with just this one action.
But if you want to take in migrants or illegals, please by all means, get your innkeeper’s license, or open a Bed & Breakfast and invite them to stay in your home. But please make certain that they do not commit any crimes, and that they all show up for their asylum or deportation hearings.
Oh and DO NOT ask the state for any handouts, my taxes are high enough.
You want them here, you pay for them. My bet is that you crumple under the financial burden in a matter of minutes. If you want to commit an act of charity, please by all means go ahead. But no matter how dedicated you feel to helping others, yo do not get to mandate that I help your charitable goals at gunpoint!
BTW: Have you considered moving to Martha’s Vineyard to protest? I hear the people there were so un-enamoured with their 50 migrants that they chose to call out the National Guard and deport them all in less than 48 hours.

You call Bill’s comment great? Why? He said nothing. He didn’t even ask a pertinent question.
Your comment is even less appropriate then the drunk wedding guest that rises and begins clapping feverishly when the M.C. pauses after saying: “I’d like to propose a toast.”
BTW: The ‘solution’ is to close the border and deport every single last illegal. The Democrats can’t even make their old argument that we can’t afford to do so, after handing out newly printed dollars like confetti — at that wedding you’ve been drunk and demonstrative at.

Hey Mr. 1%, where do you get your information regarding the cost of having these undocumented migrants? Crime rate? And what percentage of these folks don’t show up to their asylum or deportation hearings?
Paul Passarelli
September 22, 2022 at 2:45 pm
“Mr. 1%”? Do you mean me?
The cost in benefits is very easy to compute. All one has to do is lookup what the monthly benefit paid to each illegal is, and multiply by the number of illegals being discussed. That gives a monthly expense. Then I take the example period of time the knucklehead pretending to be an aggrieved Democrat supplied; it was *five years* and I again multiplied that by 60 months; et voila!
The crime rate cost is similar. Different source for the rates, average losses per crime, but the rest is the same.
And finally the scofflaws. That ratio varies widely over different populations. But is currently hovering above 40% for *legitimate* asylum seekers. It’s nearly 100% failure to appear for simple illegal aliens without political claims.
Oh and to the other alias whose best comeback was to call me an idiot. My response is: Only because I engage bigger idiots.

Please provide correct information. The data does not alter the conclusion that illegal aliens cost the taxpayers an enormous amount of money.
You can argue your conclusion about whether it’s OK to impose that burden, but you will have to own it.
Otherwise you are just a source of noise.

You need provide the basis for your accusation. I will accept the “proof’ you supply, as long as anyone else can also click on it and see it.
I don’t give a rats ass if the ratio is 40% or 60% or 20% It changes very little. Illegals come here and commit crimes.

Everyone knows the media is now extremely biased. Journalism is now a joke. If DeSantis goes on CNN, it will be nothing but cheap shots and gotcha questions. Then Charlie Crist will go on and they will fall all over him and give him soft balls. So conservatives are simply not going to play that game.

September 20, 2022 at 8:35 am
These same conservatives who are so concerned about the welfare of migrants had no problems with separating families at the border and putting children in cages. No hypocrisy there. The people of MV gave these migrants food and shelter. Ronnie “Coyote” DeSantis gave them a ride from TEXAS which the last time I checked was not in Florida.
Impeach Biden
September 20, 2022 at 11:09 am
Ah yes Frankie M. with the “children in cages” catch phrase, yet another Democrat talking point that many gobble up. I remember when Trump was President there were the three stooges, Wasserman-Schultz, Shalala, Mucarsel-Powell jumping up and down at the Homestead detention facility. Well guess what know one says a word now that Biden is President and that facility is still in use. Kind of like no one saying a word or no coverage from CNN and MSNBC on the border chaos until the Republicans made it a national issue rather than a “let’s flood Texas” with illegals.

Mr. 1% a debate has been schedule. If you are going to be a carpetbagger in Florida, please get the facts correct,
Why is DeSantis only doing one debate with Charlie? DeSantis in his November 2021 fundraising ad spoke about the “big pair that he had”. Looks like he lost them and he is now afraid to debate . Is he afraid that the voters will see him as a fraud who really doesn’t care about Floridians as he continue his journey as a Presidential candidate
Paul Passarelli
September 27, 2022 at 9:44 am
Of course he cares about Floridians — so much more than you seem capable of understanding!
Since the beginning of COVID, DeSantis has *PROTECTED* the rights of Floridians from the Chicken Littles on the Left. He kept businesses open, he kept churches open (that’s the 1st Amendment in case you forgot). He stopped other businesses from overreaching their authority, and punishing Floridians for their personal choices. He’s kept the destructive agendas out of the classrooms, the list of his accomplishments is just too long the this space, besides it would fall on deaf ears.
And if he were to go negative on Charlie, that would burn up a lot of air time, and stir up a lot of bad memories. And then the Democrat pundits would monopolize the air waves and tell tales of how Crist’s failures should be blamed on the best damn Governor in the USA!
When dealing with Democrats any sane person’s first thought should go to: “tale of the scorpion and the fox”. Your side brought that shit onto yourselves.

Mr. 1 %,
How do know what a Floridian understand, you are a carpetbagger from Connecticut. Did you know we had more Covid deaths on a per capita basis than NY or CA, two states that DeSanta would consistently mock for their Covid Policies.
There are times I will give up some freedom, for a short time to save lives.
Yes, you are correct in other comments that I am laughing at you and the fact that you received 1% of the vote when you run for state office in CT. I laugh even more when you told me that you received more than 1%, and that it was actually 1.4%.
Your comments is similar when a coach corrects a reporter that he only lost the football game by 68 points and not 70. If it is 1% or 1.4%, you lost badly.
