Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to defend his decision to have migrants flown from Texas to Massachusetts, blaming “advertising” in Martha’s Vineyard for his location decision.
The Governor told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Thursday “they have a social services office there that says, you know, everybody is welcome, refugees welcome, all this other stuff. That’s what they were advertising.”
The Governor has taken to Hannity’s show before to offer unique defenses of the flights of two planes and 50 undocumented immigrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, which critics have called “human trafficking.”
“It’s only when 50 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 on Sept. 20, 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.”
The migrant flights seem to have paused in the wake of Hurricane Ian, but not without some attendant drama along the way regarding a second scuttled flight to President Joe Biden‘s home state.
A press conference earlier this week was animated by questions about the Delaware trip, with DeSantis refusing to “confirm” the trip was happening as rumored. Ultimately, there was no landing in Delaware, a swerve that a DeSantis-linked source said left the media “punked.” Subsequent reporting from the Miami Herald revealed that these immigrants were stranded as a result, but a source gloated all the same.
“He didn’t tell anyone and purposely left people in the dark. So technically the media, the Democrats, everyone got punked who decided to heed some s*** on Twitter instead of waiting for confirmation from the Governor’s Office,” a source told NBC News.

Then where does Biden and Dems belong? Dems let crime rage in a lot of dem cities. Where were you then. Biden’s border a mess. His invite. Come one come all. At least DeSantis showed Dems true bad feelings.

FBI stats would disagree with your assessment. Serious crime, in general, is much worst in Republican lead cities, county and states.

We were kicked and had our genitals inspected by DeSantis men before we got on the plane. We were forced to sign paperwork and we didn’t know where we were going. When we got off the plane we were subjected to vulgar obscenities and slaps.

Governor DeSantis took affirmative action to call attention to the nation’s border crisis. I thought Democrats supported affirmative action. Joe Biden’s reckless disregard for the security of our border will ultimately lead to his impeachment. Won’t be long now, January is just around the corner and I suspect the incoming House doesn’t care too much for Biden.

And yet in the year 2000 when GWBush was in charge double numbers to what is coming into our country now arrived. Hypocrites are the GOP! It is a fact and the facts are only important to those who believe in truth. Truth does not allow for any lies, election, Q, the people’s papers, alternate electors , or any of that bs! Most investigated election ever 2020 and GOP lost because we don’t like lies!

Immigration is a sixty year old problem that neither party has been able to solve. What desantis did was waste taxpayer money on a political stunt for fox news. Call it what you want but the facts are what they are.

Still wondering why DeSantis needed to go to Texas to find migrants. I guess Ron and Christina Pushaw could not find migrants in Florida or he doesn’t have the balls to send Cuban migrants to MV.
If he want to highlight the immigration issue he could have used his campaign money and not the money of hard working Floridians. It is sad when you need to kidnap people to get noticed for your presidential campaign.

DeSantis is a human rights violator and empty suit. Claims victories whenever the wind blows. Charlie Crist annihilated him during the debate. Just go ahead and bare your genitals to him while you are at it. And for what? For nothing!!!

What a strange comment DeSantis made on TV! He knows refugee resettlement offices plan in advance for the arrival of refugees, providing job assistance and information; DeSantis simply dropped a busload of people in a parking lot without proper clothing or food.

Don’t understand why anybody thinks it’s OK for people to be toyed with like this. We (Americans) claim the moral high ground, but are willing to let a governor reach outside his state and authority to play games with the lives of others.
We once herded Japanese and German and Italian Americans into camps under the claim of national security, which was wrong.
We are all responsible for our governor’s nonsense, just as we share the blame for W Bush’s invasion of Iraq on fabricated info.
At some point, Desantis will be able to openly campaign for president, but he is showing his lack of compassion right now.

Biden, Harris have destroyed America.
The fraud warnock and Fettermann and wife will lose, he’s a 1/2 alive. Conspiracy in play on cover up of big neck candidacy. Hearings to follow in Senate.
You are looking at a major Florida and U S shellacking for Dummycrats. Enjoy Biden’s visit, all 10 of you. Get some ice cream. Everything is ok, fine in America, thanks to Biden/Harris.
Enjoy the shellacking.
You guys have no clue how messed up the Dum party looks.
