Florida’s Senators want President Joe Biden to help Floridians get ready for an expected influx of Haitians as the island nation deals with more domestic unrest.
Marco Rubio and Rick Scott on Friday released a letter to the White House demanding its “plan to deal with the significant unrest in Haiti and prevent this humanitarian and security crisis from having a direct negative impact on American families in Florida and across the United States.”
“There have been numerous reports of gangs committing jailbreaks in Haiti and releasing thousands of dangerous criminals,” the Senators write. “If individuals from Haiti arrive in the United States, how will your administration guarantee that no criminals are granted entry into the interior of our country?”
The letter also blames Biden for the chaos in the Caribbean nation, with an immigration policy said to pose “the greatest risk to the American homeland since 9/11.”
“Your entire administration can be summed up as this: you create a magnet for illegal immigration here, appease evil regimes, and put the American people at risk, while further expecting taxpayers to pay for the unrest, humanitarian crises and mass border crossings that result … What the world is witnessing in Haiti as gangs take over the island is a symptom of political unrest in the Western Hemisphere that only has grown under your administration.”
The state of Florida has launched its own response, meanwhile. Operation Vigilant Sentry is designed to keep Haitian refugees from making landfall and finding refuge in Florida, with 250 total forces deployed. More than half of them are from the Florida State Guard.
In addition to that 133-member contingent, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will send 39 additional officers, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will deploy 23 additional officers with eight additional seacraft, the Florida National Guard will engage 48 additional Guardsmen with four additional helicopters, and the Florida Highway Patrol will allocate 30 additional officers with an additional aircraft and drones for surveillance.
The Division of Emergency Management is also launching an assistance portal for Floridians and other Americans trapped in the Caribbean country amid yet another round of domestic unrest.
The portal consists of a fill-in-the-blank form that requests the name, exact location, gender, birth date, cellphone number, email, information about Florida residency and the trapped person’s passport number, issue date, and expiration date. Additionally, the state wants to know if people are traveling with animals or as part of a group needing help, as well as contact information for someone stateside and the desired arrival location of the travelers who might need help.

Biden’s plan is to read whatever the person behind the curtain gives him to read. He will also have cheat sheets, pictures, handlers, and teleprompters to assist. Slo Joe is merely a hologram.

“appease evil regimes” — this would be the MAGAs who worship authoritarians, such as Putin and their own wannabe DJT

Putin is walking all over Slo Joe. Love him or hate him I don’t think Putin would do the same if Trump was the President.

An insider told me Rick Scoot and Little Marco want a plan from the White House because they plan to fail, but they want somewhere else to point fingers at when the blame storm comes as the result of their planned, intentional and willful failure.

Thank you, Beautiful Son/Daughter, joy of my life,
Your Pops has an unplesant task to perform Monday regarding Marco and Rick. I have no idea of what we will find. And while its Marco and Rick’s choice we will not be mean or discrimiate in any way if we fail to find what Florida Law requires.

Marco is a bona-fide tool of the fanatic 2A guns lobby, and has responsibility for all the guns that went south to Haiti via Florida.

Good Morn ‘Ting to all Sage Patriots and Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s alike,
STAND BY FOR SAGE POLITICAL WISDOM FROM EARL:
I, Earl Pitts American, have been in Sage Political Meetings, with both Marco and Rick on the subject of Haiti. Somehow my 2 under-studies, Marco and Rick, flubbed up the delivery of their Demand From The 8iden Puppet Masters.
America I, Earl Pitts American, “CLEARLY DIRECTED”, my Under-Studies, Marco and Rick, on “Exactly” what to say & how to say it.
Did they follow my Sage Direction? H€LL TO THE NO.
I told them to “Lay Out Clear And Concise Demands” from the 8iden Puppet Masters.
AND WHAT DID MY 2 UNDER-STUDIES DO?
America they “Meekly, Mildly, and Chickin-Shittly Asked The Puppet Masters what they were going to do.
America, I Earl Pitts American, totally appoligise for both Marco & Rick’s “Lack Of Testicular Fortitude”.
“BUT WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS EARL -ARE YOU GOING TO CHASTIZE THEM?
“Thank you Sage Citizen excellent question” said Earl. Firstly I have issued an “Appearance Demand” to both Marco and Rick to appear in my office Monday Morn ‘Ting at 8:00 AM in order for myself and Ron “THE RONALD” to both conduct a testical check of their man-sacks. Because from their meek and mild “ASKING” of the Puppet Masters it appears they both may have lost their “MAN PODS” somewhere along the way up there in “The DC Swamp”.
GREAT PLAN EARL …. WHATS NEXT?
“Well”said Earl, “It appears they both violated the “Testical Maintaince” clause of Florida’s Sage Oath of Office” and will be re-called.
And while its kind of gross, both “The Ronald” and myself, Earl Pitts American are both required on Monday Morn ‘Ting to put on the medical gloves and perform the “Sack Squeeze”.
Pray for us America,
Earl Pitts American

Perhaps the Boys from Brazil, uh I mean Florida, could use some reminding about their guy Reagan who propped up Baby Doc, for years as Haiti slid into poverty and despair. Can’t remember if that was the same time the US was selling weapons to Iran, yeah, remember them? Selling weapons secretly to fund the Contras in Nicaragua, another one of the GOP’s shining moments. Scott was just whining and blame-splaining the Dems about that country a few days ago. But hey, let’s spread misinformation and lies about the way the world’s going to sh&t on Biden.

Somebody knows their history. Recommend Stansfield Turner’s books on this era, which goes into the whole history of US meddling in the Caribbean and disastrous consequences.
