Congressional Republicans from Florida are urging the White House to recognize an “anticipated mass migration of aliens en route to, or arriving off the coast of, the United States.”
U.S. Reps. Gus Bilirakis, Matt Gaetz, Anna Paulina Luna and Daniel Webster all signed on to a letter to the Joe Biden administration urging “maritime interdictions and interceptions of Haitians” and asking the feds to “repatriate them, preferably to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as this limits the financial obligation of U.S. taxpayers.”
The GOP quartet acknowledges that “Florida will deploy additional law enforcement resources to the southern regions of the state,” but argues “the resources are insufficient to address the scope and scale of the anticipated mass migration.”
This refers to Operation Vigilant Sentry, which 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 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 letter from the House members follows up on a similar communication from the state’s two Senators.
U.S. Sens. 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?”

BTW, Julia: No mass exodus from Haiti has materialized, thus far.
And, if some bedraggled, desperate Haitians are interdicted as sea, how’s about the fleet drop them off in Cap Haitian, which remains relatively calm. Not Port-au-Prince like the nitwits advise.

Why doesn’t Florida Governor stop the influx of illegal guns coming from Florida to Haiti? That would be one of the most important factors in stopping Haitians from leaving their beloved land. Who makes guns?, not Haiti. Where do illegal guns come from? The US. Who is profiting from the sale of illegal guns to gang leaders in Haiti? Arm traficants in US/FL

Fully Defunded International Embarrassment

Lawyers for Donald Trump said on Monday he could not post a bond covering the full amount of the $454m civil fraud judgment against him while he appeals the New York ruling, because to do so was “a practical impossibility” after 30 surety companies turned him down.

Apparently Trump can’t cover it. He’s not dealing with those unsavory foolish bankers at Deutsche this time.

If we took his, what chance do have keeping that double-wide?

Let me know where and when we had equity in the US though the argument has been made that between 1965 and 1980 the income gaps narrowed to the lowest point ever. But, since then, we are back to 1929 and worse — the rich intend to get richer and then avert their gaze from what they have wrought.

A sovereign citizen and mildly-famous singer from Florida has been arrested and detained by police on multiple occasions for using fake diplomatic plates on more than one car. The 32-year-old woman, Cecilia Mercado, goes by the name “Sessi” as a singer, and has a modest fanbase on social media. Video of her being forcibly dragged out of an Audi Q5 went viral after Mercado’s boyfriend posted the footage online, as WSVN reports.

CAUTION RACIST TROLL COMMENT BY EARL SHITTS

The Biden Administration has missed every single opportunity to get out in front of issues around immigration and localized foreign policy and appeal to both sides of the aisle on the basis of national security. They have had every opportunity to sell the bill they were trying to get through Congress. Or appeal on humanitarian basis. Or something. When I was a kid, it would simply be expected to hear from the President and/or Congress on something this big. People used to watch the news as a nation and tune in to major messages. But in modern times it’s just people watching celebrities and talking trash and ignoring the podium messaging, and politicians’ ignore -it-and-it-will-go-away syndrome vs. scream about it and do nothing. Those are our choices. This is serious and requires a coordinated response at the federal and states (and international) levels. Is this thing on?

And I’m not just throwing current administration under the bus. Trump had his four years and did jack squat and then crushed the chance for any change this time just when everything was lined up and real and ready to go. It’s all crap. No wonder people are tuned out and cynical.

So, the recent agreement negotiated about border security that Biden agreed to and the House refused to even consider? Wake up — the fire is getting closer when a former and perhaps future President refers to convicted J6 rioters as hostages.

Yep, it’s true. We all know Trump tanked that bill and why. My point is both parties have had their shot at control and fixing and they don’t want to fix it, that much is obvious. And Trump is now telling people exactly who he is and it’s scary as hell they’re just eating it up. But the dems can’t deny they’re losing moderates especially the minority vote not in small part due to a chaotic approach to immigration, bill or no bill. It doesn’t make sense until you realize neither party wants to fix it. They need the problem much more than the solution.

Until Biden’s compromise attempt on the border, no real reforms emerged from Congress since W’s gambit was rejected by Rs. That’s the important point today: MAGAs in Congress will continue to prate about border chaos even as they bear primary responsibility for not taking action when they had a chance. If moderates don’t grasp this point, we in for trouble in Nov.
There are elements in the MAGA front who want cheap labor from abroad.

Well you’re making my point for me. The far right and the far left and people at the tip top all really want the same thing, albeit possibly for different reasons, (or not). It’s the working stiffs cursed with common sense moderates who are stuck holding the bag and hopefully see what’s going on. Hopefully. I said at the time re W attempted reforms that would be the last time in at least a generation we’d have a chance at common sense reform. I really hate it when I’m right.

Maga Lardo could house quite a few Haitian immigrants.
We’ll see what SDNY and/or E Jean Carroll do with the place.

The staff can throw out the document boxes Trump collected and create more room for refugees and asylum seekers if Ms. Jean gets title to the joint.
