DeSantis is now into human trafficking

DeSantis sends 2 planes of migrants to Martha's Vineyard

So, I'm not a lawyer ... but how is this not violating some federal statutes?

 

[Indus]

Send more.

Send em all really and then watch demographic appropriation next cycle.

Why is this group considered illegal immigrants vs asylum seekers? And what’s the length of time to be granted asylum to be able to apply for citizenship to then be able to vote out this Repugican scum?

The modern GOP where fucking with vulnerable people is a fun way to own the libs.

Governor Troll can eat a bag of dicks.

 

[Fenixgoon]

Ahhh yes, literally using people as political props. Conservatives really do care about people. It's true! /S

Inhumane Trafficking.

Fuckin ghoul…

It's funny to see all the Republican governors who want to run for president waste their taxpayers' dollars to pull stunts like this. It's not even original anymore.

“There was no advance notice to anyone in Martha’s Vineyard or Massachusetts that these migrants were arriving to my knowledge,” Cyr said.
“The island scrambled to respond,” he added. “They essentially set up shelters, the equivalent of a hurricane or Nor’easter. They set that up in a matter of hours and these families received a meal. They were Covid tested and are spending the night in shelters at several churches on the island.”


Of course MA responded like that, we’re typically well prepared.

can’t wait for the next hurricane, u ready FL?

When have they actually cared about waste? They pretend to “care” about a lot of things.

Migrants just dumped off at the VP's house.

Didnt someone comment on this backfiring immensely? How the TX immigration courts reject 80-90% of asylum petitions but other jurisdictions GRANT 80-90%? Not sure how that compares to FL.

 

[ivwshane]

So the federal government should be able to reduce the money they give to these states then, right?

Becoming upset over having to share the burden of your decision not to close the border?

I don't think they care about the outcome of the cases in the slightest, they are trying to get attention for the Republican presidential primary and Republican primary voters like attacking immigrants.

What are you talking about? I suggest you take some time to think about it before responding.

If the border isn't closed now, given the resources available to the Border Patrol, then a top to bottom shake up of DHS is in order. A mass firing of Border Patrol agents is in order for dereliction of duty.

Back on topic: asylum seekers are not here illegally. But you know that already.

Personally I understand the hardship that individual states have to deal with. The federal government should be picking up the tab and spreading out the load between all the states.

Massachusetts making Florida look like a shithole run by a hateful attention whore. As usual I am proud to live here.

Bolded is the truth of this situation. That's the only reason it's being done.

And he's got a press conference today @11am to talk about it all. Over/under on how many times he says "woke"???

Yup here’s hoping dark Biden fights fire with fire.

 

[K1052]

Outright lying to asylum applicants to get them on a plane seems legally problematic.

Machine gun nests? Robots with guns? East German style border? Please define a "closed border".

There is no human cost too high for DeSantis not to incur in the name of trolling/hurting liberals to amuse his base.

If he could shoot people and it would help him politically he would. Another creepy ambitious psycho who is totally unmoored to any sense of rights, fairness, ethics, or compassion. It's basically like if you make Trump smarter and way less charismatic.

Seems the most humane way - ensure the illegal immigrants get all the resources needed that a wealthy community has to offer. I would think much better than say Eagle pass TX trying to deal with hundreds every day - a relatively poorer (middle class??) community
