DeSantis Flies Migrants To Martha's Vinyard

My guess is that jobs are one factor but not the only one. There are jobs everywhere nowadays. Why choose a state like Texas or Florida where the governor will make rules that screw you?

I believe many of them have family and friends around the country who could help them if the state would help them get to them.
 
You decided to abandon the debate and play sarcastic games because your argument has failed.

You're done


You'll get em next time
I didn't abandon anything. I rebutted, you repeated the same exact thing. The ball is still in your court, I'm just toying with you now.

People go with what they know. They don't know American politics but what they do know... Disneyworld.

Don't go away angry. I gave you a chance and you blew it.

I guess I could also make a totally sarcastic reply but why bother?


I already won

And now that you've been exposed, you aren't doing your stuck on repeat trick. You keep going where I prod you.

No, you couldn't. That takes creativity, which is why I'm so good at it.

Middle school playground tactics get you the championship belt, eh? OK. You won, buddy. You did it.

Oh stop crying. It's just a debate. You'll do better tomorrow
 
Why not just be honest about it and ask other states to help out? Why be scum bags about it?
What do you think they are doing by sending illegals from overwhelmed states to Democrat controlled areas that claim to welcome illegals as sanctuary localities? Overcrowded shelter in Texas or warm reception in Martha's vineyard who is the scumbag?

When Covid infection was peaking NY Governor Cuomo claimed he had no money to deal with the epidemic. If they couldn't reallocate funds to deal with the epidemic in their midst why would they send aid to help another state, particularly one run by Republicans. They wouldn't.
 
And I decide whether or not I think your post is relevant to mine and whether or not to suggest you direct it elsewhere. Do we have that out of the way now?


The taxpayers of Florida win. It costs much less money to fly them to Martha's Vineyard than to house and feed people while they get on their feet, or pay for education, healthcare, etc. Massachusetts also has a higher unemployment rate than Florida, so hopefully it will be easier to find a job.
Oh yeah. Bad choice. Yeah. We got that completely out of the way now. No problem. I was nice to you and you have been snotty to me. You've shown me what to expect if I keep talking to you. More of the same. We're done. I can find more pleasant mature minds to talk politics with. I won't be wasting any more time on your posts. Everything you have ever said or will say from now on is now considered not even worth seeing. Ever. Not worth a click. Do have a nice life; if possible.

You’re probably right.
Send them all to Florida
 
On the Statue of Liberty it says:

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

-Emma Lazarus

How have conservatives gotten to the point where, even though in America we have a lack of workers willing to take jobs, two jobs open for every applicant, and yet conservatives think the way to make America greater is to build a wall and keep willing job applicants out.

Who's gonna build the wall?

We don't have enough workers, and we are 1.5 million units short of the housing we need.

There's all our new workers on the other side of the border. What is the matter with us that we don't get it that these two problems will cancel one another out.

Let them in, let them work. Let them pay taxes and pay into the Social Security system the boomers need. This should be a no-brainer.

We've got construction companies with huge backlogs and they can't get enough workers. The whole thing is so ridiculous!
 
the right has an incredible "gift" to be able to ignore what the issue is. It is not the movement of migrants from one location to another. It is doing it without any notification or coordination with the receiving destination so plans can be put in place...that's it..that's all!

When De Santis uses FL taxpayer dollars, $12 M to be exact, to move migrants from Texas to Massachusetts with zero heads-up to his GOP colleauge it can only be called one thing...a cheap, well not for FL taxpayers, political stunt. The fact that so many find that a good thing is sickening.
 
Yeah, they might have to rescedule them in MA now.
If they're looking for asylum, I read today those appointments are now 8 years away for many. Our systems are getting just a tiny bit overloaded with 2000 people per day coming in, just in the Del Rio sector alone.
So they have years to enjoy where they are before they have any reason to think about transportation for potential asylum appts. I can't imagine Martha's Vineyard will want tent cities, so these people should be very, very well taken care of there. The "lucky ones", don't you think? Much nicer than the situation in Brownsville, TX where they are dealing with overwhelming numbers. These first 50 in Martha's Vineyard are likely delivering high fives to each other, all the way around.
 
He sent a bus to Texas to pick them up?

Desantis flew them from TX to MA. They weren't even slated to be sent to FL.

Kristi Noem must be scouring the nation for some immigrants to send somewhere.

That tells me that Florida doesn’t have enough of them
 
That is so disgusting on so many levels!

There was another regime which shipped off people they didn't want some years ago. They only had trains, but like this asshole treated them like cargo.

Wouldn't dare try that anywhere in the world today....Jews are very sensitive about their travel arrangements
Shipped of the Martha's Vineyard? I suppose it could turn into the likes of Auschwitz, but that might take a minute or two. I wonder if the Obamas will be the first to sell?

I prefer the “wait in Mexico “ policy

Yeah, just like Auschwitz.

How dreadful. How about supplying the area with more judges and social services so they can be dealt with with dignity and humanity?
