Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) responds to criticism for his sending migrants to Martha's Vineyard. Do watch his response below:
A journalist asked Gov. DeSantis this:
House Democrats condemned the vibrant place. Representative Jeffries said you (Ron DeSantis) and Texas Governor Greg Abbott need to stop acting like or start acting like governors and stop acting like human traffickers first. What is your response to that? In a second, is there a second vibrant flight going from Texas to Delaware?
Responding to her question, DeSantis said:
So when Biden was flying these people all over the fruited plane in the middle of the night, I didn't hear a peep out of those people okay.
I haven't heard a peep about all the people that have been told by Biden you can just come in and they're going, they're being abused by the cartels, they're drowning in the Rio Grande. You had 50 that died in some shed in Texas. I heard no outrage about any of that. I haven't heard any outrage about all the fentanyl that's come across the border that's killing Americans in record numbers.
I don't hear outrage about the criminal aliens that have gotten through and have victimized people not only in Florida but all throughout the country. I didn't hear any outrage about that. The only thing I hear them getting upset about is if you have 50 that end up in Martha's Vineyard, then they get really upset.
I'm sorry those migrants were being treated horribly by Biden. They were hungry and homeless. They had no opportunity at all. The state of Florida volunteered transport to sanctuary jurisdictions because it's our view that the border should be secured and we want to have Biden reinstitute policies like remaining in Mexico and making sure that people aren't overwhelmed but short of that. If you believe in open borders, then it's the sanctuary jurisdictions that should have to bear the brunt of it.
So that's what we're doing, but what happened was they were provided an ability to be in the poshest sanctuary jurisdiction, maybe in the world, and, obviously, it's sad that Martha's Vineyard people deported them the next day. They could have absorbed this. They chose not to. But what it shows is if 50 was a burden on one of the richest places in our country, what about all these other communities that have been overrun with hundreds or thousands?
It shows you when these policies are on the front burner, people need to be talking about how Biden can't defend his policies of open borders. It's doing huge damage to our country. It's costing a lot of money. It's costing lives with the drugs that are pouring across.
So the question is, why are you supporting Biden's policies? Why don't you step up and tell him you're failing and let's do it differently because, you know, he inherited a border that wasn't like this and he has created the crisis.
But now at least we know. Nobody can deny that there's a crisis. Everybody now knows and it's only because you had to have the elite who want to have the cost on everybody else and they don't want to have to shoulder that. That's the only reason now people are talking about this, "DeSantis added in his statement."
Accepting immigrants is what the US has always done. Hence, the name "A Melting Pot." However, I do believe that all the states within the US should have a limit as to the number of immigrants it can accept.. Withat being said, what makes Martha Vineyard so special. Does their ultra wealthy residents not want poverty stricken people in their space. Martha's Vineyard shipping the 50 immigrants elsewhere is race discrimination. Other states sending the immigrants to another state may be because their state has reached a draining point beyond its resources. US STATES NEED A LINE OF COMMUNICATION SO THAT A MIDDLE GROUND CAN BE REACHED REGARDING HOW MANY IMMIGRANTS EACH STATE CAN ACCEPT SO AS TO NOT DEPLETE ITS RESOURES FOR ITS OWN CITIZENS.
