mrandyk Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I've had a hard time following this stunt by Desantis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like most of the migrants involved were following the established policy to become a legal resident via political asylum from Venezuela? Thus, making them legal immigrants? People who are authorized to work in the US, meaning they have SSNs and are paying their share of taxes? Most of the response I have seen has been laughing about sending "illegals" to a rich part of the country, then acting like that state is awful for housing/feeding them while setting them up to become productive members of society. Am I missing something? 4 Link to comment

Am I missing something? You've pretty much got it correct. Desantis spent his state's money to get these people aboard an airplane (via lies), have them touch down for a hot minute in Florida, then sent them up to Martha's Vineyard. Not because he needed to, but for a political stunt. The "chef's kiss" is the shrugging of shoulders from the Desantis supporters, even after they find out the immigrants' papers were altered without their knowledge or consent, making it likely that many of them will be deported because of Desantis' stunt. As if it's OK to hurt POC as long as you can pretend you owned the libs. You'd think it unbelievable, but his cheerleaders are right here on this board. 3 2 Link to comment
