Rat cunning
CNN reports:
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is claiming credit for sending two planes carrying migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts Wednesday, according to a statement emailed to CNN by his office.
“Florida can confirm the two planes with illegal immigrants that arrived in Martha’s Vineyard today were part of the state’s relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations,” the statement said.
“States like Massachusetts, New York, and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as ‘sanctuary states’ and support for the Biden Administration’s open border policies.”
Purely as a matter of politics, this is serious rat cunning.
I’ve been to Martha’s Vineyard. It’s a gorgeous island, which is very popular with the East Coast elite.
Having hundreds of illegal immigrants dumped in their island paradise will capture the media’s attention like nothing else, and will I suspect be incredibly popular back home in Florida.
