Texas and Florida governors outdo themselves

By Mike Huckabee

If you thought it was brilliant – and it was – when the Governors of Texas and Arizona began sending northern liberal “sanctuary cities” like New York, Chicago and Washington, DC, a very small number of the illegal migrants that President Biden’s open border have unleashed on them, then get ready for the next level.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just sent 50 illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, the picturesque enclave of wealthy, overprivileged liberals, including the $12 million waterfront estate of the Obamas (oddly enough, they seem unconcerned about those rising oceans from climate change – maybe Obama just waves his hand and makes them recede from his house.)

The standard response from liberal leaders has been to denounce these Governors as cruel, racist, un-Christian and lacking in compassion. A local lawmaker who represents the Vineyard called it “evil and inhumane” to send the migrants there (good thing he’s not in charge of promoting tourism!)

They fail to grasp that they expect border states to compassionately deal with a thousand times more illegal immigrants than they’ve been sent, and all because of policies they promote. They also never expected anyone to force them to live up to all their empty virtue signaling. I’m surprised they don’t recognize the tactic, since it’s #4 in their own leftist bible, Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

A spokesperson for DeSantis responded, “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.” In short, don’t write checks that your sanctuary state can’t cash. Still, I have no doubt that these wealthy liberals will soon do the same compassionate thing they always do for illegal immigrants: put them to work off the books at their estates for lower wages than they’d have to pay American citizens.

But wait, it gets even better. Last weekend, Vice President (and “border czar”…remember?) Kamala Harris stunned even NBC sycophant Chuck Todd by declaring that “the border is secure.” Well, to prove otherwise, since she refuses to visit and see for herself, Texas sent a busload of illegal migrants from Del Rio and delivered them directly outside her house in DC. A Fox News reporter asked one of the migrants if the border is closed, as Harris said, or open. She said it’s open. I tend to give her more credibility on this issue than I do Kamala Harris. Or on any issue, come to think of it.

I like the Twitter post at that link: “If Kamala doesn’t go to the border, the border will go to Kamala.”

    Who did Embarress Governor Ron DeSantis (FL) that he ordered to fly Undocumented Persons out of the State?

    A The Issue
    It’s well documented [1] that during President Biden’s tenure 4.9 million people, the equivalent of the entire population of Ireland, improper entering our country. That leads to several questions, such as

    * how could that happen though Art 4 Sec 4 of our Constitution is in play and government established DHS (lead by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas), CBP to provide border security, immigration, customs, among many others and DOJ (lead by AG Merrick Garland) to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe (in ’21, fentanyl, with a high profit margin) accounted for most drug overdose death), and to protect civil rights?
    * where did they cross our border?
    * what did the government do last 19 months to keep our country safe?

    B How did some of these improper entered persons traveled from the border towns to Jacksonville, FL which is no less than 1,500 miles away?
    Since summer 2021 [2] we know that the government organized ground and air transport under the cover of darkness. That leads to several questions, such as

    * who checked that among those chosen to relocate were no drug dealers, sex traffickers, terrorists or other criminals?
    * why were undocumented passengers allowed to board a plane & did they know where to go?
    * who paid?

    C What happened with 12K people who improper entered our country and camped under Del Rio Bridge in TX?
    In 9/21 These persons had appeared in a matter of days and had overwhelmed CBP and the city (with a population of 35K lies 150 miles west of San Antonio, TX) which shut down the border to process them. Within days, they disappeared! The fact so many were moved so quickly should be troubling for any American. That leads to several questions, such as [3]

    * how many have been moved into the cities and towns where you live?
    * what will the impacts be to state and local budgets of thousands of people being moved into these locations?
    * will there be other impacts that the Media won’t report on?

    D There are three carriers but why are flight numbers decreasing lately?
    Maybe they use other like transports like buses or trains, how knows [4]

    However, there are three charter airlines [GlobalX (G6). iAero (WQ), World Atlantic (WL)] Avelo (XP) contracted by the government.

    Avelo is a budget airline with schedule flights, bookable for the general public: Immediately after a chartered flight – with passengers improper entered our country – landed, a commercial flight is scheduled. That leads to several questions, such as [3]

    * As many illnesses brought into US by people improper entered our country: How confident are passenger that the plane has been cleaned to their satisfaction within a hour?
    * As FAA offers training videos on human trafficking: What does the crew say about transporting unaccompanied minors?
    * Why did CSI Aviation, the contract holder, substituted HPN to SWF for their flight out of ELP via JAX?

    E What it’s GOP take?
    Governor, this is your take!

    [1] eg The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), RRW blog written by Ann Corcoran or books, such as: Tod Bensman: Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed The Greatest Border Crisis In U.S. History, Ann Corcoran: Refugee Resettlement and the Hijra to America, and Michelle Malkin, Open Borders Inc.: Who’s Funding America’s Destruction?
    [2] On 10/19/21 NYP reported about a charter flight with improper entered passengers into Westchester, NY late at night.
    On 11/6/21 “Washington Examiner” reported: “Biden sent 70 secret night flights of migrants from border to Florida”.
    On 1/4/22 “FN Primetime” shows images of an airplane (& bus) at AVP at Christmas night. “Socratic Patriot found out that two charter flights passed AVP on 12/25/21: 1 (WL Reg # N806) ELP-CVG-AVP-LRD; 2 (WL reg# N804) ELP-CVG-AVP-MFE [3]. Governor Tom Wolf (D-PA) statated that “the migrant flights that arrived at AVP […] passing through on the way to their guardians and sponsors.” If you are not familiar with flightpaths, you can check at “Great Circle Mapper” and will find out both flights started and returned to TX. Decide yourself if Governor’s explanation sounds plausible.

    I suggest either a convoy of busses or an airbus 380plus. Move the illegals by the 1000s rather than 50 per trip, then they experience reality closer to what is normal for border states/towns.
