You obviously don’t keep up with current events or at least didn’t follow the news for some period of time. Back when DeSantis was a presidential candidate, he decided to get himself some free publicity and score points with Republican voters by using *Florida’s* funds to pay for undocumented immigrants to be flown from Texas and dropped off in cities where the Democrats have a stronghold. No one was notified they were coming. Spreading the burden and chaos was the point, by making the libs deal with what Texas deals with everyday. The people who loaded the immigrants onto planes lied to them and told them social services would be available to help them when they landed. They were literally just told what direction to walk in when leaving the airport. This was even done in the cold of winter, despite the immigrants not having warm clothing or winter coats. |
Also, asylum seekers were left with no way to return to Texas for subsequent required check ins. |
We can do both. It just requires electing people who aren’t afraid to raise taxes to a level where it’s possible to do real good for people. The money is there. What’s lacking is the courage to tell people they need to pay their fair share. |
Pay my “fair share” to support illegal immigrants. I don’t think so. Most Americans are not willing to live in the communist utopia you have in mind. |
I have zero interest in paying for a bunch of people who came here illegally. We have enough of our own poor people here that need help. |
Same. Moved to MoCo for schools. Kid had a disability. IGNORED. We simply moved. Would be fine if county leaders led - and Put migration to referendum or said ‘we need to do this’ like Merkel did for Syrians. instead they put Democratic Party priorities ahead of stewardship - 10% property tax hike went directly to MCPS. (Growing the base - they thought) Jokes on them. Hispanic voters, particularly male, overwhelmingly vote Republican (given history of socialism in Central America. They also bring a nasty anti-Semitic strain of thought I’m deeply uncomfortable with. When Lowe’s converted to Colombian pop music - I migrated out of MoCo. |
Yes, that is how countries and welfare systems work. If you want open borders, we need to eliminate welfare for everyone. It is untenable to expect all people around the world who "want a better life" to come to the United States and benefit from our programs. |
Someone’s poor education is showing. You clearly went to public schools somewhere in the mouth-breathing South
Doesn’t matter what racist hillbilly transplants like you think, you’re a tiny minority here in this county and we will steamroll you at the polls when we elect people who are willing to tax the rich to save the lives of the poor. So get ready to pay up, sucker. |
+1. Some of these posters are absolute idiots. |

I doubt they'll be doing more of this because they're being charged with crimes. These people were here legally as asylum seekers and were allegedly promised things in Martha's Vineyard that FL couldn't guarantee.

| DeSantis was literally using humans as pawns. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even consider them human. To treat another person like he's done with these poor people is absolutely despicable. |
I hope they dump them all in your neighborhood. |
| A compromise plan for MD, NY and TX would be to relocate the illegal immigrants south of the border. Win-win. |
Meanwhile, the Biden Admin has been dumping people into FL at a greater rate than any other state via their direct flight program. Brutal game but both sides are playing it. |
The rich are already massively taxed and bad government wastes all the money they get from them. |
