I think they need to be flown to Hawaii. That state is run by blow-hard democrap libs and you'd think they'd love to have them there to join their "team".

Certainly DeSantis sending illegals to Martha's Vineyard was a political stunt, but he got his point across. I don't recall Democrats complaining, or even mentioning, when Biden was flying them into New York and other areas in the middle of the night, yet when DeSantis moves just a few it's like the world has come to an end and he is evil.

What would the Administration do if Canadians suddenly decided to come en masse to the US? It would be shut down in a hurry.

I honestly want to see a thousand in Martha's Vinyard.

We have towns in Texas with 1500 residents that the Feds dropped 5k on.

I hear Biden wants to revive the remain in Mexico policy. Probably will say it's a great original idea by the Dems if they do.

Sure, liberals vacation there from DC but they don’t live there and it’s not their backyard. The people who live there are conservatives. If you want to send a message to Biden by putting them in Delaware, you would want to put them in Wilmington, Delaware which is the blue part of the state and where Biden actually lives. Sending them to Rehoboth is basically like sending them to Wyoming because Biden likes and visits Yellowstone.

If the idea is to show liberal voters what is happening in border states with the influx of illegal immigration, sending immigrants to conservative counties, isn’t going to show liberal voters anything, because the liberal voter aren’t there.

It is a political stunt. It’s political theatrics. But it does have the effect of having people talk about it. Personally, I would like to them to stop shipping all these people around now that the point has been made and Republicans have gotten the media’s attention. What the Republicans need to do now that they’ve shot the proverbial starter gun to get the country’s attention is to start sharing what their solutions are to stop illegal immigration. But they need to do it in a way that will appeal to Democratic voters that they are trying to win over (which means a different focus/ message than what’s been done in the past to appeal to the Republican base).

Time will tell if this is a careful move in the game of political chess, or if this is just a political game of 52PickUp.

The hypocrisy is stunning. The illegals were removed from the island within 24 hours.
They support illegal immigration until it effects them.

Average home in MV is $700k.

Liberals can’t have Jose and Juanita living in section 8 housing across the street because it would bring down their real estate values.
