A little more reading and these 50 weren't even from Florida . This is really disgusting.

NPR was able to interview three of the migrants late Wednesday. "They (the migrants) told us they had recently crossed the border in Texas and were staying at a shelter in San Antonio," NPR's Joel Rose said on Morning Edition.

The migrants said a woman they identified as "Perla" approached them outside the shelter and lured them into boarding the plane, saying they would be flown to Boston where they could get expedited work papers. She provided them with food. The migrants said Perla was still trying to recruit more passengers just hours before their flight.

actual (and incredibly hilarious) cnn headline:

'They enriched us.' Migrants' 44-hour visit leaves indelible mark on Martha's Vineyard

That's not the point

It is an island community. There are much more practical places to send people that will have easier access to the places holding their hearings, their families and friends who are here.
It was a publicity stunt. You see how fast these elites got these people out of their faces? But it's OK to saddle the border states with these people right?

yeah I know, republicans don't care about anything least when its inconvenient.

Venezuelan food is different from Mexican and I doubt you could tell the difference.

Your premise is flawed to begin with. Democrats threw open the gates when Joe Biden came into office. Those aren't people that negotiate honestly. EVERY time a Democrat is asked about the border, they say we need amnesty.

Using people for a political stunt is inhumane -- not Christian like at all.

And they didn't get rid of them because they didn't care for those people...many of those people didn't want to be there, they had hearings to go to, family to leave with.

Elitist DeSantis when to Texas seeking out migrants (guess he couldn't find any in Florida), orchestrated a stunt using families, individuals in need......and you folks are going to go after the people of Martha's Vineyard.....

Gosh come on.

I bet I could tell the difference. I used to date Mexican chicks exclusively all through high school, basically eating home cooked Mexican food for years. If you date authentic Mexican chicks you'll know, there's always hot food on the stove ready for visitors. Always!

Later in my 20's I dated a few chicks from El Salvador. I can tell the difference between Mexican food and El Salvadorian food. Mexican food is much spicy/hotter compared to El Salvadorian food. I love them both.

Biden's own DHS proposed the Desantis/Abbott plan... he shot it down out of hand.

Officials enraged after White House rejects DHS plans to mitigate crisis at southern border: report

The White House doesn't want the whole country to know how badly they are screwing up.
