No, just calling out a kidnapper and awful human being when I see one. I will bet that DeSantis would have a problem with his Italian immigrant ancestors being treated this way.
I said nothing of DeSantis. I only answered a question. Not sure why you felt the need to respond as you did.
But it is nice to see are replying to me. I thought maybe you had blocked me since you had not answered any of questions or replies to you.
You don't think the entire thing was a little odd? Flying migrants from Texas to Florida, telling them they were going to Boston where they would probably get work permits, and then flying them to Martha's Vinyard? Also spending $12 million in Florida taxpayers' dollars to do it?
It's extremely strange. And the governor of MA is a Republican, by the way.
It is a dumb, reckless political stunt, and he used other human beings to perpetuate it. The only thing that mattered to DeSantis was "sticking it to the Dems." He literally didn't care if he was criminally liable or put his law/political career in jeopardy.
But you can't just show up with a passport and no paperwork. I know what was said in the Basketball thread. I have no personal experiences with getting in to Canada but if you want to go back and look in this thread UncleMark and Zeke relate stories. Canada doesn't mess around which was the basis of my post to start with. I have a friend that does cross and he says you can get grilled about stuff. You may make it through once with a problem but not the next. My point was also they don't just kick you back into the US in a minute and let you go. I was using the DUI as an example vs what comes through the southern border. I bet the temporary pass isn't all that easy and depending on the border guard you are going to get a long discussion on entry. You were wrong at least you owned up to it .
It seems that you have already been challenged to a bet, that you won't take.... It's obvious that you are on the DNC daily notes plan. Oh, and set down to pee. (Just a note, don't spray those ankles.)
He's a horrible human being. He just happens to be slightly smarter than Trump. That's the only difference.
Republicans love to claim they're the party of family values. The party of Jesus and Christianity. Pro life.
Matthew:
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me,
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Immigration Issue Stirs Heartfelt Response on Martha's Vineyard
Voters in all six Island towns this year will decide whether to join a growing list of cities and towns across the country that have pledged support for their immigrant communities and existing law enforcement procedures.
Well, I guess it's because I've never committed a (real) crime in my life. But you were right, although I really don't think if you had a DUI 20 years ago it would be difficult to get the proper forms. Try getting a visa to Brazil with no criminal record.
I guess you got your wish.
Do you think our immigration laws should be enforced?
I doubt you answer…just like the moderator
LOL 70% of people here are Bible thumpers. You'd think they'd walk the walk.
Book sounds interesting. Tried to get on my iPhone book app but it wasn’t available.
Why does it matter where they struggle? If I pull over to pick up a hitchhiker & ask “where you headed?” If their response is “anywhere but here”, why is it an act of cruelty to drop them off in MV or anywhere else claiming to be sympathetic to their cause? You obviously only care who did it…."Yeah...you got it right, hoos" would have been a lot quicker and more effective.
Duly noted that you aren't able to make the case for why this was anything more than a shallow political stunt devoid of sound public policy considerations made at the expense of people struggling.
Clueless…derp.
Neat story. I'll put you down as another conservative poster unable to offer a policy rationale for this obviously sad and pathetic PR stunt.
And Biden has been secretly flying them all over the country in the middle of the night and then lying about it.
I think they should.
You care to try answering the question I've been asking since the beginning of this thread? What's the sound public policy behind sending these migrants to MV?
I wouldn’t be surprised. Both sides are full of it. My heart goes out to these people, particularly those with kids. Mine act like they can’t survive a line at target. I can’t imagine all this travel in awful conditions with little ones.
You wouldn't be surprised? Really? That barbed wire cut between your legs will get infected soon.
Oh sweet lord you couldn't get any more obvious .
It wasn't a well thought out plan, at least in terms of execution. DeSantis undoubtedly thought that he would be shipping a bunch of Central American migrants (who often identify more with the left) off to a Blue state (with a GOP Governor), but wound up shipping off pro-GOP Venezuelans and igniting a firestorm in So Florida.
It's going to be interesting to see how Rubio responds to this, because of the 100,000 or so Venezuelans in FL many of them have responded to the anti-Communist appeals of the GOP and basically have voted GOP. But both Venezuelans and Cubans are upset over this, and Rubio is in a dogfight with Val Demmings who has seriously outraised him. This will be a delicate situation for Rubio to negotiate his way through...
‘Huge mistake’: DeSantis’ migrant transports could undercut support in South Florida
The move by DeSantis dominated the radio and television airwaves in South Florida — where large swaths of Hispanic voters live.

Immigration Issue Stirs Heartfelt Response on Martha's Vineyard
Voters in all six Island towns this year will decide whether to join a growing list of cities and towns across the country that have pledged support for their immigrant communities and existing law enforcement procedures.
"Beyond mere population statistics, the census data also showed that the Island, like the country, is becoming more diverse. The Island’s black population jumped 67 per cent, from 477 people in 2010 to 798 people in 2020, outpacing white population growth threefold.
Latino and American Indian population increases also outpaced white population growth, albeit by slightly smaller amounts.
But the Island demographic that saw the largest population increase was the multi-racial category — described by officials involved with the census as an imperfect catch-all that likely includes a portion of the Island’s Brazilian population that does not identify as white.
Multi-racial populations skyrocketed in every town except Aquinnah, growing by nearly 400 per cent, from 494 multi-racial residents in 2010 to 1,914 in 2020. Non-white residents made up 14 per cent of the Island in 2010. They now make up 22 per cent, driving overall population growth on the Vineyard."
Why is sending them to one of the nicest communities is the US a prank? How many are you housing? Will you give up your Porsche to help them?
Immigrants are not being secretly flown into US cities
Republicans campaigning for office are running ads that hammer President Joe Biden’s management of the U.S.-Mexico borde
www.politifact.com
"Republicans accuse the Biden administration of organizing secret flights, carrying migrants from the border to communities across the country, that critics have branded "ghost flights."
But that rhetoric is often at odds with the facts.
"It's not secret, and it's not new," said Jennifer Nagda, policy director with the Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights, a non-profit that works closely with unaccompanied children.
When children and teenagers from Central America cross the border alone, the federal government is required by law to care for them until they're reunited with a sponsor, often a parent or relative, or placed in a network of special shelters around the U.S.
To do that, federal officials sometimes fly those children on charter planes from the border to other parts of the country. For years, this was widely seen as normal, even routine.
Until it wasn't.
With border arrests at the highest levels on record, Republicans see immigration as a potent line of attack in midterm elections this fall. And some are seeking to weaponize basic operations of the immigration system that had rarely attracted attention before — including flights carrying unaccompanied children around the country."
Of course we know you prefer the word of Caturd, over NPR. I'm just posting the facts so the sane people can read for themselves...

Better get some lotion on those hands or they’ll be chafed from all that wringin’🤣🤣🤣
No dummy, the implication is that the people supporting this policy should carry the responsibility. Seems simple.
What I don"t understand are those who claim to believe in rules of law are refusing to accept our immigration laws need to be reformed.
Given this, our politicians on the left and right use immigration to support their own agendas.
Thus we have a nation of men and not of laws.

DACA kids? Where in the world did that come from? Where did this big plan come from? Besides inside your head or the mouths of Tucker Carlson wanna bes.
Where are they not treated well? People don't agree with the way they got here but they all get treated well when they do. The main point being that for all the hand wringing going on from some of you about how it was a horrible human rights violation to move them to MV is a bunch of damn nonsense. Those folks are pleased as punch to be in MV. And you know why? Because places like El Paso are so overrun with immigrants at the moment, they are getting released to the streets there and are sleeping in tents.
DeSantis and Abbott are making a point about resources and they are doing that knowing that no matter where these people go, they are going to get taken care of by someone.
