Encouraging Illegal Immigration As A Political Tool

Two chartered planes, full of illegal immigrants arrived, unannounced, to Martha's Vineyard, unloaded and left.

The migrants said they were sent from Florida and he communications director for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said the two flights were part of a state program to relocate undocumented immigrants.

The migrants said that prior to boarding the flights, they were told they would be getting houses, schooling, jobs and healthcare. if they agree to get on the flights.

This is weird, because Ron DeSantis has been claiming that democrats are encouraging illegal immigration, by promising housing, schools, job and healthcare to illegal immigrants, for political gain.

MAGAs will watch Tucker and believe what he tells them. Reality, however, is quite different.

The flights originated in Texas, showing coordination between dumb and dumber, in their attempt to gain political momentum.

Republican hatred of immigrants knows no bounds. To use people as political pawns is despicable. In other words, standard Republican fare to appeal to their racist base.

@windinhishair They’re indeed racists, and they keep proving it.

@bijouxbroussard As if more proof was needed.

@windinhishair we don't hate immigrants we hate the violations of our immigration policy and protocols. We hate illegally entering the country. We are a nation of laws, pure and simple. Follow the law and you're welcome to the bounty awaiting you in the United States.

@biandlargeny The recent use of Venezuelan asylum seekers as political pawns by shipping them to Martha's Vineyard perfectly illustrates your hatred of immigrants. They WERE following the law. They were entering the country LEGALLY as asylum seekers and were assigned hearings as part of our legal process. They have as much right to be here as you do. Pure and simple.

Here, this may refresh your perspective on what "you" stand for.

You need a refresher on those protocols. Theses folks are here to seek political asylum. They were allowed to do so, processed and released. That IS the law.

We are a nation of laws

And yet you pick and choose what laws suit you, and ignore the rest.

pure and simple

If it were that pure and simple, you would not be defending Trump.

Follow the law and you're welcome to the bounty awaiting you in the United States.

You mean follow Trump's example. Whichever alias you're using. this one, or the other that laughed at this point, it does not change these simple facts.

@Northwest most of the asylum claims have been denied. This is why the wall and the remain in Mexico policy were so effective. The claimants whose asylum claims were denied never set foot in the United States.

These people coming across illegally had a choice. They could have applied for immigration like 100's of thousands who came before them. They CHOSE to break the laws.

And??

🤣 😂

The law changed. Deal with it. I thought you were all about law and order. Make up your mind.

These people coming across illegally had a choice.

The law says they can apply for political asylum once they set foot on US soil. I love the GOP hypocrisy: One set of rules for Cubans and another set for everyone else. Now there's a set of rules for everyone else, similar to what you GOP'ers love to hand to Cubans. One you set foot on US soil, regardless of how you got here, you can apply for legal status. Or is that something DeSantis would like to avoid discussing?

They could have applied for immigration like 100's of thousands who came before them.

Spoken like someone without a clue of how our immigration system works.

They CHOSE to break the laws.

And even less about the law.

@Northwest the Ashlyn rules changed for those crossing the southern border. The remain in Mexico policy helped vet those asylum claims.

Setting foot on us soil isn't an absolute either plenty of Cubans have been returned to Cuba.

Excuses excuses. I thought you were all torn up because laws are broken. They are not. You're arguing your one-sided conclusions, that the laws are wrong, but your partisanship, or other reasons (see Tucker) is blinding you to facts.

Setting foot on us soil isn't an absolute either plenty of Cubans have been returned to Cuba.

Oh, so you're aware of the Cuban issue? Why aren't you torn up about it?
