    [Sheriff] Salazar — who didn’t name DeSantis — said the migrants were “exploited and hoodwinked into making this trip to Florida and then onward to Martha’s Vineyard for what I believe to be little more than political posturing to make a point.”

    This is the definition of Human Trafficking. These human beings were lured, by the DeSantis initiative, to board planes under false pretenses and carried across state lines.

    These brochures with false promises that this was a planned and well-orchestrated effort to traffic human beings, were handed to refugees to lure them into boarding the planes.

    This is not just immoral. It's criminal!

    If there are any Republican conservatives left out there, could you explain how this is compatible with conservative principles?

    These people keep breaking the law again and again.... Are you ok with that?

    So false projection is the best you can do. Comparing LEGAL actions with illegal ones is how you expect to excuse these fascists!

    Can anybody come up with something better? Or is this the best you guys can do?

    @Golem @popscott

    are those flights returning to florida empty? perhaps they should be loaded up with the homeless, who merely need the capitalist opportunity provided in the "sunshine state" to pull themselves up by their bootstraps!.

    Lol, “human trafficking”. This is why some people cannot be taken seriously. But when Biden does it, it’s human shuffling.

    Criminal? El Paso has been shipping illegals to NYC since August 23rd. Lightfoot shipped illegals out of Chicago and into a republican city. Are they being investigated?

    Also, the left has been arguing that these people aren't illegals, so that kills your human trafficking allegations. Not only did they consent to go to MV, but there are videos of them saying they wanted to stay there and then the military hauled them off.

    Once again, libs are complaining about things they actually do but don't like it when someone else does it.

    If you have an argument to make, YOU make it as stipulated by forum rules. If you can't make your own case, then don't bother... Not interested

    And BTW the fact that there are "airplanes" in two different episodes doesn't make them equivalent. One is legal , the other one (DeSantis') is not!

    Biden's been doing for over a year. IF allowing illegals free run of the country based on the "promise" they'll show up for their asylum is ok for Biden, it's ok for states since they're receiving zero assistance from FEDs who refuse to enforce existing laws.

    All criminal acts should be punished. But this thread is about a particular one in which the evidence is in plain sight.

    THIS thread demonstrates that DeSantis has likely committed a crime. If you can do the same about Biden, open your own thread.

    And, for heaven's sake.... in your thread, show us that a sheriff is investigating it, like this one is investigating DeSantis'

    If you can't do that, silence would be preferable to any childish "I'm rubber, you're glue" nonsense.

    The plane is in route to an airport 20 miles from Biden's residence.
    Stay tuned,

    Plane possibly carrying migrants heads to near Biden’s beach house

    Snip:

    "At a news conference in Bradenton on Tuesday, DeSantis said he could not confirm that the flight was carrying migrants to Delaware.

    Because so few people were coming to Florida, he said, his administration has to go out to other states to find people who might potentially want to come here.

    “If I could do it all in Florida I would,” he said. “But if we just ignore the source we are going to have people trickling in five, 10 a day ... and there is no way to track all that because it’s on such a small scale.”

    The same contractor that organized last week’s operation, Vertol Systems, an aviation consultant based in Destin, Florida, has been paid $950,000 by the Florida Department of Transportation for two more flights to relocate “unauthorized aliens."

    The more 2 justice tier system probes, the more rage, the move coverage, THE BETTER.
    The alt left terrorist MSM has NEVER been forced to cover illegal immigration on this level before.
    Desantis is a genius! Donald WHO? It looks like the right has a new hero looking out for them.

    It only demonstrates obsessive and deranged blather being claimed as "thorough research'
    Sheriffs have limited authority - this is a jerk-off starter for the loonie left.

    You should probably learn that point yourself before foist it on anyone else.

    So all this to say you CAN'T show anything that would justify opening your own thread and that you can't rebut this one.

    What a waste of time!

    The smoking gun in Martha's Vineyard

    Popular Information has obtained documentary evidence that migrants from Venezuela were provided with false information to convince them to board flights chartered by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R). The documents suggest that the flights were not just a callous political stunt but potentially a crime.

    Last Wednesday, two planes landed in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and dropped off about 50 migrants from Venezuela. DeSantis quickly took credit. The migrants were used as political pawns in the hopes of provoking a negative reaction from a liberal community.

    "When people are brought to their front door, they go berserk," DeSantis said. "Their virtue signaling is a fraud." But the people in Martha's Vineyard did not go berserk. Instead, they rallied together to provide shelter, food, clothing, and other necessities for the group. On Friday, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker (R) facilitated their voluntary relocation to Joint Base Cape Cod, which is "a safe temporary accommodation appropriate for the specific needs of families and individuals."


    Popular Information, however, has obtained a brochure that was provided to the migrants who ultimately agreed to the flights. It was provided to Popular Information by Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR), a Boston-based legal organization that represents 30 of the migrants. The brochure says that migrants who arrive in Massachusetts will be eligible for numerous benefits, including "8 months cash assistance," "assistance with housing," "food," "clothing," "transportation to job interviews," "job training," "job placement," "registering children for school," "assistance applying for Social Security cards," and many other benefits.

    I'll feel more comfortable with the veracity of this story if other sources confirm it.

    What kind of moron picks up refugees in ANOTHER state and puts them in planes at Florida taxpayer's expense. Then takes them to a blue state that welcomes them, and immediately gives them jobs so they start producing for them, while Florida suffers because there are not enough people to fill in the non-skilled jobs that Biden created but are necessary to keep states working the way they should.

    I guess by MAGA-extrremist standards that would be considered "genius".

    The genius that shows HYPOCRISY and forces it to be covered by the media. Why should these states bare the burden themselves? OMG, I love it! As I said, pure GENIUS!

    What "hypocrisy"? They're THRILLED! Except for the fact that they arrive without notice and lured using false pretenses. Which makes it human trafficking. Not good especially when this includes children. But, other than that... they get hard working productive individuals to fill in some of the jobs that Biden created.

    The only ones who are NOT thrilled are we Floridians who have had to cover the tab for DeSantis' idiocies, and get nothing in exchange.

    Maga-extrimists have their nose so deep in Tucker Carlson's ass that they're not noticing what is going on! (Not anybody in this forum, of course... That would be against forum rules....)

    As for the MSM, they LOVE to cover stupidity by Republican fascists like DeSantis. So everybody wins... except us Florida taxpayers....

    Exactly! You would NOT want to open a thread based on nonsense you heard on Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones or Breitbart or... any of the rest of the MAGA-extremist media. That has never ended well for any right-winger in this forum.

    "They" ARE bearing the burden. WE taxpayers in Florida are paying to take these hard working refugees from Texas to blue states.

    Now, of course, the blue states are not "thrilled" that human beings are being trafficked and used as pawns for political gain. Democrats don't generally like that human beings are manipulated this way. And who knows what this could lead to. But they know the benefits. And all this on the back of us taxpayers in Florida.

    I'm curious.... you were one who blamed Biden because an illegal alien murdered his girl friend. I completely disagree, but it is YOUR position. So, if one of these illegals kills somebody, will you blame DeSantis? I expect you to be consistent...
