    I do not understand the MAGA obsession with Martha's Vineyard.

    Is it jealousy? Is it because the small community is very wealthy and the stereotypical MAGA family is not?

    Whatever it is, failed presidential candidate Ron DeSantis implies he is going old school MAGA (circa 2022) with his veiled threat to send Haitian immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, something that as of governor he does not seem to have the legal authority to do.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/state-...may-send-haitian-immigrants-marthas-vineyard/

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said he may send Haitian migrants who land in his state to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.

    “We do have our transport program also that’s going to be operational. So, Haitians land in the Florida Keys, their next stop very well may be Martha’s Vineyard,” he said in an interview Tuesday with podcast host Dana Loesch.

    I love that Republicans have shut down negotiations on getting the border under control and are still flying illegals across the country to “trigger libs”

    I swear they would nuke their own country if it pissed off a single blue haired woman in San Francisco

    Their obsession over Martha’s Vineyard or your obsession over their obsession. What’s the difference?

    Well, my commentary is based on observation,whereas their obsession seems to be based on bigotry and jealousy.

    Well isn’t that convenient for you. I’m sure all other things in life are as simple as that outlook is. Makes things real easy.

    A lot of rich dems and their donors live there or have land there.
    Its their getaway.
    He's saying if you want to accept these immigrants, I'll send them to your favorite spot for you to deal with the way I've been doing.

    I would bet you'll find some sorta deal worked out. Wonder why.

    If the illegals sign off on going to MV then that’s all the authority he needs.

    Ah, so somehow he is asking for volunteers.

    Odd he did not say that in his spastic, fascist quote.

    How in the world is his quote fascist? I'm surprised you also didn't include racist, sexist and homophobic.

    Normally what they do is they offer them a little bit of skrilla, and a description of the comparison between what they get in Florida vs what they can apply for in essentially any of the northern states, along with a free plane ride and bus trip.

    Bit different, voluntary movement and such.

    Well, shjipping people around the country seems a right wing authoritarian thing to do, which is the definition of fascist.

    As for the racism, that goes without saying. Haitians are people of color, and I know that MAGA folks in Florida tend to not like people of color.

    What legal authority does the federal government have to be shuffling illegals around the nation?

    At least unlike the Biden administration our Governor is allocating resources to prevent illegal immigration.

    I could just imagine if the person Democrats wanted to be Florida governor who was Andrew gillum who later went on to be found passed out naked in a pool of his own vomit and a motel room with meth and a male prostitute, was our governor..... He wouldn't lift a finger to stop Haitians from landing on our shores

    Amid border surge, Biden admin plans to send migrants to cities deeper inside U.S., starting with L.A., say internal documents

    Looks like old Joe is a right wing authoritarian. Do you seig heil him?

    So you think immigration and the federal laws surrounding it are suddenly under the purview of some governors?

    I think if we have a sorry ass excuse for a president who refuses to protect our borders and we have a state Governor who's willing to do the job, the sorry ass excuse for a president can go pound sand. A governor has every right to protect his state's borders much like the Texas governor is having to do

    Also did you notice how it seems that you forgot to answer my question?

    On what authority does the federal government shuffle illegals around the nation?

    But that little but of nonsense has nothing to do with what DeSantis claims he was going to do.

    It is a simple question bro. What legal authority does DeSantis have to traffic people to other states?

    The whole thing about sending immigrants to Martha's vineyard is those are the people looking down from their Ivory Tower if anything the poor gutter filth are supposed to deal with this.

    These are the upper class in the upper class loves to lecture everyone else as if they know anything about reality from their neatly manicured ivory Tower.

    The left says eat the Rich while being the rich.

    It's to make their problem actually their problem.

    If they were illegal he’d be turning them into the feds, not putting them in planes at taxpayer expense. It is nice he knows that nobody wants to live in his **** state. Bet some florida residents wish they could get free flights to nicer places.

    If they were illegal he’d be turning them over to ICE.
