I have a lot of respect for DeSantis, I mean, who else would have the BALLS to ship illegals off to the playground of the rich and famous........ Let those Limosine Liberals deal with the chaos they created!
It is to laugh.......
Not Just State of Texas: One Liberal City Is Sending Its Own Migrant Buses to NYC
Democrats in other parts of the country have had sharp words of criticism towards Texas Governor Greg Abbott ® for sending buses of processed and released migrants to sanctuary cities, such as Washington, D.C. and New York City, amid the ongoing United States-Mexico border crisis. But it's not just the state of Texas who is sending buses to cities further within the United States.
The major border city of El Paso, a Democrat heavy area, is now sending buses to New York City because Border Patrol and local charity facilities are overwhelmed with apprehensions rising in that sector.

In the case of Chicago, you said this is about exposing hypocrisy.
In this case, so far, the residents of Martha's Vineyard are not being hypocrites at all. So what is the point here?
They’ll squeal soon. They’ve already labeled it as “evil and inhumane”. But why? They’ve been granted the gift of providing aid to the very people for whom they’ve declared themselves as sanctuary.
Thus, my assertion. Continue to ship migrants into their ‘sanctuaries’ just like this administration is doing to the rest of the country with midnight flights and we’ll see how long it takes them to become the lip-servicing hypocrites we know they are. Apparently they’re having emergency meetings about it. It’s very conceivable they’ll leverage, or at least attempt to leverage, the halls of power to prevent more from arriving. An avenue available to no one else lest they be labeled racists and xenophobes.
Have you ever heard of the reverse freedom rides? I history buff I follow on social media posted about it today.
In 1962 various white citizens' councils in the South recruited black families to take free bus rides to various Northern cities. They would promote their arrival in the northern newspapers. Some of the black families naively believed the whites' promises of good jobs and move-in ready housing when they arrived.
So there is some commonality, southern white conservatives sending brown people to northern liberals that they think are hypocrites.
The commonality ends there, of course. The federal rights of black people in 1962 were clear but unenforced. They could have been enforced, but weren't. Meanwhile, the federal rights of migrants vary based on if they are "refugees" or not, and of course they all claim to be refugees. This is an enforcement nightmare as we know.
As I keep saying, I'm glad we acknowledge this is all theater and pretending, but what is the goal here? Is angering citizens in the north really likely to get them to cooperate on immigration?
And what changes do we really want? Increased legal immigration? Process all refugee claims in other countries? Increased penalties for employers? Make more types of businesses liable for those penalties?
Just spent 3 days in San Diego with family. I learned it's not just humans and drugs that are crossing illegally. Fruits, vegetables, poultry, beef, firearms and precious metals are all flooding in and avoiding import tax. We may as well just annex Mexico as the 51st state. And they would welcome it.

I didn't even think about that. Dang. This administration is screwing this country over 6 ways from Sunday.

Martha's Vineyard's 'humanitarian crisis' is what cities on southern border see in a few hours | Fox News
Martha’s Vineyard on Thursday was facing approximately 50 migrants sent by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, leading one group to call it a "humanitarian crisis" – even though the numbers are dwarfed by those encountered at border cities and towns on a daily basis.
"To our Island community, here is an update on [the] current humanitarian crisis on Martha's Vineyard....we thank people for their continued help," the Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce tweeted.
Fox News Digital first reported on Wednesday that DeSantis’ office had sent two planes to Martha’s Vineyard Airport in Massachusetts. The moves comes after border states like Texas and Arizona have been busing migrants to Washington D.C., New York City and Chicago.
"We take what's happening at the southern border very seriously, unlike some," DeSantis said in a Thursday speech, "and unlike the president of the United States, who has refused to lift a finger to secure that border."...
Oh, the humanity!

If Chicago and other sanctuary cities (perched on a soapbox a thousand miles away) want a voice in border security, they need to accept their share of responsibility for those who cross illegally. Governor Abbott is reducing an overwhelming burden on his citizens and as, Biscuit pointed out, exposing the hypocrisy of the Left.
No progress will be made on this problem while Biden is President.
I'm not optimistic that there will be any new immigration laws under Biden either, but I wouldn't rule it out. Biden believes that Obama wasted a lot of goodwill and time on this issue and he will avoid repeating that mistake.
I think you probably agree with me that Texas' action is numerically very small, just a few hundred people getting bussed out of hundreds of thousands of recently arrived illegal immigrants. I think you agree that it is just symbolic and meant to teach a lesson. I think where we disagree is whether symbolic attempts to teach lessons are useful or not. Chicago may stop presenting itself as a sanctuary city, yes, but that won't change federal law nor will it cause Texans or Chigagoans to start sending different-minded people to Congress.
Did he say that somewhere?
I think the Martha Vineyard situation is hilarious. The more and more DeSantis says things the more and more I feel compelled to vote for this man. It's about time politicians started putting their money where their mouths are.
Practice what you preach or get your [BLEEP] out of the streets and stop lying to your voter base. You're a bleeding heart liberal and full of humanity until you can literally see it from your backyard, front yard or vineyard. Those immigrants will be just fine and safe out in the middle of Richy Rich Whitesville. You reap what you sow.

There it is. As I said before, democrats will attempt to use the halls of power to stop this even though the Biden administration was dumping illegal immigrants by the thousands upon thousands, via secretive midnight flights, into states that were not informed ahead of time. What makes the leftist hypocrisy so much more profound is the immigrants sent by DeSantis and Abbott were deposited in self-proclaimed sanctuaries who are now screaming "humanitarian crisis" over a few hundred people while the border states are swarmed by thousands.

If the DemocRATs didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.............
And the moderates will overlook this or make excuses.

The goal is to put their hypocrisy on full display (done), to cause them to react publicly to the crisis they previously dismissed (done), and to make them full the weight of their arms length enabled positions on illegal immigration (done). I want to close the borders completely until such time as we've cleaned up the crisis that Bidet exacerbated and then re-open it to legal and well scrutinized entry.
