Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has achieved a brand new low by utilizing folks searching for asylum as a political prop. Of course he didn’t invent the thought (xenophobic hat tip to Donald Trump!), earlier than DeSantis despatched a planeload of individuals from Venezuela to Martha’s Vineyard, Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey have been sending migrants to Democratic strongholds like Chicago and Washington, D.C.
This cruelty is going down to, you understand, “own the libs” and make these lefties notice what life is like for MAGA states alongside the southern border. The proven fact that migrants are fleeing violence and persecution of their dwelling international locations to hunt asylum within the United States apparently doesn’t exempt them from being utilized in elaborate, multi-state publicity stunts.
While Republicans have been very public about what they’re doing with hundreds of migrants, President Biden has been a bit quieter concerning the million-plus migrants his administration has turned away. (To Biden’s credit score, he has managed to enhance issues for youngsters touring alone and migrant households, though the bar set by the earlier administration was undoubtedly not very excessive.)
Here’s hoping some Republican governors get prosecuted for human trafficking, even when the visitors was within the path of locations like Martha’s Vineyard and Washington, D.C.
