Yesterday the Florida Governor budget proposal allocated a tidy sum to transport migrants awaiting asylum claims to Delaware and Massachusetts.
Appears to be a solid legal move. No single state is more or less obligated to house and welcome the considerable influx that Biden has encouraged.
The potential outcome could be a sinister game of Greyhound Bus hot potato as migrants are shipped state to state and town to town. Are so called sanctuary locations stepping up?
Could Biden administration challenge this and how?
Florida continues to be home to one of the nation’s largest illegal alien populations. At least 775,000 illegal aliens reside in the state — as many as reside in New York — out of the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens who live across the United States. Only Texas and California have larger illegal alien populations.
It’s not like we haven’t had immigrants, both legal and illegal, before. Latino, Asian, African, North African, various Europeans.
Can’t say I’m losing any sleep over this. Most I know with a welfare state mentality are native born, followed by some legal emigres, and these same individuals stick their noses up in the air at people from states like Florida as poor and racist.
Pot meet kettle. Maybe the latest group of border crossers is no better than some of our established populations. They couldn’t possibly be any worse.
So first this has to pass the Florida Legislature, which it probably will. And then he will have to get $8M of federal funding. And the Biden administration is going to give him $8M so he can campaign against Biden’s policies? Good luck with that. This is a publicity move to make some campaign commercials. Nothing more will come of this.
The people backing this open door madness should be required to house, feed, and pay for one migrant instead of asking others to so they can feel better about themselves. No country in the world does illegal immigration at these numbers. The wave in 2022 will be self inflicted and likely epic.
