If Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gets his way, the good liberals who live on Martha’s Vineyard are going to get what they voted for in 2020.
Good and hard. Again.
Speaking of President Joe Biden permitting Haitian illegal-aliens to invade the country, the GOP chief executive told podcaster Dana Loesch yesterday that if they land in Florida, they might get a free plane ticket to the posh summer retreat off the coast of Massachusetts. The transportation plan, he warned, is ready.
In 2022, when DeSantis sent a squadron of Venezuelan “migrants” to the island, the residents erupted in rage. Open-borders leftists sued DeSantis.
Nonetheless, DeSantis was firm: Florida doesn’t need Biden’s Haitians.
The Podcast
DeSantis threatened the flight while explaining the difficulty in dealing with seaborne illegals, versus those who cross the southwest border with Mexico.
DeSantis said Florida authorities and the U.S. Coast Guard have been stopping vessels, and that Florida had repelled 660 “migrant boats” and 13,000 illegals.
Not so when illegals are stopped at the border. DeSantis said once illegals are turned over to the Border Patrol, Biden frees them to colonize the heartland. Thus, with Florida, they must be interdicted before they land.
“I’ve got enough issues just dealing with people fleeing from blue states moving into Florida.… I can’t be having people coming illegally from Haiti into Florida.”
He said Florida Fish and Wildlife had intercepted a boat with 25 Haitians who possessed, guns, drugs, and night-vision equipment.
Continued DeSantis:
The problem when you get to a situation like Florida is, if they have people in our state and we wanted to fly them, say, back to Haiti, you have to get clearance to be able to do that. If you wanted to fly somebody to a South American country, or wherever they’re from, it becomes a little bit more difficult because the federal government’s gonna tell the host countries not to accept our planes.
So we’ve gone through these iterations. What could we do as a state? I definitely think we can help put them back over the border if they come across in Texas or Arizona. And so I’d be willing to help do that. I think that the states really have no other choice to do that at that point. It’s a little bit different for a maritime state like us. We’ve really got to get them before they reach the shores. And that’s why we’re working so hard to do that.
Though I will say this: We do have our transport program, also, that’s going to be operational. So [if] Haitians land in the Florida Keys their next stop very well may be Martha’s Vineyard.
Martha’s Vineyard, Here They Come
The worthies at Martha’s Vineyard, where the average income is $139,158 and Joe Biden received almost 80 percent of the vote, had better be prepared. DeSantis isn’t kidding.
In September 2022, DeSantis sent 50 Venezuelans to the island’s sandy shores, and the Ray-Banned and Rolexed residents were none too happy about it.
Immediately, Governor Charlie Baker deployed the National Guard to round up the illegals and send them where they belong: anywhere but Martha’s Vineyard.
Lisa Belcastro, manager of the island homeless shelter, told the New York Times what was up:
We are definitely supplying them with a lot of love. They need to be off island. Their immigration appointments are not here.
Belcastro said the island’s residents, which include former President Barack Hussein Obama, who owns on a $12 million, 29-acre estate there, just didn’t have the money and the housing to keep them. Obama didn’t offer to house the illegals despite having plenty of money and plenty of room on his property. Had he taken them in, the population density would have less than two Venezuelans per acre.
A Florida state senator sued DeSantis, arguing that the spending to charter the flight was unconstitutional. A judge dismissed that lawsuit when the legislature appropriated funds to move illegals out of the state.
The open-borders lawsuit filed by some of the Venezuelans is pending.
Lock Your Doors
If DeSantis does ship a planeload of Haitians to the Biden voters of Martha’s Vineyard, they might wish to take precaution to protect life and limb.
As The New American reported on March 18, one of Biden’s Haitians is charged with the rape of a 15-year-old girl at a “migrant” hotel in Rockland, Massachusetts, about 35 minutes south of Boston.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin revealed that rape suspect Cory Alvarez, 26, “came to the U.S. via the Biden admin’s parole program for Haitians, which allowed him to fly into JFK airport in NYC direct from Haiti in June 2023 w/ a 2 year parole grant.” He had a “sponsor” in New Jersey.
Biden’s illegal parole program envisions importing 360,000 illegals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela annually.
