Transport of migrants/refugees from red states to blue ones
This discussion is getting spread across a multitude of topics. With at least three states I am aware of actively transporting, two of them in cahoots, here is a home for those discussions. To start with, Gavin Newsome request Garland and the DOJ investigate.

Good for Governor Newsome. I was just appalled this morning when the two buses showed up in the VP residence and the only person(s) who seemed to have a heads up was the Fox News reporter and camera guy.

Re: Transport of migrants/refugees from red states to blue ones
I wonder what the status of these immigrants is, did CBP pick them up, process, them and let them free until their interview, or did TX and FL pick them up, and rather than hand them over to CBP shove them far inland.

I want to know how DeSantis is doing it for $12M. We have $15M allocated here in AZ for immigrant relocation (so far,) and I don't know where it is all going to. Fuel?

To underscore the blatant, disgusting dehumanization:
In D.C., a Fox camera was positioned to film the drop-off. Fox had apparently been alerted, but not the city government or nonprofit organizers waiting for any potential migrants at Union Station.

FL/TX gave them bad info which would have screwed them over, immigration-wise, as well. I'm so surprised.

Re: Transport of migrants/refugees from red states to blue ones
Worth noting for Florida tax payers is that these refugees from Venezuela came from...Texas. Florida had the same number of "illegals" before and after this stunt.
Travis Akers @travisakers wrote: Gov. Ron DeSantis used $615,000 in tax payer dollars to send 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard.
That's $12,300 per human on the plane that came out of the pockets of hard-working Floridians to pay for a political stunt, exploiting children for his personal gain.

Re: Transport of migrants/refugees from red states to blue ones
From an old (Oct ‘21) news story:
https://news.yahoo.com/biden-administra ... 50591.htmlThe Biden administration has been quietly flying underage illegal immigrants from Texas to New York late at night for more than two months in an effort to resettle the tens of thousands of migrants taken into custody at the border in recent weeks, according to a new report.
A New York Post analysis of online flight-tracking data suggests that some 2,000 migrants have arrived at the Westchester County Airport in suburban New York on 21 flights since August 8. Many of the planes landed between midnight and 6:30 a.m., when a voluntary curfew is in effect.
The report describes late-night flights arriving under the cover of dark, filled with children and teens. New York Post reporters watched two planes land at the airport, where most of the passengers who deplaned seemed to be children and teens, with a small number appearing to be men in their 20s.
Many of the migrants were then seen meeting with relatives or sponsors in New Jersey or being dropped off at the Syosset, Long Island campus of MercyFirst, a nonprofit sponsored by the Catholic Sisters of Mercy. MercyFirst provides housing and services for “children and adolescents who are the victims of societal problems,” according to its website, which adds that it has a contract to supply the federal government with residential services for “immigrant youth.”
Someone familiar with the situation reportedly told the outlet that underage migrants usually arrive carrying backpacks and are bused to locations in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, upstate Newburgh, and Bridgeport and Danbury in Connecticut.
The report adds that many of the flights from Texas first touch down in Jacksonville, Fla., before continuing to Westchester. On Saturday, reporters saw a Boeing 737-700 land shortly after 10 p.m. at Jacksonville International Airport. A group of ten to 15 people got onto a charter bus near a quiet cargo terminal and traveled two hours to Twin Oaks Academy, a juvenile detention center in the Apalachicola National Forest near Tallahassee.
A spokesperson for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis questioned why the Biden administration is resettling the migrants in “secrecy” if it is “so confident that their open border policy is good for our country.”
“Why is the Biden Administration refusing to share even the most basic information about illegal alien resettlement in communities throughout our state and the entire country?” spokeswoman Christina Pushaw said.
Former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican candidate for governor, told the paper that smaller planes first began arriving in April. Early on, the flights were not “as frequent,” he said.
He detailed a news conference he held at the airport in August during which he saw a flight arrive with at least 50 to 70 migrants, most of whom appeared to be men older than 20. The migrants boarded a bus that pulled up next to the airstairs, obscuring the view of people boarding it.
He accused the Biden administration of “systematically spreading the southern border crisis to communities all around the country, often shrouded in secrecy and under the cloak of darkness.”

Is that not something totally different than what is going on here? They were prepared for them and the whole thing was coordinated. Not sure what your point is.

Not sure if it's true but when I was on my phone, I saw something that said DeSantis spent over $600,000 on two planes to fly 50 immigrants from Tx to Martha's Vineyard, working out to over $13K per person.
Yeah, like he couldn't have spent that $$ on getting us teachers.
