This is a postscript to another article published here earlier today.
Governor Ronald DeSantis has taken responsibility for flying people out of Texas to Martha's Vineyard:
DeSantis claimed credit for the planes leaving Texas. He told NPR and other outlets that it was part of the state’s program to relocate migrants to a “sanctuary destination.” It’s unclear whether the migrants in the planes had any connection to Florida. The Florida Legislature set aside $12 million for the state’s migrant relocation program.
Stephen Neukam, Fight over border security escalates after governors send migrants to Kamala Harris’ home, Martha’s Vineyard / The latest moves by Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week have triggered outrage among immigration rights’ groups and Democrats who have accused the Republicans of engaging in human trafficking and treating migrants like “human cargo” to score political points, TEXAS TRIBUNE, Sept. 15, 2022. Mr. DeSantis apparently gets publicity out of it.
What does Florida get out of it? Why are these flights being paid for by Florida taxpayers? Is Texas going to reimburse Florida? Is DeSantis going to pay for these flights? Is his publicist? Is his campaign going to pay?
I ask again, why are Florida taxpayers paying for these flights of people out of Texas to Martha's Vineyard?
