oh the drama...significant

the little bus loads Adams sent would not even register...DeSantis sent a plane to Martha's Vineyard

"As of late September, more than 118,800 migrants had arrived in New York City since the spring of 2022."

Eric Adams sent migrants to Florida, Texas

In total, Abbott has sent about 9,700 migrants to New York City while DeSantis has sent about 85 to Martha’s Vineyard and California.

Florida is worse, in my opinion, because we don't even share a border with Texas. Desantis used taxpayer revenue to do this, very clearly as an immature "neener neener" fart-joke type of stunt simply because he could, and no one was willing to stop him.

Perhaps if the ENTIRE COUNTRY was a sanctuary country, which is why it exists AS a country in the first place, we wouldn't have these problems at all.

Unless you're a Native American, or of Mexican descent whose descendants lived in Texas before it became a state - then you have no claim over North America at all. America was founded by people who were escaping their home country in search of a better life, better opportunity, better environment, and freedom from the religious tyranny they came from.

And because of that whole "Texas used to be Mexico" thing - I'll say that Mexicans have more of a claim on this country than the rest of us do.

Far more illegals of all kinds are flowing into the southern states such as Texas, AZ, NM, and Florida than are going into the northern states. Why shouldn't DeSantis and Abbott "share the wealth" and send the northern states their fair share?

BTW, the US IS a sanctuary country for LEGAL immigrants. Why are you so supportive of those who deliberately break our immigration laws?

Some people want chaos to replace harmony and law. They want serious criminals release without bail, chairs being flung at teachers (link), false fire alarms being pulled (link), and just general disorder, chaos and anarchy.

Perhaps you don't understand how refugee status and asylum works. And maybe you don't understand the term "illegal immigrant." That term is a slur, and has no meaning in law. The legal term is "undocumented immigrant." And undocumented immigrants are allowed to cross the border, in order to seek asylum or refugee status. Our laws are very clear about that.

See here for the government website FAQ that explains the system in detail:

Dade and Palm Beach, yes, but not Broward. It held true to its deep blue tendencies.

Broward, the only South Florida county that wasn’t swayed by an authoritarian swindler…

I can't answer for Chas but I am considering switching to Republican and I loath Trump and DeSantis. I'll be doing it for the hate and intolerance mainly but also for the favorable tax policy for corporations and wealthy individuals. I'm tired of the atheist Democrats' despicable harvesting of adrenochrome from kidnapped children and spending my tax dollars to feed school kids and disadvantaged people. We need to put God back in every aspect of government and stop sending these nationwide alerts to our phones to turn on the Marberg virus that they put in the Covid vaccines. Did I mention "climate change"? Democrats want us all to pay higher prices for everything to "reduce carbon emissions" because it got hot this summer. Geez.

Having said all that, if Trump or DeSantis is the candidate I'll be voting Biden again, sex trafficking and Hunter's laptop be damned.

I don't like how Florida releases voters registration information to everyone else. Shouldn't that be kept private?

I felt violated when I found this out, & would not have registered the way I did had I known.

Do other states make it public, or is that unique to Florida?

I only have 2 friends that blindly vote for the party they’re registered with.

The rest are registered republicans who vote according to who they prefer, regardless of party affiliation.

It’s strange to me how many on this thread assume all registered Republicans will only/always vote Republican.
All but one of my Republican friends despise Desantis and trump.

Excellent point.
