It's not so much that DeSantis sent illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard.  It's the way he went about it.

The facts that they were flown via a chartered jet (expensive!), and that someone was waiting at Martha's Vineyard's airport to film them arriving, points to this being a horribly executed publicity stunt.  Were the alleged waivers written in Spanish?  Were the signatories literate in Spanish?  Were the signatories represented by their own legal counsel at the signing of these documents?

Why is the Governor of Florida, and the taxpayers of Florida, paying to relocate illegal immigrants from Texas?  DeSantis could have sent Massachusetts some Haitians or Dominicans.  We have some of the largest Haitain and Dominican communities in the nation.  How hard could it be to find an illegal Hatian or Dominican immigrant in Florida?

Could charges for conspiracy to commit interstate kidnapping or human trafficking be a possibility?

Plus, DeSantis had a fundraiser on Nantucket in August:

Ron DeSantis to attend fundraiser on Nantucket on Tuesday
By Brittany Bowker Globe Staff
Updated August 9, 2022, 4:04 p.m.


Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is set to attend a fundraiser on Nantucket Tuesday, an indication of the Republican’s rising profile on the national stage ahead of the midterm elections.

The fundraiser is being hosted by hedge fund titans Jim Pallotta and Dave Saunders and their wives, according to an invitation for the event obtained by the Globe.

The cost to attend is $5,000 per couple, according to the invitation, and the event begins at 5:30 p.m. Details about the location of the fundraiser were not included on the invite. ...

Wannabe GOP Presidential Nominees should not be caught fundraising on Nantucket, especially during Summer, and a month before flying illegal migrants to Martha's Vineyard under very questionable legal circumstances.

He could have done it without potential lying, misrepresentation, and legal liability if he just asked them if they wanted to be transported to Massachusetts, where the could recieve housing, support, and Massachsuetts driver's licenses.

This is not how a serious 2024 conducts himself and his campaign.  This had the execution of a drunken college fraternity panty raid gone wrong.

 Texas sheriff opens probe into DeSantis’s migrant flight to Martha’s Vineyard
by Chloe Folmar - 09/19/22 7:32 PM ET



Bexar County, Texas, Sheriff Javier Salazar opened an investigation on Monday into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) controversial transport of approximately 50 migrants from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.

“We are opening up a case, an investigation, with regard to the suspected activities involving the 48 migrants from Venezuela,” Salazar said in a news briefing.

The sheriff said that the group of Venezuelan migrants were “lured” from a migrant resource center into traveling to Martha’s Vineyard “under false pretenses.”

According to Salazar, one Venezuelan migrant was paid to recruit the others, who were allegedly promised work and other benefits, before the group was flown first to Florida and then to Massachusetts.

“They were taken to Martha’s Vineyard for, from what we can gather, for little more than a photo op, video op and then they were unceremoniously stranded in Martha’s Vineyard,” he said.

DeSantis flew the group of migrants north on Wednesday in an effort to draw attention to liberal vs. conservative immigration policies.

Democrats and immigration advocates had called for a probe into DeSantis’s actions, saying he may have broken laws against fraud or human trafficking.

The Hill has reached out to DeSantis’s office for comment.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) had previously sent busloads of migrants to Democratic-run cities including Washington, New York and Chicago, claiming that Democratic leaders support immigration laws that hurt border states without experiencing their negative repercussions.

Two buses of migrants last week arrived in front of the Naval Observatory, the residence of Vice President Kamala Harris, after being sent by Abbott.

“VP Harris claims our border is ‘secure’ & denies the crisis,” said Abbott in a statement about the transported migrants. “We’re sending migrants to her backyard to call on the Biden Administration to do its job & secure the border.”

Both Abbott and DeSantis are up for reelection this year, and are said to be eyeing potential 2024 White House bids.

Salazar said on Monday that the migrants from San Antonio were “exploited and hoodwinked into making this trip to Florida and then onward to Martha’s Vineyard for what I believe to be nothing more than political posturing to make a point.”

“What infuriates me the most about this case is that here we have 48 people that are already on hard times, they are here legally in our country at that point, they have every right to be where they are, and I believe that they were preyed upon,” he said.

The Hill has reached out to Salazar for further comment on the investigation.

Maybe the TX sheriff does have jurisdiction because the ILLEGALS were taken out of TX by a FL governor and then flown to Martha's.

I really like DeSantis, but I'm also wondering why he decided to transport them?  I get that he's trying to make a point, but it would be a little different scenario if he had taken ILLEGALS from FL and transported them to Martha's.

Maybe DeSantis wants this to go to court as technically, (at least in my mind) ILLEGALS aren't citizens and should have no rights.

The article states that the 48 transported were then here legally at that point???? WRONG in my books.

@DefiantMassRINO

Maybe the most dumbest post you have ever made. But pretty much what would expect from a NIMBY Yankee RINO.

50 people?  Why not come down here to Texas, and see what we are having to deal with.  Some times we have to inconvience NIMBY's like you to get our point across.

This was a masterstroke a genius to expose the hypocricy of your kind, and I hope he keeps it up.

It would have been a stroke of genius if the illegal immigrants were transported from Florida.

It would have been a stroke of genius if Governor Abbott had the illegal immigrants transported from Texas.

The Governor of Florida, using Florida taxpayer funds, transported illegal immigrants from Texas.  Ths exposes DeSantis to Federal criminal liability and Florida state political liability.

The Governor of Florida should be using Florida taxpayer funds to help Florida, not Texas.

Keep sending the illegals our way.  The bleeding heart liberals love them up here.

TIP: A "conservative" GOP contender for the 2024 Presidency should not be hanging out on Nantucket.  It's terrible optics.

I hope Ducey, Abbott, and DeSantis quadruple the flights and buses.  Time to give the north a taste of being a border state.

Do we see any pictures of the 48 illegals now?  We won't,  because they are in a lockup on a military base in Cape Cod.  Now, that would be bad optics!  Barracks, a fence, Guards all around.  Enough to make AOC burst into tears.

The are temporarily housed at Joint Base Edwards and they can leave any time they want to go anywhere they please.

Martha's Vineyard lacks the infrastructure to be a Point of Entry for the United States.

If the bleeding heart liberals didn't want them, the NIMBY's would have had them transported to Block Island, RI, or to Montauk, Long Island, New York.

Border State governors should offer illegal immigrants free, voluntary transportation North.  That's certainly less costly than housing, feeding, caring, educating, and incarcerating them.

If DeSantis wants to be President, he can't be caught hangin' in liberal enclaves like Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard.

Next time, charter a plane from Florida to fly illegal immigrants from Florida to Martha's Vineyard.  Is that so damn hard?

DeSantis isn't just playing to angry old white geezers driving around The Villages Retirement Community in golf carts.  He needs to up his game's execution if he wants to be President.
