About 50 migrants arrived by plane in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., Wednesday on a flight paid for by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and that originated in San Antonio, Texas.
The migrants touched down at about 3:15 p.m. local time. Later Wednesday, a spokesperson for DeSantis sent a statement to NPR and other news outlets confirming that the migrants were transported by Florida under a state program that was funded by the legislature earlier this year. The statement reads in part: "States like Massachusetts, New York and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration."
The Florida statement refers to two planes, but local officials at Martha's Vineyard say there was only one.

I don't care where they were told. They are illegal migrants and it's ok with democrats as long as they stay in Texas and Arizona. But wait a minute...not in my city or backyard! Can't have that.

Martha's Vineyard doesn't have the services for that. Why they sent them there instead of Boston, well let's just say it wasn't done with good intentions.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel chip...most times I understand...but this time the fascist, racist, childish propaganda actions were from Dems not locking down the and border leaving FL, TX, and AZ with the problem....its ok for them to come as long as the stay south...the racist piece of this sounds like Jim Crow separate but equal...they are good and equal as long as I and my state taxpayets don't have to take care of them in my Dem city!
