DeSantis flying migrants to Martha's Vineyard is the evilest version of a GOP game
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unexpectedly sent two planes carrying mostly Venezuelan immigrants, including children, to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday.
It’s the most sadistic iteration of a scheme preferred by governors of Republican states: dumping migrants on northern progressive cities as a political stunt against President Joe Biden’s immigration policy.

The two flights were part of a state program to transport undocumented immigrants to sanctuary cities, for which the Florida Legislature designated $12 million this year.
Imagine that — $12 million of taxpayers’ money being used for political stunts. Even while facing backlash over the move, DeSantis doubled down on Friday suggesting that we will see “more and more” flights like these. “I’m going to make sure we exhaust all those funds,” he told reporters. It’s been reported that the migrants said they were unaware that they were going to Martha’s Vineyard, were promised aid and housing and had to walk miles from the airport to seek help.
