DeSantis flies illegals to Martha's Vineyard
Lawmakers in Massachusetts were tasked with caring for dozens of migrants Wednesday after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planes full of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, a ritzy island located in Dukes County.
On Wednesday, Democratic lawmakers voiced their criticism online after they were forced to act swiftly to provide them shelter, food, blankets and other necessities to the 50 migrants who now reside in their state.
Rep. Dylan Fernandes, a local lawmaker who represents Martha's Vineyard as well as Falmouth, Nantucket and Gosnold, said on social media that he was part of the logistical effort to welcome the migrants, which he claimed DeSantis sent "to gain cheap political points."

"Currently immigrants are being dropped off on Martha's Vineyard by chartered flights from Texas," he said in another tweet. "Many don't know where they are. They say they were told they would be given housing and jobs. Islanders were given no notice but are coming together as a community to support them."

In another tweet, Fernandes described the migrant drop-off as "evil and inhumane" and accused Republicans of using human lives "as political pawns."

DeSantis has repeatedly accused Democrats of incentivizing migrants to cross over the U.S.-Mexico border, which continues to see record-high crossings.

The Florida governor has since promised to transport illegal immigrants to progressive states, which now includes the New England state in addition to Washington D.C., Delaware and New York.

More need to be sent to the liberal states so they can see how obscene Biden and the Democrats' policies are. We should also be sending plane loads to Deleware.
