Biden trying to change Florida demographics

 National Review:

Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R) spoke out against the Biden administration’s migrant-flight program on Wednesday in response to the release of new data showing 300,000 migrants have been flown into the sunshine state on the taxpayer’s dime.

DeSantis addressed the migrant flights in a speech after new data from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found nearly 326,000 migrants have been flown from abroad to Florida through a parole program expanded by the Biden administration.

“They don’t tell us anytime somebody comes in,” DeSantis said. “We can’t verify that, they don’t give us information on it, we have not seen though large numbers in our communities all of the sudden.”

“It may be the case [Biden] is bringing people in under this illegal parole program, and then they’re migrating to sanctuary jurisdictions,” he added. “We’re not a sanctuary state. We don’t have sanctuary cities. We’ve took action to where you’re not getting a driver’s license. You’re not getting ID cards.”

The Biden administration announced in January 2023 an expanded parole process for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Colombians modeled after the October 2022 parole expansion for Venezuelans and Ukrainians. Under this program, at least 386,000 migrants have been flown into U.S. airports, and at least 326,000 of them landed into Florida, CIS found by studying public information on the U.S. customers and border protection’s website.

“This early evidence suggests that a great many of these inadmissible alien passengers, probably a majority, initially land at international airports in Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Florida. In fact, Florida turns out to be the top landing and U.S. customs processing zone for this direct-flights parole-and-release program, tallying at nearly 326,000 of the initial arrivals from inception through February,” observed CIS senior national security fellow Todd Bensman in a post explaining the migrant flight data.

The number of incoming migrant flights is potentially much higher because migrants could be arriving in international airports and transferring to domestic flights to end up in cities hours away from their initial landing spot, Bensman noted. The transfer flights would not be reflected in the data analyzed by CIS. The Biden administration has not released the airport locations for these flights and CIS is currently fighting them in court for the information.

The state of Florida has filed or joined five lawsuits fighting against the Biden administration’s efforts to use the parole process to release illegal migrants into the U.S., and the DeSantis administration is proactively addressing record levels of illegal immigration across the southern border.

Biden is trying to change the demographics of both Florida and Texas which have become reliable GOP states in recent years.  He is doing it by importing illegals into those states.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
