Ron DeSantis can now fly MORE migrants to Democrat-run cities: Florida Republicans pass law giving him $12 million for project that shipped border crossers to Martha's Vineyard.
Ron DeSantis now has at his disposal $12 million to fly migrants to Democratic enclaves after the Florida legislature passed on Tuesday a new measure that helps fund the controversial program.
In September, the Florida governor flew four dozen migrants from Texas to the swanky Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard. The stunt caused an uproar from immigration advocates and Democrats after the migrants had to find ways off the island.
DeSantis is expected to announce a run for president in coming months.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is deploying 1,500 troops to the southern border to help with any impending surges that could happen with the end of pandemic-era Title 42 on May 11.
Republicans lament that President Joe Biden and Democrats have long ignored the crisis at the southern border because it is only affecting red states like Texas, Arizona and Florida.
This has led to governors, including those from Texas, Arizona and Florida, sending migrants from their states to so-called sanctuary cities like Washington, D.C., New York City and Chicago.
Florida's Republican supermajority legislature signed-off on sweeping new legislation to appropriate millions for this initiative of transporting migrants.
The number of migrants who are sent to Democratic jurisdictions by Florida's governor could increase exponentially with the end of pandemic-era Title 42 next week.
