The White House maintains that the red-eye flights of immigrants around the US weren’t in secret. I find that kind of interesting because the governor of Florida, who reportedly received more than 70 planes containing illegals, wasn’t notified—At all.
“There’s no notification to the state of Florida,” DeSantis said as he described the process of how the Biden administration sends illegal aliens into his state. “These are done mostly in the middle of the night. And it’s clandestine. And we really have no say into it. … I know when we initially got wind of this, it wasn’t through normal channels, it’s people in the federal government who are effectively leaking this to us so that we have a heads up on it.”
DeSantis revealed in an interview that he has big plans for Biden’s illegals that were carelessly dumped in his state. Before revealing his intentions, DeSantis slammed Biden for offering massive payouts to families reportedly separated at the border by the Trump administration. Biden plans to pay families who broke the law to enter the US $450,000 per person.
“The President has said that basically, they want to even pay reparations to people who came illegally, just think about that,” DeSantis said. “You as an American, you get higher gas prices, you get higher grocery bills, you get told basically, to just grin and bear it, someone breaks the law, comes illegally, and they’re going to cut him a check for hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is just unbelievable. But that’s what we’re dealing with.”
DeSantis says that the flights actually started back in May. The Florida mayor dropped a great idea on what to do:
“You know, my view would be, why don’t we, if they’re going to come here, you know, we’ll provide buses,” DeSantis said, “I will send them to Delaware and do that. I mean, if he’s not going to support the border being secured, then he should be able to have everyone there. So, we will do whatever we can in that regard. And we are absolutely going to do everything we can.”
DeSantis said that Florida was looking at ways of going after the contractors that the Biden administration was using to fly the illegal aliens into the state, saying, “we should be able to have consequences for those contractors and your ability to do business in Florida I should absolutely be curtailed based on whether or not you’re bringing problems or not bringing problems.”
DeSantis noted that his administration plans to sue Biden but adds that he doubts Biden will abide by any ruling.
“But even then, you saw what happened with the OSHA decision,” DeSantis said. “It was stayed by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, meaning not in effect, and what did the Biden administration say to businesses? Ignore the court and follow our rule anyways. And so, I think that they basically said, ‘No, to hell with these court decisions,’ they’re going to do whatever they feel like doing. And so that’s something that’s problematic, because we can even win in court, and they may disregard guard that.”
Watch
Recently, DeSantis slammed Biden for slipping an accused killer on one of his flights. The illegal reportedly posed as a teen and stands accused of murdering a father of 4. The attack was reportedly caught on the victim’s home security cameras.
