Lawmakers included $12 million in the budget for the Department of Transportation to carry out a “program to facilitate the transport of unauthorized aliens from this state.” The DeSantis administration used $615,000 of that money to pay Vertol Systems Company, Inc. to transport two planeloads of migrants on Sept. 14 from San Antonio, Texas, to Martha’s Vineyard, with a stop in the Northwest Florida community of Crestview.

Wait, what? How is this not at the heart of the matter? How could money set aside by the legislature to fly immigrants out of Florida be used to fly immigrants into Florida?

And they’re blatantly breaking their own rules here. San Antonio to crestview is to not from.
Also it’s kidnapping and trafficking , but I guess the same rules don’t apply as usual. >

It’s seriously human trafficking and nobody says it >

Everyone is saying it but republicans, the migrants said they were told they were going to a place with jobs, housing, etc that’s why they agreed to the flight until they got put in a island with nothing but the clothes on their backs, they were lured under false pretenses, that’s kidnapping and trafficking (its also funny republicans cheer it on when it’s a republicans bringing more undocumented immigrants deeper into the country but that don’t talk about that or how it cost 12 million in our taxes for 2 plane rides because ya know fiscal responsibility and all that) >

Or how that it doesnt actually cost 12 million to move that many people, but they were paying that 12 million to large donors to the party to do the dirty work. The reason that taxes don't drop unless you are wealthy is that Conservatives don't plan on stopping government functions, just privatizing them and collecting those tax dollars for their special interests. >

The fact is that DeSantis knows what he did was in violation of Florida law, but he simply doesn't care because:

The cruelty is the point, 
When he's slapped down by the courts, he'll go whine to Fox News that a "woke judge" is stopping him from doing what's right for the people of Florida , and 
Any repercussions will be borne by Florida taxpayers. >

4:  Florida taxpayers don't care they are paying for it with their taxes because of point 1 >

I care, but people here don’t get that it’s their money. They’re either in agreement with doing political stunts or too dumb to realize the money could be used to better their lives. It’s probably both. >

Well it’s not just Florida republicans that are too dumb to realize our tax dollars could be used to better their lives. >

Ohhh, that's gonna piss off DeSantis...
Authoritarians do not like having their requests denied.
I'm sure he's looking into ways that he can have this judge removed. >

Well obviously he needs to send a bus load of migrants to this judge’s house. That’ll show him who’s boss! >

Taxpayer money fixes obnoxious stuff right away! >

Fascist Floridians Prefer Pan Handle Hitler. >

Not all of us, it’s tough outside of Tampa/St Pete tho
