Republicans in the Florida legislature have approved $10 million to fly border crossers and illegal aliens to sanctuary jurisdictions. The legislation is expected to be signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
Late last week, Republicans in the Florida House voted to approve a bill that will authorize the state to spend up to $10 million transporting border crossers and illegal aliens to sanctuary jurisdictions throughout the United States.
The Florida Senate approved the bill earlier last week and DeSantis is expected to sign the bill into law sometime before February 25.
“The state of Florida is not, and never will be, a sanctuary state,” State Sen. Blaise Ingoglia (R) told FOX13 News in a statement. “It’s time for those sanctuary cities to put their money where their mouth is.”
Last year, DeSantis swept national attention when he sent two flights of illegal aliens to the ultra-liberal elite island of Martha’s Vineyard. Quickly after their arrival, officials on the island declared a “humanitarian crisis” and Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) intervened to bus the illegal aliens off the island to Joint Base Cape Cod.
Well, there was over a $21 BILLION FLA state surplus last fiscal year…….so rather approving that $10 million – how about a tax REBATE to the tax payer??
I know he’s very high on the 2024 chart – but you have to read all the fine print. If there is a state surplus – either place that in a rainy day fund for NEEDS or give it back to the taxpayer. Gov’t money is provided by the taxpayer.
We are talking BILLIONS here – not millions.
What was the surplus in MD? Im waiting – I think its smart and hope he parks them on Nancy Pelosi door step
10:08, the illegals will cost tax payers Billions through housing, food, medical, crime, etc, etc. You are missing the big picture.
Not missing the BIGGER picture. Amnesty is close by since we will NOT send folks back. Period end of story. Also, state govts are not for profit, so when one state (FLA) has a its largest surplus in history and it was $21 BILLLLLION – WTH? A state having several MILLION left over (normally due to bad projections), that money goes to a rainy day fund OR back to the taxpayer.
Can’t do banking off taxpayers – unless…oh what was I thinking…being a politician.
Asking for forgiveness for not knowing better. (SARCASM OFF)
FILL-EM-UP !!!!!! LOL LOL USING Democrat Money $$$$$$$$ !!!!!!!!
Give the Millions to AMERICANS Not ILLEGALS !!!!!!
Fly them into Georgetown airport.
Those “sanctuary cities” will continue to cry “foul” and successfully petition the state and feds for funding.
