The Trump administration is preparing to move hundreds of immigrants from overcrowded camps along the U.S. border to Broward and Palm Beach counties, local officials said Thursday.
Broward Mayor Mark Bogen and Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said they were told to expect two planeloads of immigrants each week, starting in about two weeks. The 270 weekly passengers — about 1,000 each month — would be split, with half going to Palm Beach County and half to Broward.
Confusion and disbelief swirled late Thursday around the reports, which were not confirmed or acknowledged by the Trump administration. Local members of Congress, Florida’s two Republican senators and even Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said they didn’t know about it.
“The governor’s office was not informed of this decision,” his spokeswoman said in an email. “Florida counties do not have the resources to accommodate an influx of illegal immigrants.”
In an afternoon news conference organized after the news broke, Sheriff Bradshaw said the Miami border patrol operations chief “came up” to talk to him about it earlier this week.
Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony, a DeSantis appointee, also said he was advised, but not by border patrol. In an email, Tony said the information, which “was also shared with me by my trusted colleague” Bradshaw, was not confirmed by state or federal officials. He said he passed it on to Bogen so Broward could be prepared, and is “currently awaiting a scheduled calendar meeting with my County Commissioners.”
The immigrants are families who crossed the border illegally into El Paso, Texas, and who indicated they were Florida-bound, Bradshaw said. They will be processed at U.S. Customs and Border Protection Offices in Dania Beach and in Riviera Beach, and released into the community, expected to return for hearings, he said.

You get what you vote for, they are solid Rat counties.
Embrace the Suck!
Brace bitch. We have an unending supply.
See tag line....
And tell me how they will clean these flying Greyhounds after transporting these people? I’ll drive, thank you.
This must be the first time in world history where the invaders if a foreign country were welcomed With Open Arms, while being flown into the interior of the invaded country. THEN, given food, shelter, medical attention, housing, education and creature comforts after arrival.
America Is Screwed. We knew the well...
No borders = no country, no culture.
Overrun from within. Sanctioned by the government of America. Financed by the taxpayers.
Does anyone here think the invasion will be stopped or reversed?
I sure as hell don’t.
It might have the opposite effect.
The Mariel Boat Lift was a factor in Jimmy Carter losing to Reagan.
At this rate they’ll have more illegals than carpet bagging New Yorker’s.
Hello, Broward and Palm-Beach Counties! The Dems you claim on your voter registration rolls will be arriving to you shortly.
Give the cockpit crew parachutes and point the planes on autopilot into the Bermuda Triangle. It is close
Yep. They want illegal alien invasion; they got it.
Enjoy, liberals!!

Ah, Broward - isn’t that where they elected muslim (and oddly-named) Scott Israel?
Reagan didn’t get a wall either. Just a quick skim of history shows the moment you compromise, you lose. I am tired of 10,000 per month bakrupting our ss and ither systems. Our kids and their children will pay the ultimate price, i am not ok with that.
Haaaahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahah!~
and it will be Trump’s fault, and they will elect more f’n democraps.
Don’t know but Riviera Beach is a sh*t hole.
Personally,I’m for opening fire at the border and door to door roundups-putting them all onto barges then sinking them. Somehow I doubt such a permanent solution will be forthcoming.
I love the in your face move, but they’re still in the frickin’ country!
