Florida Senator Ron DeSantis had a strong message for migrants seeking to enter the country.
"We are not a sanctuary state," he said during a press event Thursday. "And its better to be able to go to a sanctuary jurisdiction."
This comes after the governor sent about 50 migrants on planes to Martha's Vineyard Wednesday.
"And yes, we will help facilitate that transport for you to be able to go to greener pastures," he said, speaking to potential migrants thinking of coming to Florida.
The Republican governor also called on President Joe Biden to "do his damn job and secure the border."
DeSantis called out Democratic leaders who boasted about being sanctuary cities under the Trump administration.
"The minute even a small fraction of what those border towns deal with every day is brought to their front door they all of a sudden go berserk and they're so upset this is happening," he said. "It just shows you their virtue signaling is a fraud."
He said Democrats are supporting "indefensible" immigration policies under the Biden administration.
"It is not defensible for a superpower to not have any control the territory of its country," he said.
DeSantis said Biden inherited a better border situation and has now brought upon an immigration crisis.

(Tongue-in-cheek commentary)
You have to commend DeSantis for his blunt honesty toward all those illegal immigrants. He is, in fact, doing the right thing by sending them to those places where they are welcome. Why can’t the Democrats see that?
Uhh... because they're stupid ?
You know, these are all sanctuary cities until they’re in their sanctuary. - Mike Pompeo 9/14/22
“Their virtue signaling is a fraud.”
Wow, that’s a good one.
Sometimes it’s best if you say nothing. There a lot of instances where Republicans shoot themselves in the foot for no good reason.
In this case the Democrats should have shut up and said nothing, it’s only drawing attention to the problem right before the mid-term elections.
How about.....that they are two-faced hypocrites?
And Martha’s Vinyard is going to move them “off-island”.
If you feel you have reached this number in error. Please hang up and try again.

The thing about DeSantis is he isn’t a talker, he’s a doer. The guy is amazing. And if we elect Kari Lake in Arizona, she will be just as solid and innovative.
Lots of hurricanes in Florida. Can’t subject the poor “migrants” to that, can we?
Uhh... because they're stupid ?They want you to think they're stupid, they aren't, they know exactly what they're doing.
The demonic Gavin Newsom is considering kidnapping indictments against anyone sending illegals to other states.
They think they can get away with anything now and have the media and DC to fully back them up.
First point: What do they think was happening these past YEARS when the DC politicians shipped illegals from Texas to
southern and northeastern states, especially small towns?
THAT was okay? Because they did it?
Surely these liberal cities would relish the task of taking care of illegal aliens!
Delaware is nice and green this time of year and they might get a chance to meet the old man there.
They’ll never take this to court.
Excellent!

And how awful those Red states are, according to democrats. They should be excited to show the world their compassion. I think some elite colleges deserve many bus loads full. Let them live with the diversity they say they desire.
