“With this move, this stunt, obviously he made his base very happy,” said Adelys Ferro, the executive director of the Venezuelan American Caucus. “But there are many people more toward the middle and people who are independents that are very disgusted and that reject all of this.”

“We are Venezuelan Americans and we vote, and we’re going to vote in November,” she added. “And we’re never going to vote for somebody who does this.”

Florida has far too many illegals and green card holders who have flouted election law to be able to vote Democrat in state and federal elections. We have them in our own community. The county supervisors of election and the state AG's are aiding and abetting. I can't imagine this happening in any other country on earth.

Laughable BS. Most see and applaud Heavy D’s complete exposure of elitist Leftist hypocrisy and lies.

Besides, he is utterly crushing Charlie Crist. This isn’t even a contest. Florida loves governor DeSantis.

“We are Venezuelan Americans and we vote, and we’re going to vote in November,” she added. “And we’re never going to vote for somebody who does this.”

I believe these are the people most likely to support the flights - because they did everything legit and have to deal with these illegals in their areas and workplaces.

Ladies and gentlemen, the comedy stylings of Yahoo news!

Ok Yahoo, thanks for the daily wish piece.

He doesn’t risk any voter backlash.

Illegal immigration isn’t viewed in the real world the same way it is amongst your constituency of rich, costal elites and suburban Karens.

Right off the bat...I noted it was a Yahoo-article, so it’s a ‘8’ on the biased scale.

If you quizzed people across Florida...it’s probably one-quarter who think it was wrong or unfair, with 10-percent having no opinion. Everyone else is thinking it’s the right step at this point in time.

“And we’re never going to vote for somebody who does this.”

She was never going to vote for him in the first place.

Meanwhile, DeSantis continues to widen his lead over the other guy every day.

The normal election year FUD from very scared Democrats over their coming crushing loss in November ?
Yup.
The Dems have close to zero chance of coming even close to beating DeSantis.

[lee martell]

Quite the opposite.

[jmaroneps37]

Ha ha ha ha ha go away ash hole and try something else. Our governor is the most popular governor in America.

[Gay State Conservative]

Anyone who settled in this country legally and is now legally eligible to vote is *very* likely to support DeSantis on this.

Florida has far too many illegals and green card holders who have flouted election law to be able to vote Democrat in state and federal elections.

Yeah?
So how come the Dems lost every single big state wide election and are on track to get crushed again in November?

[kearnyirish2]

I agree; they are untaxed competition for jobs, and unwelcome neighbors in neighborhoods.

[cyclotic]

No. He doesn’t.

[chuckee]

Wishful thinking from the cub faux reporters at Yahoo news reported as news.

[BitWielder1]

Backlash only from people who would not vote for him anyway.
It will strengthen him among his base and undecideds.

Yahoo: The left’s Gateway Pundit.

[Gay State Conservative]

Very true...and there's also the attitude that “hey,I jumped through a hundred hoops,waited for years and had to pay thousands and now they just waltz (or swim) in”.

[Obadiah]

Obvious propaganda.

[MayflowerMadam]

Fake news. It’s just the opposite. (But they’re trying their best to sabotage RD.)
