You’re welcome, and I only wish Governor Abbott and other Red State governors would do the same. The cost is next to nothing and the political benefit to the governor and of course the recipients cannot be measured...and it the same time, it’s a very cheap and effective way to get a dig in at this Administration (unfairly, but I don’t care).
Without free rides from governors, people who want out are forced to sign open-ended Promissory Notes from the US Government to get out. The last I heard, they wound up getting charged $3k each to get out of Central America when the virus hit in 2020. God only knows what they’d charge to get out of Israel. This is a sick feature of our government and it’s not only Biden, but goes back to Trump (i.e., 2020) and prior.
Again, the cost to the government - either US or state-level, is PEANUTS, compared to other spending. For example, two days in the hospital for a fat moma on Medicaid probably cost more than the 300 rescued Floridians.
