Will DeSantis send Haitians to Martha’s Vineyard?

The Hill ran a story Wednesday misleadingly headlined, “DeSantis says he might send any Haitian immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard.” The Hill’s moronic headline was misleading because the Haitians are garden-variety border-jumpers, not Haiti — an island a few hundred miles from Florida’s coast — is up to its sacrificial voodoo chickens in a bloody civil war.

Early this week, amidst the chaos, one of Haiti’s worst prisons allowed around 4,000 hardcore offenders to escape, and they were rumored to be sailing to the Sunshine State.

In a podcast interview Tuesday, Florida Governor DeSantis told podcast host Dana Loesch that, “We do have our transport program also that’s going to be operational. So, Haitians land in the Florida Keys, their next stop very well may be Martha’s Vineyard.”

Chic sanctuary city Martha’s Vineyard would be a great destination for the border-jump… I mean the restless souls yearning to be free. But, sadly for the Haitians, they are about to discover they escaped one CIA-fueled civil war to land right in another.

DeSantis’s press conference about the interdictions last week was extremely encouraging. DeSantis said that since January, Florida has interdicted six hundred and seventy Haitian border-swamping boats and thirteen thousand illegal aliens. He described a boat Florida stopped packed with 25 military-aged Haitians with drugs, guns, and night vision gear. So they’re not poor.

It’s five minutes worth watching. Interestingly, and great for Florida, DeSantis explained that legally, under maritime law it’s easier to send a boat back where it came from than to have to deal with illegals once they’ve jumped the border and are on U.S. territory. He also announced another surge of national guardsmen and law enforcement to help block the Haitian exodus.

DeSantis also criticized Joe Biden’s fantastic scheme of flying illegals into the U.S. As an example, the Governor mentioned a Haitian that Biden flew to Massachusetts earlier this month, who immediately sexually assaulted a disabled 15-year-old girl.

The whole thing is so insane that it almost seems like the Biden Administration is deliberately creating a problem so that citizens will demand the solution Biden wanted to do in the first place. But what?
