Southern governors sending migrants north face a crisis of faith

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent two planeloads of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, on Wednesday (Sept. 14) to protest a rise in illegal immigration under President Joe Biden. Each plane carried about 50 immigrants, including children who appear to have mostly come from Venezuela and Colombia, two South American countries experiencing severe economic and political turmoil.

After the planes unexpectedly landed on the island, many of the passengers said they had been misled, claiming they thought they were being sent to Boston, where they would be provided with help attaining work permits and English language lessons. DeSantis seems to think Martha’s Vineyard would be a better place to own the libs.

DeSantis likes to play the part of a proud Christian on the campaign trail, even commandeering Bible verses in stump speeches. But apparently, when it comes to the Bible’s repeated commands along the lines of “do not mistreat or oppress an immigrant,” he’s willing to make some compromises.
