Two words: Election Year.

The political numbers that explain the Abbott and DeSantis migrant decisions
Both men, especially DeSantis ahead of a potential 2024 presidential bid, are using one of the most potent issues in Republican circles – immigration – to play to the base of their party in a number of ways.

No matter how you define the wave of migrants that have arrived from Central America, South America and the Caribbean, most Republicans don’t want them here.

DeSantis makes appeal to GOP base with migrant move as he faces reelection and eyes 2024
A CNN/SSRS poll from earlier this year found that 65% of Republicans opposed allowing refugees from Central American countries to seek asylum in the US. This stood in contrast to Americans as a whole, 56% of whom favored allowing them to seek asylum.

Of course, most Republicans would argue that the migrants being sent north don’t meet this definition and instead are in the country illegally. More Republicans (56%) said they were extremely concerned about illegal immigration than any other issue, except for inflation, according to a recent Fox News poll.

(It is important to note that the migrants being sent north are asylum-seekers who have been processed by federal immigration authorities and are awaiting court dates.)

Worries about immigration at large are reaching new heights for Republicans. Gallup polling from earlier this year showed that 87% of Republicans were dissatisfied with the level of immigration into the country. That’s higher than any point this century.

And even when it comes to the broader question of immigration, this concern, like that of illegal immigration, ranks high. Immigration (not just illegal) ranked as the second most urgent concern facing the country for Republicans, per a Quinnipiac University poll from the end of last month. Again, only inflation beat it out.

For Americans overall, immigration ranked fifth in the Quinnipiac poll. This gets at why Abbott’s and DeSantis’ moves haven’t been nearly as positively received in the mainstream media as they have been in conservative spaces.

All these poor migrants, getting fed, clothed and taken care of by the millionaires at Martha's Vineyard. I hope they'll be ok.

So I understand, bussing them from the border to some town in Texas is just fine. Flying them to an island with millionaires who are more than able to take care of them... that's cruel.

The cruelty was in how it was done and how they were treated enroute.

Nothing cruel about air conditioned planes and buses unlike the across the border human smuggling fully endorsed and encouraged by the illegitimate Biden junta.

Whu do you guys hate illegals so much? NIMBY eh? GFYS and your hypocritical virtue signaling.

A week ago, DeSantis promised never to send Venezuelan and Cubans asylum seekers in Florida out-of-state, because that would be "incredibly cruel and inhumane."

And technically he kept his promise. He kidnapped Venezuelan asylum seekers in Texas, and sent them out-of-state, to an island far from any courts for them to apply for asylum.

The man is tricky, and we all know it.

Yeah. Well. When one party thinks it should be in power, regardless of the election result, one side is definitely much less "practical" and more "traitorous and anti American" like today's trump butt-sniffing Republicans.

You're not a Republican are you Dutch? You sure shit on Democrats a lot. Tell the truth, now.

Clearly you haven't seen me pissing off the MAGAts.

To paraphrase Reagan, "I didn't leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left me". It began with Newt and Republicans attacking fellow Republicans as RINOs. For me, it ended when the Republicans blew off the results of their own "Growth & Opportunity Project" results. Trump followed soon after.

I've been voting a straight Libertarian ticket since 2014. 2016 was my first Libertarian Presidential vote. Not that I thought they were better, just that I strongly believe it's a civic duty to vote, but I wasn't going to vote for either a D or an R. Voting the L was my next best option.

You keep insisting "both sides are the same". Whether you hate both parties or not, they're not. One party has totally abdicated their constitutional responsibilities in favor of holding up a criminal moron traitor.

Also, Reagan was a criminal moron as well, who tried to trade arms to hostages and supported the Contras who murdered nuns in our name.

Find some better heroes, my friend.

One party is clearly better. You keep throwing your votes away. I like to effect positive change and whether you want to admit it or not, the Democrats are our best option.

Now you're as big of a liar as DeSantis.

Quote me saying that, and I'll donate $10 to the LGBT in Trump's name or whomever you like. If you can't, then it's solid proof you're a punk liar.

Then you admit the Democrats are our best hope for positive change? Or are you going to keep throwing your vote away?

It's your civic duty to want to improve conditions in your community. I know you're terrified we're coming after your guns. Don't worry, we need to fix the voting situation first and that will take us awhile.

Your guns are going to be fine, Tiger.

DeSantis is a fucking liar. You've been bitching about him this entire thread. I agreed he's fucking liar. Why shouldn't I dislike your lies too?

Why are you a hypocrite, along with being a fucking liar? If you want to dance and giggle by calling it striking "a nerve", that is your right to do so.

I don't recall "bitching about DeSantis this entire thread". I think I posted once that he's grand-standing and playing a culture war at the migrant's and Floridian's expense, but I don't consider that "bitching the entire thread".

But I'm not going to call you a "liar"!
