In reply to the discussion: An Enraged White House Basically Accuses Ron DeSantis And Greg Abbott Of Human Smuggling [View all]TigressDem
(5,126 posts)An article in the Federalist mentions that it isn't any different than Biden moving immigrants in the middle of the night from border states to other states...
EXCEPT that Biden made the full arrangements in advance as part of getting children out of the border crises and into sponsored situations or social services in the target states with the proper communication to those states in advance.

The Biden administration has been quietly flying underage illegal immigrants from Texas to New York late at night for more than two months in an effort to resettle the tens of thousands of migrants taken into custody at the border in recent weeks, according to a new report.
A New York Post analysis of online flight-tracking data suggests that some 2,000 migrants have arrived at the Westchester County Airport in suburban New York on 21 flights since August 8. Many of the planes landed between midnight and 6:30 a.m., when a voluntary curfew is in effect.
The report describes late-night flights arriving under the cover of dark, filled with children and teens. New York Post reporters watched two planes land at the airport, where most of the passengers who deplaned seemed to be children and teens, with a small number appearing to be men in their 20s.
Many of the migrants were then seen meeting with relatives or sponsors in New Jersey or being dropped off at the Syosset, Long Island campus of MercyFirst, a nonprofit sponsored by the Catholic Sisters of Mercy. MercyFirst provides housing and services for children and adolescents who are the victims of societal problems, according to its website, which adds that it has a contract to supply the federal government with residential services for immigrant youth.
Someone familiar with the situation reportedly told the outlet that underage migrants usually arrive carrying backpacks and are bused to locations in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, upstate Newburgh, and Bridgeport and Danbury in Connecticut.
The report adds that many of the flights from Texas first touch down in Jacksonville, Fla., before continuing to Westchester.
..... SO THAT IS WHY ABBOTT AND DESATAN decided THEY could do this??? .....
A spokesperson for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis questioned why the Biden administration is resettling the migrants in secrecy if it is so confident that their open border policy is good for our country.
.....
He accused the Biden administration of systematically spreading the southern border crisis to communities all around the country, often shrouded in secrecy and under the cloak of darkness.
The White House said Monday that the flights only carry children and teens.
It is our legal responsibility to safely care for unaccompanied children until they can be swiftly unified with a parent or a vetted sponsor, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said.
Our Office of Refugee Resettlement facilitates travel for the children in its custody to their family or sponsors across the country, HHS spokesman Jorge Silva told the outlet. In recent weeks, unaccompanied children passed through the Westchester airport en route to their final destination to be unified with their parents or vetted sponsor.
The report comes as Border Patrol agents encountered 37,805 unaccompanied minors at the border in July and August alone.
NOT THE SAME AS DROPPING YOUR PROBLEM ON SOMEONE ELSE'S DOORSTEP and then criticizing them for not having prepared a response in advance to your political stunt.
