We welcomed the news of Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar’s announcement of recommended felony and misdemeanor charges for Ron DeSantis’ flights from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard.
Asylum seekers are fed on Sept. 14, 2022 at Martha's Vineyard. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew two planes of immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, escalating a tactic by Republican governors to use immigrants for political gain.won’t be pieced together by the stunts and showboats of politicians and the exploitation and dehumanization of immigrants.
The 49 immigrants, a majority of whom were fleeing a dictatorial regime in Venezuela, had done nothing wrong; they hadn’t done, as Salazar thinks DeSantis and crew may have done, anything illegal. They’d legally applied for asylum in the United States. On Christmas Eve, Abbott loaded three buses with migrants and sent them to D.C. Washington, D.C., where residents were experiencing its coldest weather in decades. Without adequate clothing to protect them in freezing weather, the immigrants were left on the street.
While we support the transport of immigrants when done humanely, this goes too far. This isn’t a game show. Migrants aren’t consolation prizes or items behind doors number one, two, or three. These are human beings, children, women, and men doing what the ancestors of Abbott and DeSantis did generations ago: struggle to make it to America, land of more opportunities than the Somewhere Else’s from which they left.
