Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to publicly and loudly oppose Presiden Biden’s dangerous border policies, and this week the war was escalated when DeSantis issued a direct threat in response to discovering that multiple planeloads of illegal immigrants are being flown into his state in the dead of night and under the radar.
Over the weekend, the DC Examiner reported comments from DeSantis’ public safety czar Larry Keefe who stated that some 70 flights that contained illegal immigrants have been flown into Jacksonville over a period of several months and that the flights were landing at a time when they thought no one would be paying attention:
“Over 70 air charter flights [on] jetliner airliners coming from the southwest border have landed at Jacksonville International Airport,” said Larry Keefe, DeSantis’s public safety czar. “On average, there’s 36 passengers on each of these flights. And that has been going on over the course of the summer through September.”
[…]
“We’re in a sad situation of trying to run an investigation. This travel is being facilitated by who? Where did they get there? How do they get there? Who are the sponsors?” Keefe asked.
Keefe told the Examiner, as well, that nobody at DHS or the DOJ nor any other federal department related to Florida would provide any details on Florida’s oversight of flights, such as who dictates what.
DeSantis, understandably furious, announced that he was exploring other options and is taking multiple steps in order to stop illegal immigration from flying or redirect them elsewhere. On Monday night, he told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson that some of the options on the table were ending contracts for any private contractor who was allegedly assisting the Biden administration in this effort:
“We’re looking at what we can do. They use private contractors, I believe. So what we’re looking at is how can we fight back against the contractors? It is possible to deny them state contract, and we will. Can we deny them access to Florida’s market generally? Is it possible to tax them Can we do things to provide disincentives so they can’t do it? So we’re going to do whatever we can to do it,’ he added.
And just today, DeSantis said if the state had to, that they’d get some buses together and send the illegal immigrants that were being flown into Florida off to Delaware, which is Joe Biden’s home state.
“My view would be, if they’re going to come here, you know, we’ll provide buses and provide them. I will send them to Delaware and do that,” he stated during a press conference. “If [Joe Biden’s]He is not going to accept the security of the border. Then, he should have all those present. So we will do whatever we can in that regard, and we are absolutely going to do everything we can.”

Of course, the Usual Suspects are accusing DeSantis of “racism” and “xenophobia” over this but the reality is that he’s got a very good reason to feel the way he does about the Biden administration sending over scores of illegal immigrants into his state who likely have not been properly vetted for potential safety and security risks (not to mention COVID risks):
A 24-year-old Honduran immigrant who’s charged with murder in the brutal stabbing death of a Florida man had crossed the US border illegally months earlier while posing as an unaccompanied minor, an investigation by The Post found.
Yery Noel Medina Ulloa was caught Oct. 7, in Jacksonville. He was discovered covered in blood, having allegedly killed Francisco Javier Cuellar. The 46-year-old father of four had adopted the man who said he was 17 years old.
Just awful, and as DeSantis noted, was a completely preventable murder if not for Joe Biden’s reckless open border policies.
Add this one to the “never forget” file, because no one in this country should ever forget when someone dies a death that likely would have never happened had the politicians who are elected to serve the people not promoted dangerous policies that put innocent people like Francisco Javier Cuellar in harm’s way.
