Democrat mayors don't want illegal migrants in their towns.

One thing that seems to be missed in the reporting, or at least the memes, is that the glitterati had left by the time he did this. What you had mostly were the year round residents who are far more ‘normal’
Only non-witches get due process.

For those of you who are against what the governors of Texas and Florida did - why are you against it?
My opinion is that the immigration issue is a national issue and not a state issue.

He has a history of investigating activities which might not criminal.

Sounds like a jurisdiction issue. What business does a Texas sheriff have investigating Florida activities?

One could say, "What business does a Florida governor have moving people out of Texas to Massachusetts?"

Well, that brings up a huge point. MV said they didn't have the facilities to house illegals.
Bullshit.
They had hundreds of empty houses.

There's actually a fair amount of poverty on The Cape - if you visit off season, it's quite surprising how poor some of it is, and there are a lot of drug problems. I guess The Vineyard might be a little different - I've never been.

Morality?
https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-moral-case-for-ron-desantis-migrant-transports/
I didn't read the article, but it is not coherent to speak of the immorality of extra-legal maneuvering such as Desantis', without acknowledging that the point of contention is the lack of enforcement of the laws that do exist. If an official in the government cannot trust that the laws as written will be enforced, and if they believe the lack of enforcement of those laws is immoral, then the morality of these extra-legal machinations is clear.
But it would take an open, non-tribal mind to see that.

From the article:
Whether it is socialist Cuba, Soviet Russia, Cambodia, or North Korea, as socialism makes its pitiful and failed peregrinations around the world, few who are its advocates will bend to reality and see it is a doomed and catastrophic system that also too often relies on the criminalization of dissent.
It is obvious that Venezuelan voters chose their fate and destiny when they elected Chavez. They must reap the consequences they have sown.
The United States can no longer remain indefinitely the dumping ground and a stable source of benefaction for every failed socio-economic and political experiment of countries and their citizens that know better. They willingly ignore the historical record of failed socialist states. They refuse to admit that in the end reality is the final arbiter, and that there is an objective reality that is independent of their wishes, pleas, and desires.
DeSantis, whether he knows it or not, is taking a moral step to teach a vital lesson to all left-wing countries and their foolish citizens who are guilty of the worst form of political calumny. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. You cannot vote to nationalize and exorbitantly tax the brains and minds of your best citizens—which is what it means to nationalize any private industry—and then scream and flee in terror when your victims withdraw the products of their brain – their capital – and leave you to squander in your own ineptitude.

...Reality is the final arbiter... (from the article)
Would be a great bumper sticker for here in the magic land of PDX!!
Of course no one would understand that damn German word at the end, seeing as we can only see Russia from our back yards and know words like Dah and Net.
