        US Government has stated that "tourists" and others are responsible for the financial hit for their removal.

        As outrageous as this might sound, I get it. They were going to pay for getting home anyway.

        Question is: are they double-paying?

        Also, is the PR hit for this worth the nominally minimal hit to the US budget?

        Friends daughter is in a Jewish sorority at a US college (thought they are not Jewish).

        Anyway, some of the girls have relatives/family/friends in Israel who are leaving. Airlines are providing refunds if they do not return on their original ticket.

          The first 270 Americans stranded in Israel just landed in Tampa Bay thanks to Ron DeSantis.

                Cost of flying migrants to NYC < Cost of keeping them in Florida.

                Fiscal responsibility from Governor DeSantis, FTW!

                    I hardly think illegals are staying in four star hotels.

                      In fact it isn't possible - the minute you put a bunch of asylum seekers in a hotel, it's no longer 4 star.

                              Nearly two dozen Americans fleeing Israel with the help of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration were stranded for days in Cyprus before they finally got to Florida on Wednesday, according to the head of an international rescue organization who blamed contractors that state officials hired to run the operation.

                              Their rush to help DeSantis score political points for his presidential campaign caused the confusion, said Bryan Stern, CEO of Project Dynamo, which partnered with Florida on the missions.
