DeSantis: I've Got a Feveh and the Only Cure Is More Planeloads of Illegal Aliens to Blue States

He wants to restart the Florida Welcomes You to Delaware program.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to resume sending migrants to Democratic strongholds once the Sunshine State finishes dealing with the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian, his spokeswoman said.

Two charter flights -- to Delaware and Illinois -- were scheduled to take place before Oct. 3, according to documents made public on Friday.

But they were postponed after Ian struck late last month, DeSantis communications director Taryn Fenske told The Associated Press.

On October 6, Eric Adams declared an "emergency," and claimed that New York City had all the illegal aliens it could bear.

Mayor Eric Adams has declared a state of emergency in New York City over the "humanitarian crisis" caused by an influx of asylum seekers from Texas. "This is a humanitarian crisis that started with violence and instability in South America and it is being accelerated by American political dynamics," he said. He continued, "Thousands of asylum seekers are have been bused into New York City and simply dropped off without notice, coordination or care. And more are arriving every day. This crisis is not of our own making but one that will affect everyone in this city."

The mayor went on to say that since April, about 17,000 asylum seekers have been bused to the city. That has pushed the total number of people in NYC shelters to a new record of 61,000 people. These are people who can't legally work, who have school age children and some of whom need medical care. New York has done what it can to accommodate them all but as the mayor explained, "extending that care has come at a great cost to our city and our people." "It is straining the ability of our city to provide care for New Yorkers in need and is burning through our city's budget," he added.

Adams said the crisis would cost the city a billion dollars by the end of this year. He said New York's "functional and compassionate system" was being "exploited by others for political gain." "We have not asked for this," he said.

After praising the compassionate response of NYC thus far, he got to the point: "This is unsustainable." "We are reaching the outer limit of our ability to help," he said. And that's why he announced this state of emergency.

At this point, you may be thinking to yourself, as I am, how do you think it feels to be in Texas and Arizona for the last two years? Mayor Adams is offering all the compassion and support to these asylum seekers showing up on buses but absolutely none to his fellow Americans in southern states who are dealing with many times the number of migrants he has been dealing with.

Let El Paso and various ranchers along the border handle it while the city that controls tens of trillions of dollars whines that it's too hard to pay for their own policies.
