Sen. Cruz Urges DeSantis to Send Illegal Immigrants to 3 New Democrat-Run Areas
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) urged Republican governors to send illegal immigrants to three other Democrat-run areas after Gov. Ron DeSantis’s well-publicized move to send them to Martha’s Vineyard last week.
On Twitter, the Republican senator urged DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbot to send illegal aliens to Nantucket, Massachusetts; Palo Alto, California; and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Like Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket is often used as a vacation spot for the wealthy and powerful. Meanwhile, Rehoboth Beach is where President Joe Biden has a vacation house, and Palo Alto, a city located in Silicon Valley, is home to several large tech companies.
For months now, Abbott has been sending illegal immigrants from the U.S.-Mexico border to Democrat-run areas including New York City, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.—all “sanctuary” cities. The leaders in those areas have sounded the alarm and said their municipalities cannot handle the influx of illegal immigrants, prompting cries of hypocrisy.
On Sept. 15, Abbott sent several buses filled with illegal migrants to Washington before they were dropped off outside the official residence of Vice President Kamala Harris. Around the same time, DeSantis sent 50 illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, where former President Barack Obama has a sprawling estate. Within a day, the governor of Massachusetts activated the National Guard and transported the people to a military base on Cape Cod.
Top Democrats, including officials in the White House, have condemned the move, alleging DeSantis and Abbott are engaging in human trafficking. But the two governors argue that their states cannot handle the massive surge in illegal immigration, have said the federal government has the sole authority to carry out deporations, and that the Biden administration’s lax immigration rules are what caused the influx.
