Ron DeSantis Requests MILLIONS To Transport Migrants From ANY POINT In The US

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has put out his proposed budget for the year, and it includes a request for $12 million to continue his migrant flight stunts. But this time he doesn't just want to ship people out of Florida - he wants to be able to use the money to ship migrants FROM any state TO any state. So he wants to take our money from Florida and spend it on political stunts in other states - clearly a move that proves he wants to run for President and needs to up his appeal in other Red States. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has released his proposed 20, uh, 2023 budget for this year going into, of course, the beginning of next year and the budget, he's asking for an additional 12 million so that he can keep doing his little migrant flight stunts. We wanna be able to gather up all these migrants and ship 'em to these blue cities across the country, cuz ha ha, we love using people as political props down here in Florida. Now, last year's budget, he actually had asked for the same exact thing and he got it, but this year's budget, there is a slight difference. See, last year's budget, he asked for the money just to ship people outta the state of Florida to blue cities. In this year's budget, he's asking for the authority to transport migrants from any point of origin in the US to any jurisdiction. So Rick Scott wants to take our tax dollars from those of us down here in Florida and use it to fly, I don't know, maybe to Arizona and maybe he'll r uh, round up some immigrants from Arizona and ship them Hmm, to Wisconsin.

Has nothing to do with the state of Florida, but he's using our money. He's using my money to round these people up to use them as political props. We don't benefit from any of that down here in the state of Florida at all. We didn't even benefit when he was shipping 'em out of Florida to other states either. But he's using our money. He wants our money so that he can fly migrants out of other states. Why or why would he want to do that? The answer is actually very simple and obvious. He's running for president. He knows he plays well here in the state of Florida because again, as I've said, we're a state of idiots. Like, let us go write us off. We suck. Please abandon us Democrats. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. So he'll win Florida. But how does he play out in the rest of the country, right?

How, how does he make a name for himself other than the culture wars down here while letting our economy go to hell? This is the answer. He flies into your little red state rounds, up your migrants and ships them off to a blue state, and then he leaves the hero. This is a presidential campaign. This is political pandering at its worst, using these migrants as political props. That is what he's doing. It's not because he cares about those red states. It's not because he wants to stick it to the blue states. Although that is a little bit of a factor, it's because he wants to go there and show them that by God you had to have a different person come in because your governor couldn't do it. But I, Ron DeSantis was able to get it done for you. He is running for president and he's using Florida taxpayer dollars to do it.
