Governor Ron DeSantis Bible Study 101: Matthew- "When did we see you a stranger...?"

God views our compassionate treatment of refugees as an indicator of our true Christianity.

Bible Study 101- Matthew: “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (New International Version).
Florida's failed Governor Ron DeSantis' - leads the cruel Martha's Vineyard stunt: Uses innocent migrants as human pawns, helping no one.

It’s possible to believe America’s immigration system is broken while also condemning the behavior of governors shuttling migrants across the country like cattle to score political points.

Brace yourselves for Rex Huppke reports in USA Today:

"I believe that Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision to use Florida taxpayers’ money to fly two planes of Venezuelan migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, dumping them on the island without advance notice, is morally reprehensible and an inhumane political stunt."


Martha’s Vineyard resident quickly stepped up to help the migrants, Governor Charlie Baker may move the migrants to Cape Cod.
Although the refugee/immigrant crises at the U.S. southern border continues to grow, The New York Times editorial reports, "The Trump administration tried a number of methods to discourage people from filing new asylum claims, including forcing some people to remain in Mexico while they applied for asylum in the United States. Nevertheless, asylum claims actually rose steeply under President Donald Trump, partly because of a surge in migration but also as a defense against his stepped-up effort to deport people".
"They feel lied to and they feel betrayed....", migrants sent by DeSantis to Martha's Vineyard.

Migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard given misleading information, lawyers say: Volunteers continue to help the dozens of Venezuelan migrants who were brought to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, immigration attorneys speaking with the men, women and children are getting a better understanding of how they ended up on two chartered planes.

"They were told in Texas that they were coming to a place that had jobs and homes and shelter waiting for them," said Larkin Stallangs, with Maratha's Vineyard Community Services.

Frankly, Republicans are engaging in a humanitarian zero sum game. They will not benefit from their political resettlement stunt. In fact, the GOP cannot fix our nation's broken immigration system. But, nevertheless, they are responding with cruelty directed to innocent migrants, refugees and immigrant asylum seekers, but the GOP has zero plan to improve the situation, while a growing humanitarian ground swell of desperate people are fleeing from Central and South America.
