... The top destinations for migrants asking to leave the Big Apple also include Illinois, Florida and Colorado, as well as other parts of New York. Most travel on planes.

Apparently, unlike what Gov Abbott and Gov DeSantis did to these people (herding them into chartered buses after lying to them about what was happening), NYC is asking them where they want to go and put them on public transportation (planes!) to that place.
So, now Floridians can boast about more people wanted to move to their state
:)

Daddysfist is correct. The orange pedo loved Lolita Express.

Texas and Florida did not coordinate or make arrangements for them to be received and cared for in New York (or elsewhere) so I don't know why they didn't just send them back to Texas or Florida the day they arrived.
They should never have allowed Texas or Florida to play that game.

So ...
Why did the Governors of Florida and Texas apparently mislead the immigrants of what was happening to them?
Or were those Governors kidnapping those people and shipping them elsewhere for political purposes?
The Story Behind DeSantis's Migrant Flights to Martha's Vineyard (2022) www.nytimes.com
... "We were tricked," one migrant said. ... In June, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a budget that set aside $12 million to create a program for transporting unauthorized migrants out of Florida. He touted it as the highlight of the state's new spending when it came to immigration. But just three months later, the money was being used in a place far from Florida, in a very different way: rounding up Venezuelan asylum seekers on the streets of San Antonio and shipping them on private planes to Massachusetts. The flights last month, carrying 48 migrants, attracted international attention and drew condemnation from Democrats as well as several legal challenges. Mr. DeSantis immediately claimed credit for what appeared to be a political maneuver " dumping dozens of asylum seekers on the doorstep of Northeastern Democrats who have resisted calls to clamp down on immigration. Florida officials have provided little information about the program or how it was engineered. But details have begun to emerge ...

Yeah, that seems to be a speciality of Florida's government.

@#9 ... This is funny. ...
I don't see the humor in it.
Can you explain what is funny about people being lied to and shipped to places they do not want to be? And now those initial destinations are helping those people go where they want to go?

Back to the state that deported them to blue states to begin with, with zealous immigration enforcement.
Super compassionate move. No way it goes wrong.

If Kamala is elected be assured that Americans will rue the day. The crime crazed, sex trafficking illegals all need sent to Obama, Joe Biden and Kamala communities and every sanctuary city. In controlled unassimilable numbers many may be OK but we can't know except that Kamala and Biden brought them in by millions when they do not belong here. The Democrats as always have a priority to make their crony NGOs and hotel owners very rich on your dime.
Simply let those responsible for this coming abundant crime and destruction wave of our civilization live in the crime filled 3rd world hell hole like they are creating for all the USA. Those who vote for Kamala only prove their politics are incapable of helping their own civilization. We need those politicians and voters responsible for this invasion to be paying for and living in their communities and schools. The next major step for USA citizens in the USA if crime goes rampant will be self preservation with any means necessary and that is when the Dems and leftists will rue the day. When citizens wake up they will want to know who voted for this. Perhaps every house with a Kamala sign needs identified as a political collaborator that killed destroyed people and country, kind of like the Jewish people used to identify their enemies post Holocaust WW2.
Obviously Kamala the phony, and the country destroying leftists are compassionate but only for invading criminals, sex traffickers, rapists, and drug cartels just like the loser DAs in California and Chicago and NYC. Most Americans (85%) want invaders deported en masse. Non trickle unassimilated immigration from a culturally different third world will likely create worse than a third world, because in large numbers it creates cultural friction. That is why we have border and entry control.

Tell Gracie and Boazo. They keep demanding liberals leave the state that they live in. Like they think they own it or something.

#13 Danni announced she was selling her condo and leaving this GD red state. All I asked, nicely, was she take the others with her. That should make you happy. The joyful left hates conservatives that live in Florida as much as they hope for the assassination of politicians they don't agree with.

"All I asked, nicely.."
That you think you are being "nice" is very telling.
Kinda like taking your unruly dog to gravel pit is being "nice" to the dog.

#14. Gracie... The governor of Florida is a competent doer and supports the Bill of Rights. Unlike the lazy Biden and Harris, he actually thinks, works hard and takes care of his state. No one is less tolerant of opinions of others and more hateful than the left of 2024. Biden cant even talk without his speech quivering in anger. The anarchists have graduated to assassination this year. But with all their hate tread carefully with the left and TDS. It has been that way since Trump challenged the establishment and Hillary and then we saw double standards in everything. Most might want to be careful and wary of the left with multiple left wing signs in their yard. I never thought I would say this in our great civilized nation but be prepared to protect and defend your family and self from invaders, criminals and hateful anarchists like ANTIFA. Until the Democrats brought their intentional national divide we had a great unified nation.
Im in PA and I kinda like our boring mostly mild 4 season weather and love where I've lived many yrs with independent like minded neighbors. Beautiful leaves and trees now. But dont anyone migrate here unless you have a history of civility. But I like FL too. Have friends that love it there. I'd like to see DeSantis in White House at some point. The Dems are disturbing and frustrating just as with your kids or relatives that do stupid stuff. It doesn't scare me that Democrats have grown to be so radical and stupid as sheep followers that simply have zero ability to think independently. Everything they claim or say about others absurdly mostly applies to them. They want us hating each other.
The good thing in America now is that young men are learning to grow up as men and forget everything the leftists have ever tried to use to contaminate their mind. Trump has been effective.

I don't like seeing people unhappy. Danni, Yav, Corky, etc. are some of the most unhappy people on here. Being grateful, thankful and blessed is a healthy, happy life. I want to see some joy in their lives. Maybe even a pretty lawn, in another state, if that will make them happy.

This administration loves undocumented immigrants as they don't have to put up with the crime, the stress on supplies/services and the overwhelming need for shelter.
