Well, folks, it's no secret that this has pretty much been a week filled with irony,
right?
Especially with the revelations that pro-life senate candidate Herschel Walker paid for
an abortion.
But there's even bigger irony happening.
A little south of Georgia in the state of Florida, you know, the state where our governor
recently shipped a bunch of Venezuelan migrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard.
Well, it turns out that now we need those people back because what's happening is that
up north in New York specifically, they're actually recruiting Venezuelan migrants to
come down here to the state of Florida to help rebuild the state following the devastation
caused by Hurricane Ian.
That is the most delicious political irony I think I've ever heard.
Ron DeSantis used these migrants, these asylum seekers as political props.
He used them as the bad guy, right?
Haha, look what I did.
I shipped them up here, and now they're stuck with these horrible, gross people.
Let's see how these blue states like it, even though it's a state run by a Republican.
And then as soon as Florida needs a little bit of help, as soon as things go sideways,
they're like, Oh my God, come save us migrants.
We can't do this without you.
So they're promising 'em $15 an hour.
They're promising 'em overtime pay.
They're promising 'em food.
They're promising a place to stay.
We'll give you whatever you need.
Just please, for the love of God, get back down here to Florida and help us rebuild.
Now, as I've said before, I, I am in Florida.
I've been through about, I think 10 hurricanes, uh, during my lifetime.
And this is actually very common.
You see this happen pretty much after any storm that causes any kind of actual devastation
or damage.
You do see the migrant workers come in and those people work their asses off, and they're
working right alongside other volunteers.
They're working alongside extra construction crews from other, uh, states.
Everybody kind of bands together, and we depend on those people to help put our lives back
together as quickly as possible.
There was a time, um, actually after Hurricane Ivan, you know, I would be driving to work
and I would be passing these busloads of migrant workers being sent out to repair people's
roofs, being sent out to help with, uh, you know, power companies to get electricity running
again.
We need these people.
And Ron DeSantis also seems to forget that outside of the devastation of a hurricane,
we need migrants in the state of Florida anyway, because most of our industries, our biggest
industries in the state, are completely reliant upon migrant workers and immigrants and asylum
seekers, tourism, fishing,
Construction, agriculture, biggest industries here at the state of Florida, and huge percentages
of those working populations are non-native people.
They're people who immigrated here from other countries.
Without those people, those workforces would not have enough people to actually do their
jobs.
We need those migrants.
DeSantis wanted to use them as political props, and now the state of Florida has to beg them
to come back.
This should be bigger news.
The hypocrisy should be bigger news.
I don't know why it's not, other than the fact that the media has the attention span
of a nat and they've already moved on to other shiny objects.
