    I’ll grant we had a hella immigration spike on the Southern border, and it goes up year-by-year, but LOL my god, how many fucking Haitians are hitting the Florida coast?!

    “Any blacks come over here trying to escape the gangs, drive 'em into the sea!” Which is literally what we do to Cubans. If they touch American soil, we have to begin asylum processes. DeSantis would rather drown them like kittens.

    And 250 men is, “Look at us addressing the problem!”. Break it down: Not like they’re all working at once and 24/7. I’m certain the governor has seen a map. Just how many miles of coast does he expect <250 men to guard? That would cover a bay up here in NW Florida. Barely.

    Oh, and what about support staff? Always more support behind the scenes than fighters. If he didn’t send additional support, now he’s got both sides pissed off.
