Where should they all go? How should they get there? Who should take care of them?<\/p>\n<p>They never say. Instead, people like Catherine Rampell of the Post can only sob about the great abuse endured by migrants bussed by Republican governors to what should be highly accommodating destinations:\u00a0D.C., California, New York, and other \u201cno human being is illegal\u201d corners of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been many putative defenses of this stunt,\u201d wrote Rampell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2022\/09\/19\/immigrants-marthas-vineyard-desantis-performative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on Monday<\/a>, referring to Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flying about 50 illegals into Martha\u2019s Vineyard last week. \u201cBut in the end the only plausible explanation is performative cruelty. Right-wing presidential hopefuls have been trying to build up their national profiles through Trump-style schadenfreude, and eventually pave their own paths to the White House on the backs of vulnerable immigrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another question the Rampells should be made to account for. Wherein lies the \u201ccruelty\u201d of moving migrants from one location \u2014 where they\u2019ve arrived at the border \u2014\u00a0to another? They have to go somewhere. What better place than the cities and states with leaders that have been most vocal about everyone south of the border having a divine right to be here? The benefits in those locations must surely be more generous than what\u2019s offered in Texas, Arizona, and Florida.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, this is something that the federal government does with unaccompanied minors who come across the border <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acf.hhs.gov\/orr\/policy-guidance\/unaccompanied-children-program-policy-guide-section-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all the time<\/a>. They\u2019re sent from one detention center to another, while American tax dollars are spent figuring out what to do with them all.<\/p>\n<p>I guess it\u2019s only \u201ccruelty\u201d when a popular Republican governor who will probably run for president does it.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also the insufferable \u201cthis is human trafficking!\u201d complaint that leftists have yet to explain in any coherent way. There is the most dubious allegation that DeSantis got the hapless migrants on his plane by lying to them about some goodies awaiting them at the final destination \u2014 namely,\u00a0financial assistance and jobs. Except Massachusetts has state programs explicitly promising refugees and migrants <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/20\/sorry-theres-no-smoking-gun-in-marthas-vineyard-just-a-lot-of-left-wing-condescension\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">those very things<\/a>. Did they run out the second that 50 Venezuelans showed up last week?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there\u2019s the whiners of the Ken Burns variety who resent the \u201cpunishment\u201d inflicted by DeSantis. They say the immigrant shuffle was a form of retribution against the governor\u2019s political opponents. Setting aside that it\u2019s the Biden administration, House Democrats, and Democrat state attorneys who are at this very moment <em>legally<\/em> prosecuting their political enemies, Burns and Co. should be forced to articulate the harm they\u2019re enduring by having to care for the people they\u2019ve encouraged to come and invited to stay.<\/p>\n<p>These are questions they can sincerely answer. Every explanation would end up sounding awfully close to \u201cwe don\u2019t want the responsibility of caring for poor brown people.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">\n  Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Liberal-Misery-Hateful-Everything-Everyone\/dp\/1637584350\">Liberal Misery: How the Hateful Left Sucks Joy Out of Everything and Everyone<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since it\u2019s apparently a traumatizing life event to be given a free flight to Martha\u2019s Vineyard \u2014\u00a0you know, the same place where the Obamas are suffering \u2014 every critic in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":493,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1650140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1650140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/493"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1650140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1650140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1650140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1650140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1650140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
