Migrants are reportedly being transported from New York City to Florida
for work supporting cleanup efforts in the wake of Hurricane Ian—weeks
after the governor put migrants on a flight to Martha’s Vineyard. Over
the weekend, scores of Venezuelan migrants were boarding vans heading to
the Sunshine State from a pickup point in Queens, despite having little information about who they would be working for, the New York Post says. “They want us for hurricane cleanup, we’d get paid $15 an hour, overtime and $15 for food daily, I think,” Javier Moreno, 37, told the paper,
adding that a woman named Camila “from an organization” approached him
with a flier about the work. “I'm going for the work,” Moreno added.
News of their journey south comes after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis controversially flew migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard to protest
the “hypocrisy” of the Biden administration’s border policies."

"Scores of Venezuelan migrants in New York City are hopping on vans to
head down to Florida for Hurricane Ian clean-up, they told The Post.
The migrants had scant information about whom they would be working for,
but they still piled into vans in Queens that they said were headed to
the Sunshine State over the weekend.
“They want us for hurricane cleanup, we’d get paid $15 an hour, overtime and $15 for food daily, I think,” said Javier Moreno, 37, noting that a
woman named Camila “from an organization” approached him with a flier.
“I’m going for the work. It’s been hard for us migrants to find work
here in New York, that’s why a lot of us are going. How’s the work in Florida?”
A driver of one of the vans at the designated pick-up site, a corner in
Corona, told The Post on Saturday that he was headed to Florida.
He said he was under contract with a water and debris company. The firm
did not answer its phone despite repeated attempts to call by The Post.
“I’m taking these people in the van straight to Florida tonight,” the
van driver said. “I don’t know how many people have left or how many
more vans are coming.”"
I expect that they'll be sending buses soon. And golly gee
whiz--what a surprise! No one is blaming DeSaintless for putting
Venezuelans to work cleaning up the mess. He'll probably be claiming
credit for it soon enough. I wonder if he'll send Welcome Wagons? lol
The way things are going I also end up wondering how long it will
be before retrumplicans start bitching because Biden is keeping out too
many workers. Fakes News is still pounding the "border crisis" drum hard
so it will probably take some time before people get tired of the
situation and wise up.
