Lawmakers in Pennsylvania have a plan to deal with illegal immigrants flown into the state by the Biden administration: relocate them to the president’s home state Delaware.
State Sen. Mario Scavello began drumming up support for a forthcoming bill to answer the “many concerned citizens” who have reached out to his office about the flights.
“The federal government has relocated an unknown number of illegal immigrants to states across the nation, including Pennsylvania, and at the same time they have failed to provide information that ensures the safety of Pennsylvania citizens,” Mr. Scavello, a Republican, wrote in a memo to Senate colleagues earlier this month. “The open-border policy of the president’s administration has created a health crisis as well as a financial crisis, and states across the nation are being forced to pay for the reckless abandonment of the rule of law.”
The bill would send illegal immigrants next door to Delaware, and ban state contracts to companies working with the federal government to transport the illegal immigrants to the Keystone State.
A similar measure was proposed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican. --->READ MORE HEREPennsylvania State GOP proposes bill to divert 'secret' migrant flights to Biden's home state of Delaware:
Pennsylvania's Republican-led state senate has plans to put forth a bill that would divert flights carrying migrants across the U.S. to President Biden's home state of Delaware.
The bill would implement a 'transportation program' to address the 'unauthorized relocation' of undocumented migrants to Pennsylvania.
'If the federal government is not willing to provide extra dollars to communities that have experienced increased strain on their healthcare systems, increased number of students in school districts and education costs and other services within our communities, then they shouldn't be forced to take on more illegal immigrants and the additional financial responsibility,' state Sen. Mario Scavello of Mount Pocono wrote in a memo announcing the legislation.
'How many illegal immigrants has the President relocated to his own home state of Delaware? If it is good enough for Pennsylvania, then why not redirect the relocation to Delaware.'
Scavello added that the legislation will be modeled after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announcing that he intended to bus unlawful migrants flown into his state to Delaware.
The Republican governor warned in November, 'My view would be, if they're going to come here, you know, we'll provide buses and provide them. I will send them to Delaware.'
Scavello's bill would also prohibit state contracts from being given to any contractors who assist the Biden administration's efforts to relocate migrants to the state. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
