Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has allocated over $20 million to establish a makeshift basecamp in the Florida Keys in anticipation of a migrant surge that has not occurred. The basecamp was intended to address a declared 'state of emergency over illegal immigration.' However, according to the Coast Guard, the expected surge has not materialized, raising concerns about the expenditure and its impact on taxpayers.
The DeSantis admin has spent over $20 million on a makeshift basecamp meant to address a “state of emergency over illegal immigration” that according to the Coast Guard itself, hasn’t materialized. These hateful political stunts are adding up to be quite a cost for taxpayers. https://t.co/iu2OlzDctm
