News about George Wallace

When critics pointed out the hypocrisy in the left condemning Republicans for doing the same thing, El Paso's Democratic mayor said on Sunday that he is only busing migrants to New York City to help them get to their final destination. Migrants aren't going to the United States only to land in his border city, but rather, they're heading to other parts of the country - perhaps where they have relatives or other sponsors, according to Mayor Oscar Leeser. 'The people are not coming to El Paso,' Leeser said. They're headed to America,' says the author.

Rep. Michael Waltz of Florida compared the outrage in Texas and Florida to the Biden administration's relatively muted reaction to 'ghost flights' sent by the Biden administration in the middle of the night. And Texas state Attorney General Ken Paxton defended Governor Abbott's decision to relocate migrants to outside of Vice President Kamala Harris' Washington home, which he lauded as "amazing." Senator Ted Cruz of Texas took direct aim at President Joe Biden on Saturday, branding him "the world's biggest human trafficker." It comes amid allegations that despite White House outrage over sending migrants to sanctuary cities, El Paso's Democrat-led city government has been doing the same for weeks, and has requested that the Biden administration pay for it.

DeSantis (right) imitated his Texas and Arizona colleagues in sending hundreds of migrants to Democrat-led cities up north earlier this week, demonstrating the Biden Administration's border policies. Gavin Newsom (left) and other Democratic politicians have slammed the move as playing with people's lives, with the California governor opposing DeSantis to a discussion ahead of the midterm elections. 'Hey @GovRonDeSantis, clearly you're struggling, distracted, and occupied playing politics with people's lives,' Newsom tweeted on Friday (bottom inset). If you have only one overriding need - attention - let's take this up and discuss,' Newsom said in reaction to Dan Rather's tweet urging CNN to schedule a debate between the two governors. DeSantis continued to defend flying the migrants across Martha's Vineyard, claiming that the state has a $12 million budget to relocate more immigrants.

Five of the Venezuelan migrants moved from Martha's Vineyard to Joint Base Cape Cod today on a shopping trip to a nearby mall, as shown in DailyMail.com photos. On Wednesday, a family of three and two young males, one of the 50 that were first flown to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' exclusive Massachusetts island, strolled around a Target enthusiastically gazing at the products. They were taken to the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis by the same yellow coach who whisked them by ferry from Martha's Vineyard the previous day to the massive military base on the mainland. Jean Carlo, 35, (right), one of the mall's migrants, told DailyMail.com exclusively as he walked through the aisles in Target: 'We are so grateful to be here in the mall and in America.'

Mayor Oscar Leeser (main), a Democrat, has dispatched at least 28 charter buses packed with migrants to New York City since August 23, at a cost of more than $600,000. City officials insist that the buses will be paid for by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as part of a quarterly reimbursement procedure for emergency food and shelter for migrants. The buses, arranged by El Paso, have survived the torrent of skepticism heaped on Republican governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida, who have been accused by the White House of treating migrants as 'chattel' and 'political pawns.'

A charter bus with Texas plates dropped off about 50 people (left), mainly from Venezuela, including multiple children and a one-month-old infant, at the Naval Observatory in Washington on Saturday morning. On Saturday, three more buses arrived at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan (inset), just days after the border crisis drew national attention when a plane carrying migrants arrived on Martha's Vineyard. Texas reported responsibility for two buses carrying migrants to the Naval Observatory, the vice president's residence, on Thursday (right).

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (main) has slammed Republicans who sent groups of migrants to Martha's Vineyard and Washington, D.C. as part of "crimes against humanity." In a series of tweets on Friday, the progressive New York Democrat derided Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott. He didn't mention them explicitly. 'It's appalling that far-right politicians seem to have figured that falling before an election is their regularly scheduled time to commit crimes against humanity on refugees,' she wrote.

Although immigration campaigners believe the migrants have been 'used as pawns' and 'abused' by Ron DeSantis (top right), the Venesuelans were actually eager to be brought up north, according to Telemundo's Cristina Londo (left). After speaking with some of the migrants, Rooney said on Thursday, 'I can tell you, they are not angry at Ron DeSantis.' They are actually thanking him for taking them to Martha's Vineyard,' she says. Some people are being used as political pawns, but she doesn't object right now. 'They know they're the lucky ones.' Despite receiving a cold welcome in Martha's Vineyard, with the city announcing a state of emergency and sending the Nation Guard to move them, the group eventually made their way to the Cape Cod military base, where they received shelter and a warm meal.

On Thursday, a group of migrants arrived at the Cape Cod military base after being taken from Martha's Vineyard, where the wealthy liberal city had declared an emergency over the immigrants.' For the first time in three months, one of the 50 Venezuelans whisked from Martha's Vineyard to Joint Base Cape Cod was captured expressing delight at eating his local cuisine (inset) 'for the first time in three months.' The anonymous young man (left), dressed in a gray top and green jacket, seemed overjoyed just hours after arriving at the main military hospital. He spoke after a local Venezuelan restaurant served traditional Farewell, black beans, rice, and plantain to the refugees. 'We've had three months without Venezuelan food,' he said in a video obtained by DailyMail.com. This is like a blessing. 'Thank you.'

After being maimed for life in the 1963 KKK bombing of a Birmingham church in which her sister and the other girls were killed, Sarah Collins Rudolph, 71, believes Alabama owes her millions. Rudolph lost an eye and now has fragments of glass embedded within her body. In apologizing to Rudolph for her "untold pain and agony," Governor Kay Ivey addressed the issue of financial compensation two years ago, saying that legislative involvement was required.

BRONITSKY: The Commander in Chief is trying to convince America that he did not say what it heard not more than 24-hours after giving the worst, most inflammatory presidential address of the modern era. 'I'mon, guys, I don't think any Trump supporter is a threat to the country,' he told reporters on Friday.' People who voted for Donald Trump - and now support him - were not voting against the Capitol.' They weren't voting for overruling the election. They were going for a 'philosophy' that he had formulated.' Let's break it down. 'Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our country's republic.' 'MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards-backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to condomation, and no right to marry someone you love.' Biden was not discussing a tiny part of the Republican Party at the time. He was notably referring to and slandering a large portion of the country that believes in the sanctity of life and has steadfastly praised the American tradition of excellence. This wasn't a slip of the tongue.

MURDOCK: The Minneapolis Public Schools have adopted old-fashioned, naked bigotry: In the case of layoffs, they would overrule seniority and dismiss white teachers as if they never existed, and George Wallace never died.' One might understand this madness if it were written in bold, bracingly cold English, e.g., 'Fire Whitey first.' Instead, Minneapolis' new deal with the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers swaddles this theory: "If excessing a teacher who is a member of an underrepresented population of licensed teachers in the district is excluded from the district's enrollment, the district will overrule the next best senior teacher, who is not a representative of an underrepresented population."
