CNN Correspondent Whines That Illegals Didn’t Pay For Their Own Tickets To Martha’s Vineyard

(She’s just figuring this out?)

CNN correspondent Rosa Flores complained Thursday that taxpayers are being forced to foot the bill for illegal immigrants being sent out of border states.

Flores was reporting live from Texas, where dozens of illegal immigrants were shipped from and sent to Vice President Kamala Harris’ home in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. Flores said many of the illegal immigrants she spoke to are “so excited and elated” because they are being bussed for free.

“These migrants do not have money. A lot of them are here for economic reasons. A lot of them do not have money to get out of the border area and into their destinations to their families across the country what the buses are doing, courtesy of the taxpayer, is getting them closer to that destination,” Flores said.

“You know, Texas, for years, has focused on the enforcement, on the law enforcement on the border,” Flores said, noting Texas officials have focused “on filling in the gaps of security, where border patrol can’t because of surges at different points in time that we all covered. What has changed, and this is the interesting and fascinating part of this. What has changed is the cost. Who is paying for this?”

Flores explained migrants used to be taken by border patrol to respite centers and from there would disperse throughout the country, but on their own dime.

“The migrants would pay for the bus tickets themselves. Their family members across the country would send them money to the border and pay for these bus tickets or plane tickets so It was coming from the pockets of the migrants or family members. What is different now is that the taxpayer is now paying for it. It’s being politicized. That’s what is different. That’s what we’re seeing across the border.”

Two buses of illegal migrants were sent to Harris’ front door steps by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The buses came from Eagle Pass, Texas, and transported 75 to 100 illegal migrants from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia, and Mexico. Harris had been tasked by the administration to address the “root causes of migration” as migrant encounters at the southern border are expected to exceed two million in fiscal year 2022.

Mail Voting Law Is Illegal Under Delaware Constitution, Court Rules

A vote-by-mail law approved in July does not bode with Delaware law and the process cannot be used in the upcoming November elections, a state judge ruled Wednesday.

Democratic Delaware Gov. John Carney signed a bill July 22 that allows any voter to ask for a mail-in ballot with no excuse. But Vice Chancellor Nathan Cook of the Delaware Chancery Court determined the law violated a provision of the state’s constitution that lays out situations when a voter can vote by absentee ballot.

The constitutional provision dictates that absentee voting is permitted in certain situations, like when a voter is “unable to appear to cast his or her ballot at any general election” or is “in the public service.”

“Our Supreme Court and this court have consistently stated that those circumstances are exhaustive,” Cook wrote in his ruling. “Therefore, as a trial judge, I am compelled by precedent to conclude that the vote-by-mail statute’s attempt to expand absentee voting to Delawareans who do not align with any of Section 4A’s categories must be rejected.”

The ruling came after a lawsuit was filed in February against the Delaware Department of Elections alleging that both permanent absentee voting and early voting “conflict” with the Delaware constitution. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Michael Mennella, an inspector of elections in the state, by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a conservative nonprofit.

“This ruling upheld the rule of law in Delaware when not long-ago election officials across the country were ignoring the law,” said PILF President J. Christian Adams. “This law violated the election protections in Delaware’s Constitution. Election officials must follow the law. When laws are followed, even losers of elections can agree with the outcomes. Consent of the governed increases when the election rules are followed.”

Democrats in Delaware put forth the mail voting bill in June on the heels of Republicans disapproving the idea of amending the constitution, Delaware Call reported. Constitutional amendments must be passed with a two-third majority vote in both chambers, the outlet reported.

There was a mail voting law passed in 2020 in Delaware due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Associated Press. It expired on Jan. 12, 2021.

Delaware’s Chancery Court declined the DCNF’s request for comment and the governor’s office did not respond.
