    Gavin Newsom asks DOJ to consider 'kidnapping' charges after GOP governors ship migrants out of state | Fox News

    I'm pretty sure Gavin Newsom was one of the ones previously touting that "diversity is our strength". Doesn't he believe that all immigrants are hard-working and a boon to their communities? Why would he want to stop Governor DeSantis from sending these pillars of the community to his state? He should be welcoming it. He did everything but ask for it.

    The issue is many claim they were lied to. did you even read your own link?


    "Several of the individuals who were transported to Martha’s Vineyard have alleged that a recruiter induced them to accept the offer of travel based on false representations that they would be transported to Boston and would receive expedited access to work authorization," Newsom wrote. "I urge US DOJ to investigate whether the alleged fraudulent inducement would support charges of kidnapping under relevant state laws."

    Gavin thought it was cool that Biden used the dead of night to ship illegals throughout the nation.... I'll see if I can dig up the exact quote supporting it.

    That's line about being tricked is probably in the script they're given by liberals telling the illegals what to say at the border so we'll let them in.

    Anyway, Newsom is an open borders, pro illegal alien idiot who just gave illegals free healthcare. His insane remark about kidnapping reminds me of when Spartacus wanted to make lynching illegal, it gets them in the headlines.

    The next thing we'll be told is the illegals are drinking water out of toilets as AOC tries to get an Academy Award for posing in front of an empty parking lot.

    There is nothing a liberal or an illegal can say that will get me to change my position on them because they can't be believed.

    Yes, I did read it. I'm puzzled how you leapt to the conclusion about "many" based on the article's mention of "several of the individuals". Can you explain that for us? Or do you not understand the difference between "many" and "several"? Here, this may help: https://englishbasics.net/much-vs-many-vs-several-difference/

    Newsom is pond scum. DOJ doesn't listen to pond scum.

    So it’s ok to kidnap several as long as it’s not many? Lol

    It's not OK to "kidnap" anyone. Nobody in this story kidnapped anyone though, so it's not a concern. What is a concern is your consistent posting of disinformation, like transforming "several" into "many".

    Dishonest was leaving out the entire basis for Newsoms issue with what they are doing.

    Leftist are grasping at straws to try to stop illegals from coming to their area. Illegals for thee but not for me.

    The very first thing posted in the OP is a link to the article, where one can read all about it. Here's what the PF guidance says on thread creation:

    To adhere to this guidance, I typically quote the first couple of paragraphs of an article, as I did in this case. If you're going to get bent out of shape about that, feel free direct your ire at the mods.

    Since he provided the incentives for people to illegally immigrate, how about we charge him with murder for the truckload of dead people!

    Dishonest is saying diversity is our strength and then squealing like a stuck hog when we give you a couple dozen diverse individuals. I say fly hundreds of thousands to Martha's Vineyard. Empty the red states of the illegals and give them all to the progressives communities and sanctuary cities crying for more diversity. SUBVERT THEM. PUNISH THEM. GIVE THEM WHAT THEY SAY THEY WANT.

    Are the illegals Biden is sending all across the country given a choice if they want to go there or not?

    What do you think Newsom would say if all the illegals were shipped to his town because that's where they wanted to go?

    Send them all to blue states, I’m all for it. The issue is lying to them.

    I don’t know how they decide who to send where or much else about it. And neither do you because none of these reporters feel the need to do any homework.

    I can't imagine a bunch of illegals all wanting to be sent to Tennessee which is Trump country. Plus they'll hate the music there.

    Sadly for you and the rest of the Trump crowd, the Federal government is authorized to handle immigration matters. State governments have no authority over federal issues.

    I think its an AWESOME idea !
    I'd love to see those sludges DeSantis and Abbott arrested a frog walked into federal court on kidnapping charges.
    If those two want to play games, I say up the ante.

    It (like most of Newsom's ideas) is a stupid one, mostly because it nowhere even remotely approaches within 1,000 yards of meeting the federal definition of "kidnapping". Aside from that, I'm pretty certain all these illegals that are taking bus / plane rides sign a waiver before doing so, which I'm confident in its fine print says something along the lines of "I voluntarily consent to travel to the location they're sending me". Just because a couple of illiterate third-worlders got mixed up about the destination of their all-expenses-paid trip does not make a federal kidnapping case.
