    My family has been in Florida far longer than DeRacist's has. Him and the stupid yankee boomers can leave.

    Is there a reason that the recent surge of Cuban migrants into Key West haven't been flown out of the state?

    Because Cubans tend to vote Republican.

    Fla. surgeon general used ‘flawed’ vaccine science, faculty peers say
    Joseph A. Ladapo, a professor of medicine at the University of Florida and the state’s surgeon general, relied upon a flawed analysis and may have violated university research integrity rules when he issued guidance last fall discouraging young men from receiving common coronavirus vaccines, according to a report from a medical school faculty task force. But the university says it has no plans to investigate the matter.

    Ladapo recommended in October that men younger than 40 not take mRNA vaccinations for covid, pointing to an “abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death.” Doctors and public health officials swiftly pounced, dismissing the underlying research for its small sample size, lack of detail and shaky methodology.

    In its new report, a task force of the University of Florida College of Medicine’s Faculty Council cites numerous deficiencies in the analysis Ladapo used to justify his vaccine recommendation. A summary said the work was “seriously flawed.” The report’s authors say Ladapo engaged in “careless, irregular, or contentious research practices.”

    Yeah just a quick look on the committee chairman Michael Haller's twitter shows his bias. He called Fauci a national treasure, a real American hero. Just a month ago he is shilling for the transition of minors. So basically this quickly strung together liberal committee is most likely just a bunch of typical activists. Not surprising as they are littered throughout college campuses and are only further erode the public trust in both the educational system and medical community. Quack quack indeed.

    I wanted to know the same thing. Haitians have shown up as well. Would be curious if they get one way tickets, but the Cubans do not.

    I haven't lived in Florida for over 20 years, but the "wet foot, dry foot" policy used to only be extended to Cubans, if I recall correctly. Normally I would say that is unfair, but considering what will probably happen to them if sent back to Cuba, I can kind of understand. Also I don't know what the difference really is if you catch the guy in 2 feet of water or on the beach.

    What do you think happened to the Haitians that were/are sent back? The Haitians were fleeing the same things the Cubans were. Difference is they had/have no political power.

    While the Cubans were welcomed with open arms, the Haitians were sent to the Krome detention center in Miami and processed back to Haiti. One of the worst examples of this country's inconsistent immigration policies. Thankfully, Obama finally ended the policy.

    Per usual DeS may be setting the people of Florida up for another legal challenge.
    " Dormant Commerce Clause Whereas preemption arises when federal and state law cannot coexist, the Commerce Clause can limit states’ power even in the absence of a conflict. The Commerce Clause grants Congress the power “[t]o regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes[.]” The Supreme Court has interpreted the Commerce Clause both as a positive grant of power to Congress and as an implied restriction on states’ authority to interfere with interstate and foreign commerce. This inferred, negative limitation is call the “Dormant” Commerce Clause. Under this limitation, states may not discriminate against, or impose excessive burdens on, interstate or foreign commerce unless Congress authorizes them to do so." But really, who cares as long as he doesn't pay for it and his base laps it up?

    And Venezuelans fleeing an oppressive government and terrible economic conditions (same as the Cubans are) are used as political pawns, lied to, and flown to Martha's Vineyard.

    I agree about the policy, but I thought the Haitians were fleeing poverty more than political oppression. Not that there is much difference, if you are poor, you are poor. Really don't know much about Haiti other than it always seems to be rife with corruption from insiders and outsiders.
