Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state GOP called a special session to consider a bill creating the 'Unauthorized Alien Transport Program' months after the Martha's Vineyard flights.

is expected to use a special session this week to broaden the state’s migrant flight program after transporting some 50, mostly Venezuelan, migrants to Martha’s Vineyard last year, sparking uproar in the wealthy, liberal Massachusetts enclave that touted support for sanctuary policies.

"The Legislature finds that the U.S. Government has failed to secure the nation’s border and has allowed a surge of unauthorized aliens to enter the United States in violation of the law," according to the governor’s budget recommendation."This crisis has brought detrimental effects including crime, drug trafficking and smuggling, diminished economic opportunities and wages for American workers, and burdens on the education and healthcare system.

In separate memos Friday, state House Speaker Paul Renner and state Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, both Republicans, said the program came in response to an"influx of migrants landing in the Florida Keys," Politico reported. In recent weeks, hundreds of migrants mostly from Cuba and Haiti have been arriving in the Florida Keys, prompting DeSantis to mobilize the Florida National Guard.

DeSantis already has received $12 million in his annual budget for the migrant program, drawing dollars from COVID-19 federal relief funds.
