Here's the type of thing I like to see

https://www.dailybreeze.com/2021/07/13/la-county-to-proceed-with-plan-for-returning-bruces-beach-to-family/

"Los Angeles County is moving forward with a plan to return two parcels of oceanfront land in Manhattan Beach to the family of the original Black owners."

"The land the county is working to return was the site of Bruce’s Beach Lodge, which provided a recreational haven for Black people during the early part of the 20th century, at a time when African Americans lacked access to the coast. But Manhattan Beach then used eminent domain to take over the two parcels owned by Willa and Charles Bruce, as well as other properties. Much of the land the city took over became open green space, eventually renamed Bruce’s Beach Park. The two parcels on which the resort sat are now owned by Los Angeles County and have a lifeguard station on it."

When someone sues, they are usually alleging a harm has been done and money will fix it. That's been a pretty large part of American society for a long time. Further, the actual problem is that lives and property has been taken unfairly for hundreds of years, and this causes people to be a heck of a lot poorer than they should be. So, I think throwing money at the problem is the easiest and really only fix.
I disagree. Sometimes there are things money just can’t fix. In those instances they’re suing for revenge. 

wrongful death comes to mind.

I don't want to go to jail, so I'm posting this here:

"They don't tell us. We try to do investigations. Sometimes we have gotten some documents and put 2 and 2 together. They do fly in… unaccompanied minors and a lot of military age males coming through the border," he said. "We have law enforcement there helping Governor Abbott. They said of the illegal border crossers they come in contact with, a majority of them want to end up in Florida. We are working on strategies to be able to deter that."

- Ron DeSantis, 2021-08-05
On the one hand, I don’t particularly believe this, I would like to see some receipts.

On the other, Floridians on this board have been bragging for years about how everyone wants to live there. So I guess that part makes sense.

We're going to find out very soon. Demographics on hospitalizations will tell the story, in a few weeks.

The majority could want to end up in Florida.  Whether they do or not could be a separate issue.

I don't trust DeSantis to put 2 and 2 together.
I can't seem to figure out how many or what percentage "a lot" is.  Maybe he can tell us.

The Governor is a very smart man. 

There is a reason Florida is getting 1200 (legal) people moving here per day, mostly from New York, California and Illinois.

If only 'trust' had anything to do with this.  When did ethics cease to be a thing?

So if you don’t believe him, which I can’t fault you for ( being that I myself rarely believe high level political people) I am curious what you do believe / regarding people crossing the border now.

Not a smart- ass question- quite sincere. 

How many are getting in? How many are getting caught and release for a court date? Of those that get through and stay- where are they going?

Just looking at some of the vaccination rates for developing nations- it is both sad and scary.  

Also- have read of Delta outbreaks at the border - with positive tests being in the 80-90% range.

Could we mandate and give them vaccination, like is being done for international travelers coming in?

Should we?

I don't know.
And neither does anyone else.

You really believe that?  

if that is true- isn’t that a potentially enormous problem for covid containment ( among other things)
