Judging by the intensity of the Left’s indignation over Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s decision to fly four dozen immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, last week, it’s safe to say he struck a nerve.

DeSantis’s move, which was part of a larger effort by Republican leaders to share border towns’ burden with liberal parts of the country, was a masterstroke. Unless you live in one of the Texas and Arizona towns that accommodate hundreds of new immigrants every day, it’s relatively easy to forget how dire the crisis has become.
