Then I noted that I "assumed" the immigrants were asylum seekers and therefore the governors would NOT be breaking the law by transferring them across state lines. Subsequent interviews with the Massachusetts immigrants revealed they did in fact, have the papers indicating they were seeking asylum.
Of course DeSantis had some of them directed to report to offices all over the country which they couldn't get to...but that's par for the course of someone trying to score political points on the backs of people who have spent months walking to reach our borders. Sort of like your tired, your poor, etc.
Now, how that equates to me "trapping" myself in anyone's mind, I can only wonder.
