A letter from the inspector general of the U.S. Treasury Department has confirmed to Democrats who asked that an investigation is beginning into the flights organized by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that delivered illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard.
The delivery of those few dozen migrants triggered outrage from residents of the pricey and exclusive locale, and horror from Democrat lawmakers who have fallen into alignment with Joe Biden’s open borders programs that have allowed millions of illegals to flood into the U.S. and beleaguer border towns, cities and states.
Fox News said the Democrats had told Treasury they wanted a review of whether Florida improperly used American Rescue Plan funds for the flights.
There also have been busloads of migrants moved from Texas and other border locations to Democrat-run strongholds such as New York and Chicago, where the illegals also have been met with outrage and opposition.
Fox reported, “Florida lawmakers authorized a $12 million migrant program funded with interest earnings from the federal Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund.”
The IG responded to Democrats, “As part of its oversight responsibilities for the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, The Treasury Office of the Inspector General has audit work planned on recipients’ compliance with eligible use guidance. In addition, as part of our oversight work of the Coronavirus Relief Fund established by the CARES Act, we have already sought information from Florida about appropriate use of that fund.”
The letter explained one issue will be the allowable use of funds, and whether “interest earned on … funds was utilized by Florida related to immigration activities, and if so, what conditions and limitations apply to such use.”
Democrats have complained that moving immigrants around the country, specifically Martha’s Vineyard, where Barack Obama has a residence, is a “terrible idea” and a “publicity stunt,” Fox reported.
