We could certainly have robust debates about whether our catastrophic and incoherent immigration “policy” of the last few decades puts different burdens on different states. But not treating the humans involved as humans strikes me as chillingly sociopathic.

Yep, this is how I feel as well. What DeSantis did to these migrants was repugnant and pathetic. You can "send a message" without treating human beings like vermin or garbage. Immigrants are not trash that you throw on your hated neighbor's lawn. They are people, often running from major problems in their own countries (problems that America has had a fairly large hand in causing over the years). They are looking for help, hospitality and aid and DeSantis spit in their faces.
I don't know what the solution is, but I know that it isn't what these Republicans are doing.
