EXCERPTS: The majority of Americans believe illegal immigrants should be sent to sanctuary cities, a new poll from Scott Rasmussen and RMG Research Inc found.

The tweet included a quote from a refugee foundation leader which compared the relocation of immigrants to throwing one’s own trash in different areas.
“Florida Gov. DeSantis sending asylum-seekers to Martha’s Vineyard is like ‘me taking my trash out and just driving to different areas where I live and just throwing my trash there,’ a founding member of a foundation that helps refugees says,” the tweet read.
NBC’s article attributed the quote to Max Lefeld, a founding member of the Casa Venezuela Dallas foundation who, like most of the migrants sent to Martha’s Vineyard, is Venezuelan-American... (MORE - details)
