Instead of admitting to the huge illegal immigration issue, instead of admitting that the 50 illegals sent to Martha’s Vineyard by Florida’s Ron DeSantis were less than 1% of the total that have crossed into the US, Politifact decided to become the language police and rate this statement false citing a handpicked definition of “deportation”: “Deportations occur when people are removed from the United States and sent back to their country of origin” the mockingbird fact checker dutifully wrote. However, another definition of “deport” is: To transport; to carry away; to exile; to send into banishment; to expel. Either way, 50 illegals were sent to an area with one of the highest concentrations of wealth this country has to offer, and they were “removed” just after 2 days.
