The Trump administration is preparing to move migrants from overcrowded camps along the U.S. border to Broward and Palm Beach counties, local officials said Thursday.

Broward Mayor Mark Bogen said law enforcement was told to expect two planeloads of 135 migrants each week, starting in about two weeks. Half the passengers would go to Palm Beach County and half to Broward.

Bogen called the idea “irresponsible” and said the undocumented immigrants could become homeless in South Florida.

If so, Bogen said, "I would suggest that we bring them to the Trump hotels and ask the president to open his heart and home as well.”

2. Here's an idea. Unionize them and for those who want to work in agriculture,

get them jobs.

I'm sure the farmers in the area would love the idea.

5. They are welcome in Broward.

Just keep trump out of here

6. The County Mayor is opposed to it

[MaryMagdaline]

9. Yes, I meant they are welcome by me. This county is

70 per cent Democratic. We are being punished. However we are likely to treat the immigrants better while they stay here.

7. ".... ask the president to open his heart and home as well."
