According to The Boston Globe, officials in Martha’s Vineyard are holding an emergency meeting to deal with the crisis of 43 illegal alien arrivals, including one four-year-old child. The group arrived via a chartered flight dispatched by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
According to state representative Dylan Fernandes, “when you look at the limited housing options on Martha’s Vineyard, as I’m sure many of the folks here are aware, it’s likely we’re going to need an off island location.” As noted by the Globe …”a Zoom meeting has been scheduled for emergency management officials from the island along with people from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency to discuss the next step for the immigrants.”
(Boston Globe) […] Fernandes also strongly condemned DeSantis and Governor Greg Abbott of Texas for sending the migrants to the Vineyard.
“To use women and children as political pawns is cowardice. Governor DeSantis is a coward,” Fernandes said. “Their communication on this, Governor DeSantis’s on this, was to jump on Fox News and beat his chest about how tough he is on immigration. It’s inhumane. It’s depraved.”
DeSantis defended the move in remarks to reporters on Thursday during a briefing at Northwest Florida State College.
“Every community in America should be sharing in the burdens. It shouldn’t all fall on a handful of red states,” he said. Other states “don’t like it as much when you get just a small, small, small amount compared to what these folks have dealt with in Texas and in other states.”
Florida’s message, DeSantis said, is that it’s not “a sanctuary state.”
“Now what would be the best is for Biden to do his damn job and secure the border,” he said.
Susan Church, a prominent immigration lawyer based in Cambridge, said a team of attorneys in Massachusetts is working with advocacy groups including the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Economic Justice to interview the migrants and determine whether they’d be eligible for victims of crimes visas, based on reports they were coaxed into getting on a plane under the pretext that their paperwork would be expedited.
“They were duped in to getting on to the plane,” said Church, former chair of the New England Chapter of American Immigration Lawyers Association. “This is akin to kidnapping.” (read more)
While the apoplexy and pearl-clutching from the condescending and sanctimonious democrats is political fuel for ridicule, at the end of the day these transports of illegal economic migrants, illegal aliens, is not a solution.
Desperate times do call for desperate measures, and we desperately need to see the southern border secured, immediately. If the transports lead to backlash from Democrat officials and politicians, and that hypocrisy leads to facing the reality of the border crisis created by Joe Biden, then perhaps something positive can come from this approach.
I find myself torn between seeing this as a political gimmick yet understanding that some shift in the national narrative is needed. If this approach delivers that shift, if more people wake up to the border crisis, then something positive could be gained. However, at the end of the day these unlawful migrants are people.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis answers questions earlier today:
talk about a false case of moral righteousness….they claim “migrant sanctuary” status for their area and when given the opportunity to display their magnanimity grouse at the idea they might have to put up or shut up
The estates on MV have plenty of room for tents to house the squatters that they virtue signaled for.
Who’s going to be the 1st to ask why they’re not doing it?
I am sure there are 43 available bedrooms on the island…..
and each one can hold dozens of illegals, more if they are stacked.
Of course there are. Those people throw parties all the time where their guests spend the weekend. They have accommodations.
The riff-raff are never allowed inside the castle.
But do they have an outhouse out behind the main house?
I’m sure they have coach houses, guest houses, sheds & garages but no outhouses.
Even they need fertilizer for those lush lawns so they’ll permit the riff raff to use the perimeter of the property…
Their “compassion” is ALWAYS conditional.
And always elsewhere.
their “compassion” is always with the purpose of control in mind…..a Leftist possesses as much empathy as an ant
Their “compassion” is always assigned to others to be carried out.
As usual the key component is OPM…
Millions in CONUS, aok.
Fifty in Maatha’s Vineyard!
// swoons upon the fainting couch//
BOOM!
“However, at the end of the day these unlawful migrants are people.”
Apply Grandmas’ “What if every body did that?”
This is war. The aggressor sets the rules. We are losing. It’s them or us. I vote for us.
I flew into St. Maartin with a one way ticket. I was going to leave on a friends boat.
NO WAY said Immigration. They confiscated my passport
I had to buy a return ticket OR ELSE!
I’m sorry the Satan worshippers are killing out country but thank God someone is fighting back!
Genius move by DeSantis. TX, AZ and everyone else on the border need to send them to all the “sanctuary cities”. EVERY city that said they were a sanctuary. And keep doing it until the border is closed. Then we can start deporting them all back. Fine companies that employ illegals, shut down the flow of money thru western union (et al) to third world countries. I have nothing against immigration-just do it legally.
It’s a stunt to gain popularity. What is accomplishes is a horrifying “chain of custody” issue.
Kari Lake points to the powers of the states under the constitution to protect the borders. THAT is what Texas should be doing.
Are states allowed to protect their own borders against illegals using the National Guard?
If they are, then Ms Lake is right.
Texas started doing that but then they (Texas Guard) left when BP=HTD (border patrol human trafficking division) asked them to leave.
just last week……..locked a crossing gate at Eagle Pass and were guarding it…..CBP came and took control of the area–unlocked gate—immediately HUNDREDS of invaders crossed over for processing
States protecting their interests when the Federales refuse to uphold the law?
I seem to recall SCOTUS shooting down Arizona’s attempt to do just that… A sibling had not long before bought the London Bridge and was living in Lake Havasu at the time, so I was always appraised of all matters in that locale.
Ah yes, here it is Az S.B. 1070. Arizona v United States. SCOTUS ruled States can not preempt Federal Law. Even when the Federales do not enforce said Federal Laws.
When the law is not applied or not applied equally, as the concept of Justice would demand, by TPTB, 3-7-77 is the result.
Fasten your seat-belts folks, we’re in for a bumpy ride.
They are here ILLEGALLY. Chain of custody isn’t our problem. And Texas has been doing what it can under the Constirution…both State and US.
The “stunt” is working.
We get THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS daily, weekly, monthly, yearly with no end in site.
Tens of thousands of Texans have lost their jobs or had to reduce their income because of the influx of cheap labor while at the same time our taxes foot the bills for schooling, healthcare, housing and food subsidies. And DUI’s, rapes, murder, and other crimes are committed in HUGE numbers by these unwelcome and unlawful roaches. Not all of course, but there’s NO WAY it’s worth the sacrifice.
I agree strongly with your second point. However, your first point greatly underestimates the beneficial effects that DeSantis’ and Abbott’s actions will bring, i.e., to get more people involved in the conversation. Importantly,
those most responsible for this entire predicament are the most mum. DeSantis and Abbott aren’t waiting around for that to happen. They are acting productively to push this issue to the fore.
As we approach Nov. 8, it will all fit in nicely with MAGA voter outreach to have the immigration issue very front and very center.
An immigrant camped out on everyone’s lawn might be electorally optimal, if you asked me.
America must find the political will not only to discuss this matter, but rather to actually grab it by the throat so as to solve it! It’s that URGENT!
What I’m trying to say as I classify this as a political stunt is for them not to keep falling in love with DeSantis. He is compromised and will never get my vote. He is NOT MAGA.
I’m with you, Chief. Yes, these are people… people who CHOSE to cross portions of S. America, Central America and Mexico to ILLEGALLY enter our country across a porous border without an invitation. The more of them sent to blue sanctuary cities and states to share the burden and provoke a change, the happier I’ll be.
these unlawful migrants are people.. Yes they are however if you look at the majority of them they haven’t missed a meal and they are here illegally and they know it.
it is very enlightening to watch them get booted out of Obama’s neighborhood.
also their shoes are not worn, and they are wearing decent clothes
Most of them are dressed better than me!!
Given the border images I’ve seen, South Americans may be starving, but it looks like they have plenty of money for Gold’s Gym and tattoo parlors.
“However, at the end of the day these unlawful migrants are people.” Now on someone else’s lawn…
Not migrants… the Left always appropriate the language and adjust as necessary for their purposes.
My British husband and I jumped through ever expensive and time consuming hoop that was placed before us in order to secure his permanent residence here. If he could do it, so can they.
Felons or illegal aliens…take your pick. That is what they are, and that is ground that we should never cede.
Except the “ever expensive” part…but yeah, there is a legal way and an illegal way. Biden prefers the illegal way.
Cole, of course, he does. He is always illegal in all he undertakes.
And for those who are unaware of what was involved in order for him to be granted a green card, here are just a few of the requirements he had to meet…
He had to produce all his documentation, which of course included birth certificate and our marriage license, and a police report from every city, town, or county he ever lived in which attested to his not having a criminal record. Imagine getting in touch with police departments and asking pretty please can you provide an official form for a man who lived in your district when he was a child?
He had to travel from Wales where we lived to London to a specific doctor with his inoculation records and submit to a physical , which included an X-Ray (which when we came to the US had to be hand carried on that international flight with us). And he was jabbed with every vaccine known to man at the time. That was a costly trip, never mind the fees we had to pay before his application would be considered.
We had to produce 5 years of my tax returns to immigration officials in London at the interview, plus 20 years of bank records; and he had to hold up his right hand and swear that he would not claim any benefits from the US government for 5 years. One week after we arrived here, he was gainfully employed; and neither he nor I would have it any other way.
Finally,we had to wait…and wait…for the Embassy to give us an appointment for his interview.
These are just a few of the time consuming and tedious things that were required in order for us to return to the land of my birth…none of which are required of these illegal aliens who have broken the law without repercussions.
From start to finish, he was regarded as a potential terrorist, and we were treated exactly as if we, in fact, were.
Believe me, to see them walk through an open door, a door held open by this lawless government, and then to know everything is provided for them by us as taxpayers the second they brazenly put one foot in this country is simply the coldest face slap one can imagine.
I’ve heard the same story from friends how married a woman from outside the USA.
Mycroft, we put our heads down and took it one step at a time. We never thought it wouldn’t happen. But my goodness….as Mark Steyn says, the process is the punishment. Truth.
Thank you for this post Sundance. These folks are human beings after all only seeking a better way of life. I in now way look down on their plight. The subsequent abuse these people are enduring at the hands of the cartels in Mexico is only made possible by policies Joe Biden implemented. They are the collateral damage as Pelosi so bluntly put it.
They’re eggs to be broken for Empress Piglosi’s communist omelettes.
Yes, they’re people. People who volunteered & paid to come here & steal from my fellow Americans. My sympathy meter is pegged at 0. I make no apologies for that.
I was doing work at a Spartanburg, SC Pilot/Wendy’s truck stop when a bus pulled over with mechanical problems.
Mother with multiple kids, didn’t speak any English started aggressively begging the Wendy’s staff for food.
I heard manager tell them to “give them whatever she wants”. If you enable the action, they’ll NEVER STOP! I resent them knowingly breaking the law and taking advantage. So many pay the $$ and try to assimilate legally, WELCOME! This though, THIS is truly an invasion. It’s us or them. My sympathy meter is pegged at zero as well.
In the last two months, I have been accosted by females with children in supermarket parking lots for money. This is the only time this has happened to me in the 38 years I have lived here. I told them to go home where someone would care for them.
I see them on the medians at stop lights, with their men & their children begging for money all the time now. They have a captive audience there.
I’ve given thought to how to respond should mere words not shoo them off since many appear to be capable of violence.
It’s better to have a plan you don’t need than to need a plan you don’t have. I will defend myself.
There is a huge international organized crime ring that uses beggars and scammers. They are currently operating in western Washington State and many other locations in the USA. We call them “Sofia scammers” after the name most frequently used in the sick child begging scam. They frequently also do fake busking – pretending to play the music blasting from loud speakers. There are the also the fake jewelry and the “need gas money to get home” scams. The money funds lavish lifestyles for the bosses in Romania.
Why am I not surprised by that?
I’d bet the franchise owner wasn’t consulted before the “manager” authorized the give away.
Seems there are a lot people that have no problem giving away other people’s money & opportunity.
My brother-in-law was a person too. But after 15 years of my husband feeling guilt and compassion for him by giving him rent, food and transportation monies, and after the last $1200 check he gave him, I reminded my husband we had 5 children and were both making less than $70,000 a year and we would be broke by the end of the year if he didn’t stop.
We know the illegals are human beings as I knew my BIL was a human being but as Mother Teresa used to tell those who wanted to help her financially, please your families first,take care of your families needs, and then you can give.
Are we taking care of our country first?
We are taking care of our country not at all.
The DoD have told servicemen and women who can barely afford to make ends meet…made worse by the hideous inflation inflicted upon us all by the Fed and the Congress spending first all our tax money and second, money they don’t have (supporting all and sundry in Ukraine through the excuse of a war THIS COUNTRY started)…to consult the government for SNAP benefits.
Priorities, priorities…none of which include taking care of our own.
In the British vernacular spoken by those who don’t give a tinker’s damn about anyone but themselves, sitting in DC, paid for by us and stuffing their pockets with whatever massive amounts of lobbyist money reaches them, shouting at the top of their voices, “I’m all right, Jack!”
And so they are. Every last one of them not fit to shine the combat boots of those who serve.
Those families will not qualify for SNAP. They are “housed” and will exceed the financial threshold.
Someone better tell the DoD then, CR. As the mother of a Navy vet, I can’t tell you how much this angers me.
Thanks Soldiersmom. You beat me to it. No excuses accepted. There are right ways to come here they just choose to do it a different/easier/wrong way. Stealing, lying, cheating is wrong.
There is sympathy and empathy each has its own meaning. I suggest you learn the difference between them.
It was a deliberate choice of words sweetie.
I do not understand or share their feelings that they’re entitled to steal from my fellow Americans.
Don’t patronize me with your sweetie bull. I got your sweetie. Second your fellow Americans have constantly stolen from their country. It matters not if it was politicians because at the end of the day it was politicians you voted into office to begin with. Like Ted Cruz, Mitch, Paul Ryan and the list goes on. I find it disturbing that voters such as yourself refuse to take accountability for your actions over the last 30 plus years.
and even as we speak selfish Americans are now moving to Mexico and driving up the cost of living for folks barely making a few cents an hour. So again I say to you. Empathy and sympathy are two very different things, learn the difference ‘sweetie’ smh
Tissue sweetie?
Get off of here Troll!! Don’t you dare talk out your a$$ about HARD WORKING AMERICANS that have busted their butts to get above water here, serve in the military, take care of their families..and the hell with you computing 30 years..its been LONGER THAN THAT!
you have no more idea what they are seeking than they do.
I know exactly what they are looking for. Don’t assume you know anything about me.
“I know exactly what they are looking for.” Please tell me what they are looking for and how it is you know.
Misery exists all over the world.
True, and the USA cannot support them all!
I didn’t say support them all or even support them did I. My problem is republicans who refused to anything about the border along with Dems now see fit to use those people as political pawns.. and I unlike so many here refuse to become so jaded with Dems I willingly forget those are people.
Um, . . . so, . . . it’s okay to do something you know is wrong, and it’s unfair to have to endure the consequences of that?
So . . . coming into a sovereign country without honoring or going through that country’s requirements to be there, is moral, and ethical, and right, because you want what that country’s people have worked for and built, since many of the people of that country didn’t firmly turn you back, or even shoot you to keep you out when you refused to take the hint?!
Just because border enforcement is lax means you have a right to flaunt that? Just because the “NO!” isn’t at the end of the barrel of a gun, means it’s not really “NO!”?! (And me all this time thinking “no means no”! Silly me!)
You don’t have a responsibility to do the right thing, respect other people and their private property, because some of them aren’t enforcing it? You can just do what you want, commit criminality, no matter whether someone else has or objects?
Do you have locks on your doors and windows? Why?
Do you use them? Why?
Is it okay for anyone to come into your home and take whatever they want, and even worse, regardless of whether you invited them in first or not? Why or why not?
Is it okay for you to go into your neighbor’s home and take whatever you want, just because you want what he/she has, even if she/he didn’t invite you in?
That’s the point of all this. It’s not about who voted for what, and sharing “blame” for a bad and immoral borders policy. It’s about personal responsibility, both from the invaders and from the invaded.
So what the politicians turned out to be bad? So what some people are not exactly good and trustworthy or above criminality themselves.
What matters is who YOU are. Do you respect other people’s rights, life, private property? If so, you DO NOT intrude on them and their property. If not, you are nothing but an evil criminal, no better than those hypocritical politicians who say one thing and do another when trusting people vote them in to live up to their promises.
It comes down to personal character, knowledge of right and wrong, moral and immoral, good and evil, and choosing the right.
No one who chooses to violate a border is in the right.
“Only seeking a better way of life”
I call BS on that statement for 99% of the invaders out there.
Maybe edit to say “Only seeking a better way to game the system and take advantage of all the American middle class hard work that created a non-sh!thole country.”
What is happening here is not different than what happens in the EU.
Entitled illegal alien squatters shop for the country that will give them the most for free & then they’ll go & collect it. For life.
Wrong. I love how you refuse to accept that us policy has created the mass migration we see today. A mass migration created by politicians you supported in the past. You don’t get to walk away from that.
Another tissue sweetie?
So . . . what’s YOUR responsibility in all this?
Who have you voted for, and what’s been the result?
Since you do not know most, if not all, the people here, or even across the street, you cannot know, and therefore cannot blame, anyone else for what you think is the problem.
You don’t get to walk away from that, either.
The problem is correcting the mistakes made. The solution isn’t justifying violators of any country’s borders, but cutting them off and deporting them, post haste. No one is entitled to demand anyone else “make a home” for them and support them and excuse their criminality. No one owes anyone else anything, except not to deliberately physically harm them.
All criminality is owed curtailment, prosecution, and punishment.
Hi Sweetie, Law abiding Americans are People too. 81 Million people elected the meat puppet, so 81 Million can surely be happy that their Policies are bringing Diversity right up close to their neighbourhood and schools, so they can enjoy the criminal invasion like the rest of the USA. Ship them all away to sanctuary cities.
Ok go live in Mexico, but you won’t cause you know for a fact us policy has turned that country into a shithole by politicians you undoubtedly supported in the past.
Mexico’s own politicians created Mexico’s problems from its beginnings, and have kept it that way. Mexico’s politicians never needed the U.S. and its policies.
You know what the real problem is? The U.S. politicians are no better than any other country’s. They’re ALL liars and grifters and leeches and cheats and bullies, and they’re ALL in on all the evil everywhere together, no matter how anyone has ever “voted.” Including YOU. So what are YOU going to do about that?
It doesn’t matter why they came here illegally.
WE CANNOT TAKE CARE OF THE WHOLE WORLD! WHEN DOES IT STOP?
Only seeking more and wealthier customers for their Chinese fentanyl and other drugs.
human beings after all only seeking a better way of life
so are all the “houseless” people in Portland, OR who are living in tents, squatting on private property, destroying property values, destroying businesses (literally putting them out of business), stealing from every store that has unlocked doors (in order to let their actual customers in)
Hunter Biden was just seeking a better way of life (per his definition) when he did the things he did.
The BLM leaders who stole millions of dollars to buy houses were just seeking a better way of life.
Maybe I need to get to seeking a better way of life, instead of doing the tight budgeting I do, and doing my own yard work instead of hiring it done (today it’s those blackberry vines………….)….
If you can drop your address here, Jeanette, perhaps there are many on this board who could better their life by coming to your house. Just a thought.
Really gotta be careful with the equivalencies that are accepted. Sometimes there are consequences that tag along with them………………….
Continuous flow out of other countries does not improve lives of those left behind in those countries. The only way change for the better will come is when people see respect for and adherence to rules in play on the books. The only ones benefitting from this chaos are criminals (of all shapes and sizes, colors and stripes)
Sending the illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard is much more compassionate than enticing them across the border.
Don’t look away from Lara Logan’s reporting on what happens on the journey. Children are siphoned off for sex trafficking, others are siphoned off for organ harvesting. The vast majority of women and girls are raped.
The cartels worship demons. Literally. They embrace Santa Muerta. Quetzcoatl (feathered serpent demon) is making a comeback. Just like in Ukraine, Satanic altars are cropping up.
This is a spiritual war. Princes and principalities.
Send another 2,000 tomorrow, if it will speed the end of Aztec level cruelties.
They should stay and fight to save their own countries.
OR… enter LEGALLY and seek asylum if they are truly fleeing for their lives. A tiny, tiny percentage MIGHT be.
By continuing to allow this illegal practice, we are only contributing to the pockets of the Mexican cartels to make them even stronger , more abusive & more prominent. A perpetuating cycle that only gets worse & more dangerous! We should also go after the so-called charitable organizations such as Catholic Charities that feed, cloth & house these aliens. Our contributions to their coffers only promotes our own destruction!
My cousins husband spent ten years on the other side waiting to get in. Spare me. The folks you voted into office repeatedly made it so. Take accountability.
So . . . who OWED your cousin’s husband a place here, regardless of the wait?!
NONE should be here, unless PERSONALLY invited AND COMPLETELY SUPPORTED by an individual.
No one OWES anyone a living, much less moving to another country, no matter what relatives may or may not be involved.
So, tell us, who have you voted into office repeatedly, who have not made this situation so?
Exactly what is YOUR accountability?
They aren’t going to take the welcomed guests into everyone’s homes and spread the joy and happiness of this windfall of diversity?
Hypocrites!!
Luv my Gov!!!
Was reading that “Back of the Impala Kamala” had some dropped off at her secure border gate.
LOL
I, too, am thrilled with DeSantis! BUT He will be raked across the coals by the “pearl clutchers”… maybe even raided by the moral bastion FBI… yes, they are ‘people’ BUT they are ILLEGALS and need to be treated as such! The sanctuary cities say they want them and Ta Da DaSantis delivered!
This is all just another example of the laws not being enforced and the lawbreakers not being punished under the law.
Funny how that always backfires on the regular people who think behaving lawfully matters.
We watched that crazy Larry David movie where he plays a tech executive who capsizes his own career – at some point he is living on Martha’s Vineyard and from what we saw, surely there must be room for 43 people there.
Now if Greg Abbott over in Texas would send a few busloads over to Prairie Chapel!
Larry David used to be funny.
The bottom line is NOBODY knows who or what these people are. Are they children escorted by gang members or perhaps released prisoners’ from some South American prison? Not everyone is somebody just looking for a better life and willing to work and learn the language like my grandparents. I still have the history books they had to study and and vaccine cards they had to carry. But they did it legally.
I had a conversation with a TX border rancher a few years ago. I thought well, they’re children. He stated in clear terms that these are not children in any sense of the word except chronological.
They’re hardened, single digit criminals as evidenced by their actions.
It *is* a gimmick. Gimmicks can be very effective at getting media attention, and for that reason I’m for it.
I don’t really care whether anyone wanted to go to Martha’s Vineyard, Washington DC or what. They entered my country illegally. If we enforced our laws we’d make them go unwillingly back to the 3rd world country they left.
No one is hurting them, they are being fed, clothed, given medical treatment, and transported on my dime. Left in this country they will work without paying taxes, go to emergency rooms for medical treatment without paying, and in general enjoy our benefits without paying a dime.
I grew up on the border and still live in Texas. I see illegals driving brand new pickups I can’t afford. Why? Because they don’t pay taxes or medical bills. Most work their butts off and earn their money, but don’t pay into the system.
Taking a hard turn here, this is why I support replacing the income tax with a sales tax. Every person that is currently not paying into the system will do so in the future if they want to buy anything at a mainstream store. Drug dealers, prostitutes, illegals, you name it, they will pay taxes. Food and articles of clothing valued at less than $50 exempted
Did you also know that migrants’ pet dogs are also being brought in, taken to vets and treated for diseases etc on your dime? I know it’s easier to pity the dogs than the people but this furthers the bleeding of our resources.
and I can add another injustice: Hondurans are arriving in Houston with DL and birth certs that look very authentic. Rumor is they are buying them at a convenience store in Splendora.
Good tip! Sounds like Abbott should look into that & put a stop to it ASAP!
“I see illegals driving brand new pickups I can’t afford. Why? Because they don’t pay taxes or medical bills. Most work their butts off and earn their money, but don’t pay into the system.”
100% true, as seen by a 55 year old Los Angeles native.
They also live 20 people deep in a 2 bedroom apartment.
flat tax works for me.
Don’t forget the feds are flying them to Florida in the middle of the night. And elsewhere. Just not to Martha’s Vineyard.
not sure if it was ever implemented but RDS threatened to charge criminally and fine NGOs assisting government efforts in this area in FL to curtail such activity…..if aiding and abetting human trafficking were ever actually prosecuted in such a manner all the interior movement of these invaders would stop….no airline, bussing company or even Amtrak would take the chance
The feds have been flying them into Florida, in the middle of the night, for a year and a half.
Exactly, Dennis. No info, no heads up, no opportunity to intercede or intercept. Now the elites can get up close and personal with the horrors of ILLEGAL Immigrants. It is the only why THEY will ever consider securing the border!
I, for one, am shocked, that these Sanctuary Cities and States are aghast at illegal aliens being put on their doorstep. It’s almost like it was really just petulant virtue signaling that they never once thought would be used against them. But here we are, and I’m not sure if it’s the illegals being there that makes their monocles shatter on the ground or that Republicans are fighting on the issue.
I, for one, am shocked, that these Sanctuary Cities and States are aghast
Seriously?
Sarcasm Sharon. Reread it with your tongue in cheek 😉
It’s all good in the heat of battle it’s easy to get caught up.
Ridicule of the highest order demanded upon the elitist NIMBY’S.
It’s all fun and games with the pinky finger in the air crowd until it is real and in their face. They disgust me.
They turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the crime(s) of many an illegal. They disgust me.
You reap what you sow. The politics of all of it!! They do disgust me.
Beverly Hills, CA should be another drop-off location. Lots of pinky fingers in the air there!
NIMBYcrats.🙃
“these unlawful migrants are people.”
No, they are invaders, and should be dealt with like any other invader would be. They do not have the right to enter, do not have the right to be here, and we have every right to defend our borders, with lethal force if necessary.
If we would build a big, solid, beautiful wall all the way along the southern border, lethal force would not be necessary, of course. Given the current wide open border situation, however…
Perhaps then we can work on deporting the tens of millions already here.
They are felons.
Did I miss something? Aren’t we all “people”? Is it not your behavior that defines your morality?
The quip ‘Illegals are people’ justifies nothing. So are drunk drivers, embezzlers, enemy soldiers, welfare louts, crack heads, and on and on. Either we have enforceable laws, or not. What the lefties demand are laws that are enforced in every way imaginable, justified or not, against the most productive to this country [try selling organic milk] and ignored for rioters, shoplifters, child groomers, and illegals.
Biden can put them to work immediately building a windmill farm around Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Block Islands.
We are in the mist of feudalism elitism and socialism known as the New World Order.
Interesting how their attitude changes when the tables are turned.
More of this, please. 🙂
Liberalism for thee, but not for me.
The legal term is “illegal aliens.” They haven’t seen fit to change the wording of the law so why should we change the language we speak?
DeSantis sugar coats it. He needs to speak plainly. Biden has ordered border patrol to NOT do their job and to do things which are actually illegal in this country which is also not their job.
Border Patrol has been made into human traffickers.
the human traffickers are Biden and his whole administration. the ones sent to MV, Chicago, NYC and DC are the lucky ones. Others are banded at the border by cartels, divided up, separated from their children (who are held hostage are carted off for exploitation). The parents are forced into labor, here or in some other place (some may be herded onto ships for exploitation in another country). Recently in Muskogee OKLA, 50 Guatemalans (speaking no English and no recognizable Spanish) were found being forced to operate a marijuana farm behind a high fence. No food, no quarters, no sanitary facilities.
Biden is guilty and will be judged by God for his treatment of fellow human beings. and all liberals should be told loudly and often that what they are doing is IMMORAL.
That must have been some crappy weed..

Sepp, I appreciated this post the first 10 or so times, but after that I began to wonder if you have anything else to offer or share with fellow Treepers other than this exact same post over and over again.
Maybe you do make other posts except for this one and I have missed them, if so I apologize for my questioning.
If Marthas Vinyard doesn’t have “affordable housing” then they need to build some! Tall apartment buildings with HUD subsidies just like the ones they want to flood the suburbs across America with.
A good old-fashioned homeless shelter and soup kitchen. I can imagine someone on Martha’s Vineyard is the director of some nonprofit with that angle as the money grab. I mean, the heart of compassion.
Yes, that sounds right.
Here! here!
Where are the “projects” on the island? Plenty of space!
“The group arrived via a chartered flight dispatched by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.”
This is rich.
Can’t we expect the Vinyard residents to build a migrant shelter and some low income housing? I’m sure they could afford it. Heck, they could even enrich their schools with some ESL classes.
Or is this only supposed to happen in neighborhoods like mine?
(Love the photo of the aristocrats. That image never gets old.)
It’s only 50 people!
Surely residents of this “sanctuary” can make some room in their guest houses.
Obama’s oceanfront compound could house 3x that many invaders!
I saw the number Sundace posted, 43, and my first thought was what the heck is in the cargo hold that they short-filled those planes which can easily hold 60+ among them. Illegals should be way light and traveling with little to nothing. Why not fill the planes up? Hmm…
Sanctuary cities should acknowledge their Border Privilege and apologize.

Leftist Economist Robert Reich Outed as ‘NIMBY’ Opposed to Forced Neighborhood Diversity

Build it!
Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” Rule # 4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
It’s about F’n time we started using their own playbook AGAINST them
Yup
These “migrants” are law breakers first.
And their Carbon Footprints are going to be added to America’s or whatever state they end up in. So that makes it all the more difficult for America’s and or state laws to lower their Globull warming causing Green House Gases they say have to be lowered to save the planet. Do you and others reading this see the conflict? You cannot be for immigration and be for the environment. Why more people do not see this obvious conflict is imo because they are propagandized/Hexed/Bewitchment or a spell as my friend Landslide calls it
always needs to be kept in mind as they talk up the virtue of these “migrants simply looking for a better life”……when you start that new life with a criminal act and have to continue in it to remain in the country, what kind of fidelity to their newly adopted home do you expect?
The law is no longer enforced.
This country hasn’t had an actual budget presented by Congress since 2009.
So the fact that they are lawbreakers is a nonstarter.
This is an entertaining development for sure. But it is also a “forcing action.” My guess is that outside of the sanctuary cities and states, people will appreciate the dark humor and irony and DeSantis’ stock will rise. Inside the sanctuaries, where illogic rules, lawyers and advocates will wail. How entertaining.
And let’s face it, you come here illegally you have no complaints about being used as political props. None.
Send all illegals to liberal cities. We need to teach these idiot liberals a lesson. I think a powerful strategy would be for all red state governors to coordinate and send all illegals to one particular big influential liberal city (NY, San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, DC etc) and flood that city until the liberal citizens of that city and state learn the truth about how illegals are bad and then they wll convert to pro-border security and anti illegal. DC would probably be best because all of the politicians would have to deal with an illegal invader infestation and they intentionally created this mess..so let them suffer in it.
Also buses are cheaper than planes, especially cheap old buses with no AC. Use those busses to send the invaders to liberal cities.
Well played by DeSantis, shifting the battle to the physical domain, which forces the left out of the narrative domain that they control. The physical domain battlefield is a more recognizable and relatable space for the public, and a tougher space from which the left can defend their position. Watch as the narratives spin in this new terrain, and let’s see if DeSantis and Abbott are press on this new front they’ve opened up.
Biden has duped over million people to come to the USA because Americans would happily share their wealth with them.
Now let us see if this is true in Martha’s Vineyard.
“However, at the end of the day these unlawful migrants are people.” While I agree with you and see this as the most important issue (because it is an eternal one)… I, for one, am tired of the globalists and the wicked using human shields to violate OUR natural human rights and deprive us of our nation, our home and our place here on earth…
Using our morality, humanity and sense of decency (two of which leftists do not share) against us is diabolical and it must be punished and stopped.
If a child was raised in a house acquired by illegal means, that innocent child will still be removed from that house and the schools they have been attending and all of the friends made there.
The difference is these illegal ALIENS (the proper legal term according to existing and active US federal law) know they are here illegally but expect our country to break its own laws for them.
It rather reminds me of my son’s ex-girlfriend. He was devastated when the ex- left him to be with another sailor. (all USN members) I had pointed out to him that the first bad sign was the fact that she left her boyfriend to be with him and that any woman capable of doing that isn’t worthy of his respect or heartbreak.
These are illegal aliens who expect our people to break our own laws to allow them here to use our free stuff.
Are they worth our respect or heartbreak?
Say what you will about Ron and his supposed scheme to win the WH, he sure does know how to play the game. Florida practically glows in the dark under his watch… if he’s deep state tool, give me more.
Tents are the solution. It works to SF. Why not Martha’s Vineyard?
I agree. Next time DeSantis should outfit them with camping gear. That would make this even more in-tents!
Until it affects those who are not in border states and not dealing with this daily, there will be no urgency and it won’t change.
I don’t like how the illegal aliens are being used, so to speak, but if this highlights the issue and gets action to secure the border, so be it.
We guarded West Germany’s border from infiltration. They would forfeit their lives if they attempted an illegal crossing. That was effective border control.
They should bus all the murderers that the loser DA’s keep letting loose to Martha’s.
They love them so much they can enjoy them.
this is funny
but the ones on Kamala’s front lawn are even funnier
If it’s anything like what’s going on in D.C., the churches, good Samaritans and local Communists will descend on them and soon they’ll be living better than a lot of us are. Watch.
Keep pumping and dumping and never stop! There’s the Hamptons, Napa & Marin Counties, Most of New England, so many wonderful places in desperate need for diversity and enhancement! I’d like to see the human waste piled so high, they can’t see over the top of it!
Officials are going to dump them here in Falmouth, MA and the local moonbats are already virtue-signalling about taking them in (which will not happen, more below).
I predicted this outcome over a year ago when the possibility of such actions first entered the public consciousness. Falmouth is the closest mainland community to the Vineyard. It is also highly segregated. The north, west, and central areas of town are very elitist, wealthy, and white. The eastern side is where all of us plebs live, particularly the large Portuguese-Brazilian community.
Officials will place the 40 or so illegals in East Falmouth, which has an existent and flourishing illegal community. Remember a story about an illegal who attacked a MAGA-hat wearer at a restaurant some time ago? The perp was a Brazilian and the assault occurred in a Falmouth restaurant.
Then they will cry about an affordable housing crisis and issue a further round of building permits to the selectmens’ extended family authorizing construction of “low-income units” far away from the wealthier parts of town.
Beautiful horse!!!! Well trained and doing a great job…
Martha’s Vineyard is deporting them?
Border states (and any others) should start sending them 1000 a day. See how they deal with that.
NIMBY on steroids. We may need to see more of it before we get real change. Certainly it’s not a long term solution, but it may be the only thing that will force Dems and GOPe to admit to their own hypocrisy (sanctuary cities, open borders, etc.)
I will repeat what I often post.
For each family that is housed, fed, clothed and have all their needs supplied
the US could be supporting ten families in their home countries
without having integration, language and cultural problems.
This could in turn help their wider communities.
You are right in principle but in practice it never, ever works. The money never makes it to the intended beneficiaries. The corruptocrats in both the donor and receiving country make sure of that.
The Vineyard is filled with empty mansions owned by multi-billionaires.
So send the illegals back to dusty, poor border towns already teeming – cause that’ll be more humane?
Or…here’s a thought. Go through the immigration system legally, like my parents, my wife, and many of my friends. It’s not like these people involuntarily left their homes to sneak into this country. I cannot understand how it is my responsibility to help foreigners violate the laws of my country, drive down my quality of life, and dramatically increase my cost of living.
Not feeling it for the illegals. Sorry.
People, yes. Hungry or starving or in danger, no. They are here illegally to take advantage of our country & people. When someone steps up to take from my family that is a red line. Thieves are people. Terrorists are people. Murders are people. I am sorry, no sympathy.
Martha’s Vineyard has a year round population of around 16,000.
During peak summer vacation season, there are over 100,000 on the island.
Certainly they can house 50 during this off peak time of year. /sarc
The comment “we’re going to need an off island location” gives the entire game away.
We’ll done Govna!
They are all citizens of somewhere. I wish de Santis would have the planes drop them off back home.
My next little project will be to figure out how they all got to Crestview Florida of all places to be flown to MVY. I imagine there’s quite an underground railroad of NGO’s and, shockers, lawyers, involved in all the countries they’re coming from.
So, serfs, shut up, go to work and pay your taxes. Nothing to see here. 🙂
This activity by Martha’s Vineyard draws attention to the line in the sand that separates actions that are racist and actions that are sanctions. Racist actions and sanctions are the same thing.
The media presents racist actions as abhorrent while trumpeting sanctions.
People will notice that the illegals were thrown off the island.
Let the frauds in the media caterwaul all they want. Then, send a bus load of illegals to Brett Baer’s house with instructions that Brett said they could stay in his guest room, and that he has no more right to stop them from coming into his house than people in AZ do to stop them from crossing the border.
Make the Left live life under their own rules.
