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:

In other Immigration News, Hungary is no longer a full democracy, says European parliament.
“How can it be considered a democracy if they refuse to obey us at the EU or refuse to let in CIA/Soros NGOs to overthrow their government?” asked EU Spokesman Schick L. Gruber.
“They even refuse to let in millions of immigrants from the destitute, war-torn areas of Asia, Africa and Edgartown Yacht Club.”
Edgartown will be the new Biafran homeland with dozens dying of starvation in mere weeks!
Reading the comments and seeing the angst from Nantucket reminds me of an old Justin Wilson story. Seems he often would give the background on how the Cajuns ended up in Louisiana. Their French speaking ancestors lived in Acadia in Nova Scotia and were kicked out. They sailed south, some landed in Massachusetts, Hyannisport he would say, but most kept on sailing til they got to south Louisiana. He would then say in that Cajun accent, “Boy am I glad they did, I would have hated to be a Cajun from Hyannisport.”
I used to watch Justin Wilson with Pops on PBS back in the 80’s! Channel 345 on DirecTV has his old show called “Justin Wilson Lookin’ Back”.. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Cajun cuisine!
That show is on RFD-TV on Saturday afternoons. I just found it last week and now are recording them. He fixed Venison Sauce Picant last week. On Uverse it’s channel 1568. Watching him make a Roux is magic.
Yep.
I gar-on-tee!
“However, at the end of the day these unlawful migrants are people.”
No they’re not. These “people” want work, they have no desire to be Americans. Their culture proclaims murder is just business. Child rape is a given. I see them everyday in processing and production facilities, I’ve watched them steal from owners and destroy equipment. I’ve watch managers steal portions of their paychecks.
It’s the unholy covenant of business lowering labor but production is down 20-30%. HR cost is enormous because of turnover and making a bet that illegals will not sue the company after 92 days our walk out collecting unemployment.
Stolen SSN’s, undeserved tax refunds, sending money back to Mexico, then watch trucks with Mexican flags flying from the bed.
Citizens murdered, raped, and killed by illegal drunk drivers and government that implies too bad so sad. Watch big box hardware stores fund illegals landscaping equipment, and materials for construction.
It’s all a lie and yet no one does anything about it or government provides sanctuary.
Yeah their just people, stealing jobs, overwhelming communities, getting free medical via Emergency Rooms, ultimately paid for by our taxes.
It never ends, we prop up Europe for 70 years paying for their defense and now taxes are shifted to illegals.
So no SD they’re not just people, but an enormous drain on our services and our lives.
They want welfare, free healthcare, free schooling and maybe work…All at the expense of American citizens…
“Vive Reconquista”/s
They are people … people who should be helped while preparations are quickly made to send them back.

Willful blindspot. Must be exhausting.
Isn’t that exactly what Joe Biden is doing? Isn’t he punishing and creating theater for the people of Texas? Of California? Of Arizona?
Ken Burns is a leftist tool.
More like Frank Burns.
BTW, the next potus needs to defind NPR and PBS. Period.

More Insty: WAS IT OVER WHEN TED CRUZ BOMBED PEARL HARBOR?! Karine Jean-Pierre
partly blames ‘Texas Governor Ted Cruz’ for lax border security (Cruz appreciates the free rent).
Everybody knows it’s because of Governor Abrams.
An emergency meeting for 43 illegals, hmmmm, any former president on the Island with about 30 acres?
I remember a 60th bday party with plenty of room and plenty of tents.
And lotsa servants wearing masks.
Remember, the celebrants did not need to wear their masks as they were “sophisticated” people!
That’s what I was thinking when I read this story earlier today: a tent encampment on Obama’s spread.
Now Winter is coming, so it would actually be best to erect sturdy temporary buildings that are heated and have electricity and bathrooms. I know the government can provide such accommodations~ they did it on the State Fairgrounds during the pandemic when a temporary, fully outfitted hospital was quickly erected.
Yeah, and he bought that big Propane tank recently so he should be able to provide plenty of heating fuel during the fuel crisis this winter!

How about issuing work visas in Mexico so we can recruit the kind of people we want here? Do a better job of facilitating hiring for the farmers who need help.
Back in the 60’s during the summers, I would see old school buses with Mexican migrant worker families on US Hwy 59. The bracero program seemed to work well enough.
A lot of commercial agriculture tasks are done by machines now. If the Brandon crowd continue pricing the farmers out of the inputs and fuel they use, we will have to ease back into a less efficient way of accomplishing the same tasks. We need to plan and try to get this right. I can assure you that Mexicans find no shame in hard work.
They ain’t come up with a machine that can shingle a roof..
They’ve thumbed their nose at any reasonable idea of bringing in workers. They’ve blown it. No more immigration for 20 years, I say. However, we’re already toast.
I believe that is sadly a thing of the past.
The old timers were proud of the work they did and they were hard workers too.
Like so much of today ..the younger generations do not have the same pride and work ethic. And that is true even for the Mexican workers .
I worked with a lady whose family owns a large cattle ranch across the border…she would get really “animated” when talking about how hard it was to get young people to work on a ranch.
Not all. . ..like our younger generations here in US-there are some that still have pride in their work and work ethic…but they seem to be the exception.
After my daughter graduated from college, I was sitting with her as she constructed her resume for her first full time job. She asked if she should include, among other job experiences, her time working for a carriage company in downtown Charleston, SC. I told her she most definitely should include it with a job description of cleaning horse stalls and caring for draft horses all day in 95 degree weather with high humidity.
She shared in her interview that the job with the carriage company was important as it was evidence that she wasn’t afraid of hard work, was dedicated, and had stamina.
She got the job she applied for and has been with this cable supplier for over 10 years. Google is one of the clients assigned to her.
Only problem with your statement is they’re not all from Mexico.
My suggestion is to selectively work with Mexico. If we had a more regular migrant worker arrangement that functioned, we would have more cooperation from Mexico. Either the largest or second largest source of foreign money that flows into Mexico is in the form of remittances from Mexicans working in the US. There is a lot of good that could be negotiated over with that kind of cash flow at stake.
affordable housing should be somewhere in the zoning code for that jurisdiction. jimmy Carter’s outfit could up the number of rooftops to get the martha’s vineyard demographics resolved.
Well there used to be some open land over by Obamas house….they could use that!!!!
Enough virtue signaling by Desantis. If he was truly MAGA he would’ve just sent them back where they came from without the press conference and fan fair.
And how would that change the democrats minds about our need to secure the border? This is a gimmick but if it works to change people’s minds, then it was a crafty decision.
And suddenly we’re not talking about Lady Graham’s election-throwing gambit. Works for me!
BINGO!
He could’ve done it without the press. The dem heads will explode anyway. Democrats are already finished. We just need to stop the cheating every way possible. Biden got 30 people to show up here for a Labor Day rally. On WH youtube channel he had 739 views. 81 million votes! I think not. If you’re not awake by now you deserve to be left behind. Blessings.
Apparently DeSantis can do no right for some people. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. And are you saying that President Trump never has fanfare? There is nothing wrong with a politician having a press conference, a rally, or just coming out and saying what they think.
Well- and needed to be-said, FreedomNinja!
Thank you.
Just remember that PDJT didn’t have a voice in his last year. They silenced him, Banned him and tried to cancel him as well. For some reason the MSM gives Desantis air time every single day. Why is that?
Trump got airtime very single day. Why was that? Still does. Why is that?
Big difference between the MSM machine and guys like Hugh Hewitt. Independent media is miniscule compared to the MSM machine.
If you call the media spouting lies about President Trump as
airtime……..well…..
you know why
States cannot do that. The court has declared immigration is a federal issue.
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.
DO IT ANYWAY.
Absolutely agree with you. Watching America die a slow death that has been hastened up a good bit by the current bunch of misfits has got the best of us filled with COLD ANGER! Blessings
Thinkin’ outside the box: We all suddenly pledge loyalty and fealty to MEXICO and demand to be made Mexican Citizens!
That would confuse the illegals who would not know what to do; stay in mexico or leave the US, and the liberals; deport us to Mexico, stop immigation??
Let’s out(Vincente)fox them!
I agree with MHart that this could turn out to be a crafty decision to wake up the minds of the sheltered ignorant.
Why not fly passles of these people to a variety of sites in the US?
The regime has been doing this very thing all along.
Good for you, Governors DeSantis and Abbott!
Clever!
These are people who are Criminal Illegal Alien Invaders and should be treated in that manner. If not put back on a plane to their home Countries within 24 hours, then they should be held in the most basic, no frills accommodations possible. No TV, nothing more than a small library if there are children. They should be processed within 48 hours with NO Lawyers as they are NOT Citizens and not entitled to what our Laws provide for us.
Treat them as harshly as possible but still humanely. Make it MISERABLE for them to come here, ZERO incentives. If they still try to come Illegally, they are jailed then deported the second they are released.
If there was a wall and armed guards they would never get here .
AMEN
The left was falling all over themselves to accept immigrants who were being transported to different areas of the country by Biden. No one was decrying that it was “cruel and inhumane”.
https://hildalsolis.org/chair-solis-statement-on-the-anticipated-closure-of-the-pomona-fairplex-emergency-intake-site/
“Of the 10 million residents who call Los Angeles County home, 1 million are undocumented immigrants. Thus, when President Biden’s administration reached out to my office to assist with the influx of unaccompanied children, I said yes right away and identified the Fairplex to serve as the emergency intake site.”
There are plenty of hotels on the island.
The fact is Martha’s Vineyard is unlike other tourist destinations, in that they really don’t want the tourists.
The ferry leaves pretty early, and the restaurants close up, because the workers all have to leave on this ferry.
The restaurants could stay open later if they could hire these illegals to work and stay there.
You mean, EARN their food and board?!
What a concept.
And how about constructing their own “tiny house” shelters on the broad empty spaces surrounding the mansions of the people who wanted them squatting on our properties? Those people could even foot the bill for the surveying, water and sewer sources, materials, and supplies!
How ’bout that?
Hopefully they brough a lot of M-30 fentanyl-lace blue pills for the Ivy Party set afterhours.
Yes these are people and they’ve already been through so much.
At least they aren’t relying on cartels for provisions.
Every community will have resources.
I have a heart for refugees and have many dear friends who came from the Chin Hills of Burma during Bush’s administration. They came to Wisconsin winter without coats or shoes.They called themselves American Baptists , yet they all lied about their children’s ages to buy time in the refugee camps (where they spent years waiting)
This present situation is more like the decision makers reaping what they sowed. They must be confronted with the consequences of their thoughtless and heartless policies.
The cartels get them through Mexico and across the border.
Last I heard that costs about 15K. And that came out of the mouth of an illegal about a year ago who was separated from the group, stumbling around in the dark and kind of …wandered into a place where border patrol was called. He was tired, thirsty and hungry. Was quite “chatty” while waiting for Border Patrol.
Pay half, then once you get here you send the Cartels money every week.
The cartels have collateral–their family members back in Mexico.
Go to a place where Western union is on a Friday…just sit and watch.
My sister worked in a convenience store in rural NC agriculture area. She even noticed all the wire transfers.
So yes, it IS human trafficking. And the cartels are making a lot of money. And for them the risk is less than drug smuggling.
I keep seeing that the MV residents are complaining about how cruel it is to send these people to MV – human trafficking etc. I hope they will tell us why – after supposedly walking through Mexico from wherever they started – what is so bad about getting delivered to Martha’s Vineyard compared to say….Chicago, Los Angeles. Seems to me they should understand that the “migrants” would be thrilled in their haven away from the hoards. (Oops….the barbarians are inside the gate!)
Perfect picture.
I would have used the new, improved and politically correct, Númenor however.
Only 43?
They should come to my town in Central N.J.
You see that in the town Square on a lean day. lol
They cut all the trees down to move them along and it doesn’t matter
They are everywhere here
Many living in cars with out of state plates many from Illinois.
I see just as many Mexican flags flying as I see MAGA stuff.
The invading Nation isn’t hiding..
True. In small-town S. Dak. I look out my window and see more Hispanic folk than those I have lived with all my life. More and more women and children walking about in these last 18 months of Biden years.
Off island. I don’t think so hypocrites. Build some low income housing like you have in good neighborhoods all over the country. What is good for the goose is good for the gander as the saying goes.
People? Give me a break, Sundance. Do the “people” of the United States have any say whatsoever what or who goes on in our own country? I’m so sick of this attitude. I can’t go to England and just say , I live here now. Why not? Aren’t I people? This soft attitude on illegal immigration is exactly why we are in the mess we are today.
Until the border issue is permanently resolved, I’m all for disbursing the illegals, especially to the blue states that want them here and the elite’s backyards.
They should be sent to every single posh uppity upper class neighborhood that is filled with D voting dingbats. Enough talk. Let them walk the walk.
Florida and Texas is being TOO humane about this.
They should be sending them by the tens of thousands, not just a few dozen or so.
Traitor to the US
Limited housing options?
The place is a tourist destination loaded with small hotels and quaint bed and breakfast places.
It’s off-season, so there should be plenty of vacancies, unless of course their proprietors are racist.
That’s a great idea. During covid I remember hearing that the homeless were being housed in hotels in NYC. MV hoteliers can phone their NYC counterparts for tips.
They are all racist and hypocrites to boot. “These are people, and we need to have compassion for them.” The rich elites say in one sentence and turn around and claim that with all their millions of collective funds they have, “no place for these people to stay and no food and shelter for them.” Whiners all. They just don’t want to rub elbows with the great unwashed, but the red state deplorable population can. Now it is all a “political stunt played by the republicans so get out and vote.” They see the splinter in the next man’s eye but cannot see the log on their own. Whose political stunt is it to leave the border wide open? Truthfully it is the democrats so get out and vote. Without belief in God, a person has no common sense. It is very obvious these days to see it.
WE are seeing that still shot from “The Patriot” often referred to as “Oh, fireworks, how LOVELY!” a lot more often, lately.
Its called WINNING!
The people in Martha Vineyard and other places like it should have to experience what we do here in AZ!
They are having a hard time with 50? Ya gotta be kidding me. ….
They conveniently refuse to listen or act upon our concerns here and
what we have been dealing with…
People have No idea what it’s like…it’s gotten so bad in my area with the load vehicles that it’s unsafe to even drive during the day.
Load vehicles usually with minor kids driving that are from CA,Phoenix and Tucson driving like crazy getting into accidents….
So along with Coyote a term few are familiar with…Load vehicles. Easy money. Kids take the risk.
So…right now my reply to Martha Vineyard – is sympathy…it’s in the Dictionary between sh!t and syphilis.
We are just sharing the “joy” …….
Maybe once they do – we will Finally get our borders closed and secure-For Good.
Send more busses! Double and triple the number! Martha’s Vineyard and all other areas like it.
What should happen is a declaration of war against the cartels to be ended by either unconditional surrender or annihilation. Those who pay the cartels to help them invade are supporting the enemy. There could be an initial phase where anyone involved could surrender and provide necessary Intel. Those here illegally who are cooperative could get a partial refund of what they paid the cartels when they are sent home.
Think Schumer will bring this up?
Indeed all the red states should be sending the illegals to New York ,Massachusetts and most of all Martha’s Vineyard send them over there. They speak so highly of these people to come in and a lot of Americans are killed because there’s so many criminals fall through the cracks.
And Seattle, Portland, L.A., San Fran, Bellingham, Ashland, EVERY Sanctuary City on the West Coast.
Plenty of choices and lots of space over there.
They can even hop the Border into B.C.- pretty sure Vancouver is a welcoming place.
White House says DeSantis and Abbott sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard and DC is a ‘cruel, premeditated political stunt’.
CK says 0bama, Bai D3n, and the corrupt D3mocrat Party flooding America with foreign invaders for over a decade is a ‘destructive and socialist political policy’.
…………..oh, kind of like when busloads of illegals were sent to Temecula, CA about ten years ago??? Cruel and premeditated like that???
https://patch.com/california/temecula/30000-illegal-aliens-arrested-at-local-checkpoints
Wondering how many of them by now have had that Anchor Baby.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Sheesh. These people are disgusting. Nobody *ANYWHERE* in the U.S. has “room to house these people”.
If you’re a Sanctuary City/State, suck it up and STFU.
…..” Martha’s Vineyard Homeless Shelter Coordinator Lisa Belcastro melted down over the 50 illegals during an interview with the Cape Cod Times.
It’s the end of the world, according to Lisa Belcastro.
“The difficult challenges are — we have to, at some point in time they [illegals] have to move from here to somewhere else – we cannot, we don’t have the services to take care of 50 immigrants and we certainly don’t have housing. We’re in a housing crisis as we are on this island! We can’t house everyone here that lives here and works here!”…..
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/09/marthas-vineyard-homeless-shelter-coordinator-melts-illegals-flown-island-move-somewhere-else-video/
This fool even says “there’s a Housing Crisis on this island”.
As. If.
Pass the hat around “The Island” and collect donations for temporary shelters to be set up.
As someone living in a free-for-all sanctuary state that now facilitates Mexican cartels bringing in both drugs and illegal workers, Lisa Belcastro sounds like a sheltered extreme left hypocrite. These privileged leftists never have a care for the native-born populations competing with this invasion for housing and jobs. Someone mentioned that LA county has 1 million illegals out of a population of 10 million. How much harder has that “extra” million made it to afford food, housing, transportation and healthcare, especially if you’re not on the free-free-free! sanctuary dole?
IOW, we don’t want THEIR kind here!
Obama’s house has room enough for all of them.
And he has other houses.
Strangely, they are all near the sea shore threatened by the rising seas he warns us about when he dismounts from his private jets to tell us we need to ride bicycles.
More than likely, these illegals were offered to go or not and what MV and MA have to offer them in benes and sanctuary, all courtesy of their websites.
And accompanying papers (in their language) with their signature showing they volunteered and the perks awaiting them🤣
There’s no difference between DeSantis flying them to MV and Biden flying them to destinations unknown. Keep it up and dump them all in MV.
Absolutely! Someone bussed or flew them to Florida. Someone bussed or flew them to the southern border. How is any of this cruel? MV is safer than Chicago.
All but minors who cross the border illegally should be held responsible for their decision, however, I assume that many of them have not been told the truth about whether it is illegal or not and many of them are being bribed with money, phones, etc. before they even get here. Yes, we should treat them with respect but back they go. I don’t disagree with DeSantis and Abbott, it’s good to put those responsible for this mess on the hot seat. They need a taste of their own medicine and that is just the tiniest bit compared to what the border states are dealing with, besides it is good press and keeps this problem in the news. I don’t see where the illegals were so mistreated when they arrived on Pelosi’s lawn and Martha’s Vineyard. There are worse places to get thrown off a bus.
What’s the matter with Martha’s Vineyard????
Can’t be the climate. Minnesota gets four seasons; and mighty cold.
Can’t be the lack of housing -either-. There are plenty of hotels and inns.
Also, there are lots of public sidewalks and beach areas.
-If public spaces are good enough for homeless Americans to live,
illegal immigrants should not be discriminated against.
What to do with a president who invites invaders and facilitates the invaders?? You charge him with treason.
A whopping 43 – 50 ILLEGAL immigrants (people)
That’s like me spitting in my 25000 gallon pool.
We have plenty so please SEND LOTS MORE!
MAGA
Nope, nope, nope. These illegal border crossers are not just people – they are an invasion. I give you “The Prince” by Niccolo Machiavelli… spells it all out for you… – p. 5 and 6
“The other and better remedy is to plant colonies in one or two of those places which form as it were the keys of the land, for it is necessary either to do this or to maintain a large force of armed men. The colonies will cost the prince little; with little or no expense on his part, he can send and maintain them; he only injures those whose lands and houses are taken to give to the new inhabitants, and these form but a small proportion of the state, and those who are injured, remaining poor and scattered, can never do any harm to him, and all the others are, on the one hand, not injured and therefore easily pacified; and, on the other, are fearful of offending lest they should be treated like those who have been dispossessed of their property.”
Further on…
“they will revenge themselves for small injuries, but cannot do so for great ones; the injury therefore that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear his vengeance.”
This was written in 1532. Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it.
Apparently King James I was an apt student of Machiavelli. See: Northern Ireland. A gift that keeps on giving. 400 years later.
Gov. Abbott: Please do Greenwich, Connecticut, the center of financial power in the Northeast
Highest Number in US History: Border Patrol Logs 8,000 Migrants Entering US Each Day
“Either the Biden administration is uninformed or they’re lying,” a senior DHS official told the Free Beacon. “We cannot process the numbers flooding our borders and the administration’s solution is scrambling for ways to let people in faster.”
Immigration authorities have already logged two million border encounters this fiscal year, a record high. The previous record holder was the 2021 fiscal year, which saw just under two million migrant encounters.
https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/highest-number-in-us-history-border-patrol-logs-8000-migrants-entering-us-each-day/
I’d like to see them sent to places like Burlington, Vermont, Portland, Maine, Dover, Delaware, and Providence, RI.
So, they’re a sanctuary, but only for gainfully employed migrants who can afford to buy a house there?
The people sent there are not immigrants, they are illegal aliens who never should have let in to the country.
The humane thing to do is deportation and repatriation to their country of origin.
At least this points to in no uncertain terms the virtue signaling hypocrisy of the left. NIMBY. Rich libs want their exclusive enclaves so as not to be impacted by their advocacy of illegality.
Since I am the only one who ever posts anything like this here it goes, If and I mean this is a big “if” DeSantis was at all serious about stopping the humanitarian crises of un-regulated non-Americans and hard dope poison flooding our beloved State, he would build checkpoints coming off the 3 main Interstate roads to be manned by Florida Nat’l Guard. The rural backroads in north Florida are already peppered with Agricultural Inspection Stations.
Every car, truck, semi and bus coming into the State should be screened for dope and human trafficking. No Exceptions. I don’t want to hear about the impact to trade and tourism. If you wanna come here don’t “ride dirty”. The State of Kansas has checkpoints on the roads coming out of Colorado to stop cannabis. New Mexico has an inspection station in the middle of nowhere outside Las Cruces that I drove through and was screened for drugs and migrants back in ’01.
Screw that. The last thing we need is to empower government to do more warrantless searches and jerk people around. The 4th Amendment is practically gutted as it is thanks to GOPe Supreme Court appointees. Empowering government to search and spy to supposedly fight terrorism is how we got into this mess. What needs to be done is securing the national border with Mexico. American citizens should be free to go wherever they want without being harassed by the government.
They have side scanning xray machines at the Port Of Miami, it can be done. All the illegals want to come to Florida. I guess we will do nothing until we are hopelessly overrun with people who can’t fend for themselves and the dope fiend Tent Cities will spill out from the wooded areas behind the Big Box stores and strip malls and into our front yards like Commiefornia.
These individuals have chosen to violate the U.S. immigration laws and, therefore, they are criminals.
In addition, the cities and states who have declared themselves “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants need to start walkin’ the walk and not just talk the talk.
The millionaires and billionaires on Martha’s Vineyard have plenty of extra rooms (many are second homes for these people). They should open their doors and welcome the illegal immigrants with open arms. The elites are the ones that are regarding these people as less than.

Typical Leftists, always looking for someone else to pay the cost for THEIR policies.
These unlawful people are invaders who should be treated as such. Imprisoned until they’re expelled.
Can’t yell ‘HYPOCRITES’ load enough!
Almost always with the left leaning – it’s all good until it shows up in my backyard. I have zero sympathy for the citizens of Martha’s Vineyard and even less regard for a government immigration policy that is inundating the entire country but most effectively destroyng all of the states on the Mexican border.
Ironic that Fernandes refers to this as a political stunt. Perhaps it is, but so is his statement, and the left’s encouragement of illegal immigration.
And dumping them in red states is a blatant attempt to change the culture, the demographics and the political landscape. Despicable.
Go look at this… guy….Fernandes…I’d rather have a few illegals over for dinner than this wanker.
Perhaps all illegal immigrants should be covered by victim of crime payments. The cartels victimise all of them and congress encourages them to break laws of immigration.
During the 1990s, Rush Hudson Limbaugh talked frequently and passionately about the danger of losing the language.…because of the consequences that would follow.
He was so everlastingly right.
We’ve lost the language. So here we are.
Right is wrong; up is down; moral is immoral;. and, wicked people are in charge of stuff.
Reminds me of stuff Isaiah and Jeremiah warned the nation of Israel about, prior to their departure for Babylon and parts unknown.
…and I forgot to acknowledge…..men are women, women are men, men have periods, and women have penises…. the wickedness embedded in this nation is deliberate and is all on the same continuum…..the abandonment of reason and language is not incidental. for these purposes: it is necessary.
Apparently MV is sanctuary city in name only. Reap what you sow is the moral of the story.
I’m in full agreement to send every illegal immigrant to every state that took the time to pass a sanctuary bill. Screw this charade. RDS is 100% correct. Florida is “not” a sanctuary state. They belong with the people that have passed a law welcoming them to their community. Maybe, just maybe they’ll get sick of the crime and drain on resources. Close the border.!
The Mayor of Chicago declared them all welcome to her “sanctuary city,” and then promptly bussed them out to a suburb. You can’t make this stuff up. No one would believe us.
Local hews story on it

Send them back to Beetlejuice.
bussed them to a fairly wealthy suburb–
Deport illegal aliens and prosecute “sanctuary” state/county/city administrators.
Every Republican Governor should be rounding up these Illegals and send them to every Blue State. I do not agree with Sundance’s last statement that these: At the end of the day these unlawful migrants are just people. First of all they are not migrants, they are Illegals who are coming into this Country illegally. 2nd, I live in Florida, and I voted for DeSantis knowing that I would not have to pay for these Illegals coming into my State. DeSantis has put aside something like 20 million in the budget for the purpose of moving the Illegals out os the state and I hope his spends every penny of that 20 million.
I agree. What is Abbot supposed to do? Can he enforce the border? I think Biden would send the national guard from other states to arrest the Texas Guard if he tried it. Sundance is right, this is not a good solution, but it has to wake up sanctuary cities to the utter hypocrisy.
The people treating the illegals as pawns are the people supporting open borders. They know the illegals will be a permanent underclass and they are fine with it.
It is another form of slavery.
Exactly, every illegal we can get our hands on should be sent forthwith and posthaste to a sanctuary community, city or state. They asked for it now suck on it.
I would wager those ~43 were vetted actors.
Maybe Guarantee…. Justin Wilson style.
