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:
Playing hot potato with the free range humans.
I have nothing against human beings trying to survive, but these are the most well fed refugees I’ve seen in my life.
20% of the houses on my street are occupied by illegals. It was bad when a dozen military aged, drunken Guatamalans lived next door.
Thank God a Mexican family moved in next door. To me, it seems like Mexico is chasing all of their citizens with Indian blood North to the U.S.
The house next door is a modern day Underground Railroad stop.
Nice clothes and really nice phones too.
And newer vehicles than we own, but I live well below my means (I have money in my pocket that will never see the light of day), so that’s not saying much.
But seriously, they easily own $100,000 dollars worth of cars (for five or six adults).
How do they insure these vehicles?
Hahahahaha ha ha … sorry … you made me laugh
I have Hispanic neighbors. They do own their own business in town (of course it’s a Taqueria) but they do have means of supporting themselves, which is quite refreshing actually
There’s 6-12 living in the house at any given point and no less than seven vehicles parked in the yard (not necessarily in the driveway) at all times.
The younger son has a Mustang GT that he takes out late at night about once a week.
The wife calls it “walking his pony”
All courtesy of the US Government! Guess who is paying the rent?
I lived in Yuma for 5 years until 2020, our really nice neighborhood had a park, sidewalks, well lit streets, and 3 houses that were drop-off, holding houses. Each house had to turn-over at least 100 illegals every week – at least!. Families, nothing but backpacks and lots of kids. Walking my dog every night, I could easily document the rate of turnover -I never said “Hola!!” to the same person twice. (and always CCd)

Local Man Offers to House Immigrants Since It Was His Big ******* Idea In the First Place
Rest in the Vine: MNN Breaking News UPDATE
Just saw a video of a resident of the Vineyard explaining to us regulars that “We simply do not have the services or the housing for these people.”
Hey, lady, what makes you think other places do?
And, oh, yeah, haven’t you seen the tent cities all over blue states and cities?
I see a lot of acreage in videos of your beautiful village, green grasses and all? Help those migrants put up tents.
Gov DeSantis needs to increase the number of planes and buses
Step on the gas- send multiple flights and buses – ever increasing numbers of illegals out of Florida.
LET’S GO!!!
Watch the increased spike in drunk driving fatalities on MV…. nothing that big since Ted the Chappaquidick kid rode into down….into the drink(s).
Ouch …

Move off island sounds euphemistically an awful lot like “deport them”. So democratic values are basically all a virtue signaling farce. Got it…….
Move them to Guam
Oh wait -it will tip over!
Smiling….
These people have no understanding of anything at all.
They just come up w/ a nonsense phrase/sentence once every couple decades then repeat it endlessly for every situation.
It’s just so pathetic.
Brain Dead Idiots.
I would love to be flown for free to the SAFEST and RICHEST neighborhood in the Western World. Heck, that late summer weather is awesome!! Better than FLA or TX or NM!!!
Autumn is very beautiful too.
And the Spring comes early – earlier th/ most of the NE anyway. And it’s so showy w/ flowering plants .
And the winters are some of the mildest in the US. Cold enough for a few beautiful snowfalls, but NOTHING like other snowy/Northern areas of the US.
Really, MA. and CT. both have great weather and 4 beautiful seasons.
Yeah, what can I say?
It’s Paradise – and these illegals are really fortunate to be there. Too bad their Hosts are such d*ckheads.
If he has a beef about not being Christian, he needs to address his statements to Joe “Let ‘em all in” Biden and Kamala “there is no border crisis” Harris. Take your fake outrage to the source of the problem!
Wow. I think Jonathan needs a nap.
Meanwhile, apparently this fool (the tweet author), has no clue that FBJ has been “trafficking human beings”, millions of them – for the past year and a half, all over this country in the dead of night.
I see one of the “complaints” from the sanctuary crowd is that “no notification was given”. Oh.
Well … THAT … got a reaction, didn’t it. Mission Accomplished, Mr. DeSantis
He’s probably pro abortion and gay right you hypocrite.
“Trafficking” on really nice, new buses? Air conditioned? They were given really nice clothes, shoes, phone, etc. The rest of us can’t take trips because of the cost of gas.
Bud, you really don’t understand the meaning of “trafficking.”
We SPENT money on these people who weren’t invited or vetted. Traffickers TAKE money.
It may not be a direct solution but it’s he road to a permanent solution. Once you start making it the problem of the liars, they have a real hard time continuing their open border policies. Keep making it their problem too. When it becomes unbearable, they’ll knuckle under and close the border.
We should have started doing this a year & a half ago! Before they allowed 3-5 million more in!
Trump said he was going to send illegals to MV but never got around to it.
No, the US didn’t spend it. The American taxpayers were bilked out of their money by the transhuman in the White House. His power pack runs on solar power. That’s w hey he runs so inconsistently.
Too funny. How are those rules for radicals working out for you sanctuary towns, cities and a
states.
Make them live up to their own rules as it were. They aren’t liking it very much it seems.
When the illegal aliens started their journey to the US southern border from wherever they started, did most of them have a final destination in mind? No. They just wanted to reach the good old USA because wherever they ended up once inside the US border was better than the shiitehole they left. The idea that moving people from 10 feet inside the border in Texas to Chicago, DC, New York or Martha’s Vineyard via an air-conditioned bus or airplane after all the shiite they put up with getting to this country is “ray-ciss” or “inhumane” is ridiculous. And I know those illegals who wind up in MV won’t stay there. They will be shipped out to some other fly-over state the leftist hypocrites who live there believe is better suited for their station in life. But the idea that people in MV will actually have to be in close proximity to someone who has a net worth under 8 figures for 15 minutes while they figure out where the illegals will end up and that they actually have to deal with the logistics of the ship-out sends a thrill up my leg.
White privilege moves them off the Vineyard!
How does that statement factor in The Crimson Kenyan and Oprah, both of whom have palaces on MV?
That is what the locals call their “halfer and hefier ” token folk .
It’s not inhumane to fly these economic migrants for FREE to the safest and toniest neighborhood in the US!!! I wish I could go there for a long weekend but I have to work to pay taxes!
You’re not allowed to call what is happening at the border a crisis either.
Yes Mom. That’s liberal logic. Bass awkward!
[cue Smirnoff Raw Tea ad from 2007 “Tea Partay” from Martha’s Vineyard….. “Where my WASPs at???!!!
“Raw tea in the parlor makes the Ladies holla!”]
Why does this make me laugh. My two year old give better tanturms.
The governor of Illinois on Wednesday issued an emergency disaster proclamation after several hundred illegal immigrants were bused from the U.S.–Mexico border to Illinois.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, issued an executive order to send 75 members of the state National Guard to assist in making sure “all state resources are available to support asylum seekers arriving nearly daily to Chicago from the state of Texas.”
Biden has been flying and bussing them to Chicago for years now. Boston, too. NYC. Philly. Alaska. Name it.
“But it’s different when we do it(tm).”
They’re NOT Mexican!
I love the message, oh it is cruel to send them there! Why, because you will be mean to them and abuse them? Nothing like your slaves delivered to your door.
How many of the 50 will disappear into MV to become gardener-slaves…
The Biden Admin refused to secure the border, so it was time to bring the border to Martha’s Vineyard

The ONLY problem I have is that De Santis should have given them pop-up tents in their luggage
Next stop—Rehobeth Beach!
nah. Let the good peeps of MV donate the pop-up tents.
They got the free ride to MV from FL. That’s enough.
NIMBY libtards get what they wanted. Diversity.
Smiles! Smiles, everyone!
They could hold a public auction. Pretty sure those mansions can use some new servants.
Tucker’s opening tonight is spot on! Venezuela Vineyard…
OMGosh, I saw the video online and Tucker was great. He ripped the “diverse” elites a new one.
I added an “s” in Girl by mistake. I guess I had the beach song on my mind. Sorry.
Good news for Vice President of the United States (who is always being positioned for success- as per Ace of Spades)! She can just go on a “working” vacation to Martha’s Vineyard to finally track down those elusive “ROOT CAUSES” of why Central and South Americans and Africans, and Muslims, and Asians want to come to the US illegally…. and not have to even fly to the Mexican Border!!! Win -Win!!
Another good thing would be that Second Gentlemen Emhoff’s SUPERMODEL daughter, Ella, would be able to share tips on maintaining their monobrows with the Guatamalan illegals!!! DIVERSITY IS STRENGTH!
Leftists patting themselves on the back for being “humanitarians” while making moves to get rid of them.
Oh how I hate virtue signaling.
Appears to me that the Obama mansion alone could house 43 but we’re getting into the rules for thee but not for me white (or half-white ) privilege rules, aren’t we? All this time I thought liberals were in favor of illegal immigration. Martha’s Vineyard needs to prepare. Texas gets 43 illegal alien crossings in q0 minutes but you have gone full Rhett Butler on them (for those who don’t know—his famous one liner to Scarlet was “frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
Residents of Martha’s Vineyard are xenophobes. There are no shacks there. Just mansions with loads of guest rooms. More than enough for 43 illegal aliens!
43 illegals and their extended families when they arrive!
They will likely do what Lori Lightfoot and Pritzker did which was move the illegal invaders into Republican suburbs.
They’ll put them all on the ferry going to conservative Nantucket Island.
Biden and Obama invited them they should all go to Martha’s Vineyard they have the stolen tax payer $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$there.
Libtards love to scream about illegal immigrant lives that the nation has to support,
but willingly kill the nations citizen babies in the womb.
How many illegal aliens do we need to admit to make up for all the murdered American babies?
This is no more or no less than any “political gimmick” the Democrats play on a daily basis
I’m encouraged by the “fight fire with fire” method of giving Democrats a taste of the crap they want everyone else to eat
If it enflames them to the point of positive action of any kind, it’s all well worth the effort
If not, just give them increasing doses until it starts to taste really bad
It’s not a gimmick, tho.
It’s a legitimate way to handle the problem.
These Illegals *should* be where they are wanted>>>> in Sanctuary Cities and States.
So it’s just common sense to get them to Sanctuary Cities, pronto.
Well, I’m finally watching Tucker again tonite.
And it’s hysterical.
Opened with both Michelle and Barack giving Virtue Signaling welcoming speeches to Illegals- fr/ a few years back I guess.
Did they show up today to greet the Newcomers?
This does absolutely nothing to address the “illegal immigration” issue, all it does is move them around the country.
Last time I checked, the US still has running cars and buses. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the United States, but I still think this is true. All they have to do is hop on a bus or get a ride to wherever they wanted to go, they’re not that stupid.
There’s not a single person that I know of that doesn’t know about the illegal immigration problem in the US, all the way from MD, to WI, to OR and especially in TX. Nothing is going to sway to Democrats from their way of thinking, they’re all in on the Great Reset and there’s no turning back for them.
This is what I meant a while back about DeSantis, piece-meal legislation, petty gimmicks and just enough talk to keep the voters interested.
Yes , you are right that it does nothing to STOP the problem immediately.
But, I think we ALL know that this is a problem that will not stop immediately. So why even bring that up?
What *MIGHT* help it to stop eventually, tho, is precisely what is happening now>>> Ship these people off to Sanctuary Cities. It may be the ONLY way to get these idiots to the table for a discussion on finally putting an end to this BS.
Nowhere in my post did I mention the word “immediately”.
“It may be the ONLY way to get these idiots to the table for a discussion on finally putting an end to this BS.”
You’re naive if you believe that, this is not a problem that has suddenly come up, it’s been there for everyone to see for a long time and everyone knows it.
It wasn’t a problem when Pres Trump was in office.
It was still a problem, but at least he was doing something real about it.
So maybe, just maybe, the more Sanctuary Cities these people are sent to, the more pressure the Dems will feel to shut the Border – at least to the extent that Trump did.
Apparently tho, these peeps in MV are , at the very least, suddenly taken aback by the problem.
You really think they concerned themselves with this before? Aside fr/ labeling themselves as a Sanctuary City?
I doubt it.
Now multiply them by the millions of brain dead Libtards around the country.
Sometimes you have to rub someone’s nose in it before they Wake Up and smell the coffee.
I agree that they are suddenly taken aback by it.
To get them to the table to discuss the issue would mean they have all of our best interests in mind, when the reality is, they have only their best interests in mind.
It’s not that they’re misinformed, the problem is they don’t care, as long as they have their own little safe haven in MV.
“Sometimes you have to rub someone’s nose in it before they Wake Up and smell the coffee.”
They could snort it or freebase it into their into their system and they still would never wake up. Some of them are so brainwashed, an illegal could break into their mansion and they would either apologize for triggering something in the illegal that made them break into their mansion, or say ‘sorry’ about their white privilege.
I’ve actually read articles relating to this some time back.
I’m finding it hard to believe that you think even a tiny fraction of Libs around this country are aware of what’s happening on a daily basis at the TX border.
The “media” they read and view on TV does not touch this problem.
You admit that you aren’t in the USA. That makes it clear that this domestic US crisis is none of your business. Go run your own country.
This as a federal failure to protect our borders. Coming from Texas, I’m all in for spreading the love and expense though. Since apparently we are not allowed to return them home the least we can do (WWJD) is ensure they be given sanctuary. Dozens of cities/states proclaim themselves as sancturaries so let’s get on with it. Then charge their governments a delivery fee to cover travel expenses.
I see this as a solution until the wall is finished, the border is closed and the laws are upheld.
The left’s idea of sanctuary city is to say you are one but not actually be one.?
Seattle would welcome them. Lots of empty office buildings.
Really. Amazon just abandoned it’s building at South Lake Union a few months ago, right?
To reach the globalists’ goal of 100 million, wait until more aid to families with dependent children comes through the pipeline to encourage massive breeding. They studied Kalergi and Cloward-Piven for decades while we were earning a living and paying taxes.
Wow! Only a few comments to add to the Patriot coalition out there.
As a Floridian I am behind Gov. DeSantis 1000%. Like it or not, harsh or not, he is doing what is best for Fl. as he was elected to do.
In response to some of the comments;
As a Florida Redneck, I find it commonplace for redneck trump supporters to work alongside “mexicans”, although the term Hispanics would be correct. They may be from Guatemala, Honduras or Venezuela as well as Mexico and if you were to talk to them you would find most are here legally and value our laws and support legal immigration. I for one always ask if they are here legally and find we have much in common including their love of America, our freedom and our 2nd amendment.
With all due respect, I find the terms “illegal economic migrants” and “unlawful migrants” to be far left establishment terms. There are a plethora of terms that could be used to describe them starting with trespassers, invaders, criminals, illegals etc. In this country we put criminals in jail or deport them which is where all the criminal immigrants should be. While it is unfortunate that children are involved that is no excuse. If you bring your child with you to shoplift you still go to jail. If you must think of them as migrants to appease your conscience, then we are just migrating them to a new location.
Regardless, they need to be removed from our state.
Additionally, the concept that the “transport of these illegals is not a solution” is not accurate. While it is true that relocation does not address the underlying problem of an open border or the insurmountable cost of caring for the immigrants, it is a pertinent solution for Fl. and the citizens and taxpayers who live here. Looking out for us FIRST is what we expect from any Governor or President that we elect to represent us.
I GUARANTEE that if I find someone trespassing on my property they will agree that relocating themselves to another location, far away, is going to be the best solution for them!
One last item, PLEASE REMEMBER, tomorrow is National POW/MIA Recognition Day.
Please keep the men and women still out there, as well as their families and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
Fly your Flags if you got them.
Sending them to Detroit might be “harsh”.
In no way is sending them to MV harsh.
It’s a beautiful, low crime area of the States, with plenty of wealthy people to donate their $$$ to help ’em out.

The Democrat-led city of El Paso, TX has been sending its own buses of migrants to NYC, and just approved up to a $2 million contract for 16 months to bus even more migrants out of town. They are also requesting federal reimbursement.
El Paso, however, is not being criticized.

https://mobile.twitter.com/BillFOXLA/status/1570519783589949440
El Paso has about a thousand illegals sleeping on the streets of downtown, they have no shelter space.
I’m here now and saw this on the local new channel this morning. The reporter said there are no bathrooms,
and the illegals are having to go in a fenced area…locals guy complained of smell.
Reporter did say the city planned to tranport elsewhere.
The people I am visiting who have lived here all their life, I was told,
have never ever had homeless people living on El Paso streets.
NIMBY, a classic symptom of Mass libs on the islands off Cape Cod
I always laugh when Sundance uses the picture of the haughty aristocrats with their noses in the air with an attitude of contempt for their inferiors. It is always so appropriate for the story at hand. Can anyone tell me what movie/TV show the picture is from?
The Patriot with Mel Gibson I think. Lord knows I should know this….my husband watches it almost every time its on!!😠
It is “The Patriot” with Mel Gibson in the title role. That scene is classic. It starts with Lord Cornwallis (2nd from right) complaining about not having a decent uniform to wear and wondering when his wardrobe will be brought from the ship in the harbor to his lodging so he can change into something more befitting a British lord. This is followed by a huge explosion as the colonial insurrectionists blow up the ship. The woman in the picture exclaims “Ooh, fireworks” as the three effete men look on in horror. While only loosely based on historical fact, it is entertaining. It’s definitely worth watching.
Thank you for the info. Not sure why I’ve never watched it but will try to do so.
Thank you, Susan.
What an A$$.
And all the Libs in the comments are calling this “kidnapping, human trafficking”, etc.
These people are such idiots.
The hypocrisy is just staggering.
They need to keep sending more illegals to these snotty, lefty sanctuaries.
“Pawns”, that’s all these people are or ever were to these elites.
Stop voting democrat..STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!
I would love to see that Zoom meeting.
The illegals are people, but they made the choice to come here. It would be nice if they realized America isn’t what it was cracked up to be and they will go home.
Once they see the Democrats as tyrants and despots, they’ll start thinking: “We just left our country for the same reason”. Some of the Illegal aliens sent to Martha’s Vineyard and in front of Kamala Harris’ house in D.C. are coming from Venezuela where their dictator confiscated all firearms, cut the people off from food, water and medical care. Over 1 Million Venezuelans crossed into Colombia to get away from tyrant Maduro. Colombia had to close its eastern border using military because they couldn’t handle the influx of over 1 Million Venezuelans. Same for Brazil. Over 1 Million crossed into Brazil. Brazil had to use military to shut their western border.
and they were given a choice to go on this trip as well. no one was forced to do anything
Build some low income housing or section 8 housing like the rest of America is forced to do for failed social policies of Progressive azhats
I’ve been wanting to see that for decades. Having the people who come up with and underwrite these policies suffer from the consequences, and not be immune because of power, position, where they live and or wealth.
