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 MORE
Proverbs 11:9
“An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”
That’s rich… It’s DeSantis using these people as pawns?… Really? These rich lib cunts are just unreal. They all deserve a good slap.
There is no shortage of housing on that island.
With all those mansions on the island you would think someone would have some empty rooms to put them in.
Where were all these hand wringing leftists when Biden and Obama were shipping illegals to Red States? Their outrage is very selective.
Reports are that they’ll be warehoused at Otis Air Force Base on Cape Cod.
Maybe Martha’s Vineyard resident will serenade the refugees with “You’ve Got a Friend” as they embark on the outbound ferry.
Left out James Taylor. Damn.
Time for DeSantis to send 4 plane loads a day after the first group has been discarded off Martha’s Vineyard.
“To use women and children as political pawns is”…
…what Democrats do EVERY FUCKING DAY.
Hypocrites. Their sanctuary garbage was all virtue signaling lies.
Tourist season is over; put them up in the island hotels, like they do the rest of the section eight people; it’s the least they could do. The problem is that they’re not their “kind” of people …Judge Smails was unavailable for comment.
The Obamas have a pretty good sized place, has it’s own generator too, seems like a mere 50 people would fit very comfortably in the 7,000 square feet that they once had 475 party guests in …

Keep em coming DeSantis.
I wish he sent more…
George Soros house next?
Send TONS to the Hamptons!
So the progs don’t require a certain percentage of “affordable” housing for every mansion like they require of businesses and developers? Easy to be a “sanctuary” location when you never have to worry about being taken at your word.
Frickin’ a Odin, that’s right!
Here in Maine the leftists who run things ruined tourist season by filling dozens of hotels in tourist areas with African illegals.
Now they’re sending the kids to our schools at OUR expense.
This move is great in that it shows the glaring NIMBY attitude of the virtue signaling phony liberal elitists in places like Mahhhthah’s Vinyahd.
Oh my!!
Everyone needs to go to Gateway Pundit and click on the story about the buses arriving to transport the illegals off island.
They have a picture taken of the sign that greets people as they get off the ferries.
It’s priceless!
…here’s where Marthas Vineyard folks learned to deal with immigrants…

It is priceless beachmom. I didn’t see anything about welcoming hetero white people. Too bad they didn’t think to print in Spanish, too. All that virtue signaling was lost on the dreamers.
Send More!!!
The FBI is totally corrupt and a danger to America. With that said, Aspen, Colorado needs to be targeted with a few busloads of wetbacks.
Scratch a prog and you find a NIMBY and an insincere shitbag loudmouth every stinking time
0bama could see if that huge tent he had for his birthday is still available, they could fit a couple hundred “refugees” in that thing.
“It’s ‘Martha’s Vineyard’; not ‘Viñedo de la Marta’!”

There should be room for 43 illegals on John Kerry’s yacht. Oh, I forgot that’s in Conn or some such for tax purposes.
remember when oblowme supposedly scaled back 700 hundred guests for his bday bash in the height of the plandemic
there’s plenty of room at the blowme waterfront mansion

Since Hate has no home there – there must be loads of extra room to house these not illegals – no human is illegal, doncha know.
They are MEEGA, baby!
Make Elite Enclaves Great Again!
Sabotage, baby, sabotage.
Stop the means of transport off the island, the illegals will be stuck there for awhile.
(awwwww………….)
The Rich Liberals could have them all paraded around the town square and bid on them. Hire them as pool boys, gardeners, cooks, etc. If they don\’t want them living in their mansions, build shacks out back for them, where they could keep chicken coops and grow yams and peanuts. As for paying them, the state will pick up the tab for wages, reasonable for immigrants at $6/hr. Better than they had it wherever they came from. It\’ll work out for all concerned.
If some of the \”workers\” don\’t like it, ship \’em to Chappaqua NY, or upper West Side, Manhattan, NYC.
