Welcome to paradise. Oops, but you can’t stay here.
No, not in Martha’s Vineyard, MA. Not in this playground for the mostly white (except for the Obamas) and wealthy. Not in this “sanctuary state” that promised you refuge.
Within 24 hours of the arrival of 50 illegal migrants — flown in courtesy of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — Massachusetts declared a “humanitarian crisis,” begged for federal help, activated 125 National Guardsmen — that’s 2.5 Guardsmen per migrant — and bussed the illegals, mostly single men, to Joint Base Cape Cod, a military base, as there was simply not enough housing on the island.
Not enough housing on Martha’s Island? Christina Pushaw, spokeswoman for the DeSantis campaign, said Biden voters on Martha’s Vineyard ought to open their homes — most empty except for the summer months — to newly arrived illegal aliens.
“Martha’s Vineyard claims to be a ‘sanctuary’ jurisdiction that welcomes illegal aliens,” Pushaw wrote on Twitter. “Most of those multi-million dollar mansions are summer homes that are vacant most of the year. They can be used to house thousands of illegal migrants. Time to walk the walk, Biden voters.”
Early in President Trump’s term, Martha’s Vineyard styled itself a “sanctuary destination” that welcomed migrants. As if to underscore its commitment to an open border, in 2020, the island voted 84% for Biden. And nobody thought ballots were stuffed. These people welcomed migrants, they wanted to do their part.
Turns out they were just virtue signaling.
From the day he took office, President Biden has done everything he could — legally and otherwise — to wipe out the gains President Trump made against illegal migration. As a result, more than 2 million citizens of other countries have walked into ours. Vice President Kamala Harris, supposedly in charge of the border, said the other day it is totally secure. I guess except for the human traffickers and drug cartals bringing Fentanyl and other deadly drugs with them across the southern border.
In response, Gov. Greg Abbott sent two busloads of illegal migrants to her doorstep, at the vice president’s mansion on Massachusetts Avenue. They were quickly moved to Union Station, where relief workers greeted them.
Dems are fuming. They are talking about bringing kidnapping charges against DeSantis and Abbott — an unlikely charge, since all the migrants signed waivers. Dem candidates are refusing to answer if they think the border is secure. They are blaming Republicans for politicizing the issue of immigration. Biden accused Republican governors of “playing politics with human beings, using them as props. What they’re doing is simply wrong, it’s un-American, it’s reckless."
P-l-eeeeease. It was the Biden administration that in 2021 flew migrants all over the country in the middle of the night — airlifting them into middle class cities from border to border. And it was the Biden administration that flooded border towns like Brownsville, TX with so many migrants that streets look like a Third World country. How they would delight in a ratio of 125 Guardsmen for every 50 migrants.
The system is “simply overwhelmed,” said Maverick County Deputy Constable Frank Bowles. “We're averaging about 3,000 coming across on a daily basis. And our 911 system is constantly being pushed to the limit here locally, answering calls for service, dealing with the migrants from the community, a lot of them coming into the neighborhoods, wandering around, knocking on doors at one or two in the morning.”
If you ask Far Left Dems why they want an open border, there are winks and nods about the color of our electorate — “let the Brown People in,” seems the refrain. How ironic that Hispanic voters are turning more and more toward the Republican Party.
There is plenty of grief here to go around — the RINOs in Congress who fought Trump at every step as he tried to build a wall, the Trump Derangement Syndrome that pushed even sane Dems to support an open border. But the bottom line is that without a regulated border, without sovereignty, we have no country.
And if that’s what white liberal wealthy voters in Martha’s Vineyard want, they need to open wide the doors of their mansions and let the migrants in.
All these elites are angry because we are shining the light on what they really are. This was the most effective way to show what they think and the hypocrisy!
THEY NEED TO OWN WHAT THEY SUPPORt!!!!
All that virtue signaling by liberal democrats is just that.....signaling, and nothing more! "We have a housing problem"...."We have no services for these people"...say the white liberal democrats on MV....really? So during the winter months the population of MV is about 17,000, however, during the summer months as many as 100,000 people live on the island. So tell me why you can't house 50 illegal immigrants? I'm sure the Obama's mansion could house them in just one wing. Hey libs do you hear that sound? That sound is the rest of the country laughing at you and your empty virtue signaling. Wipe the egg off your faces and do the right thing for a change!
