Martha’s Vineyard had no problem welcoming the illegal immigrants flown to the rich Democratic playground from Florida.
But only for 24 hours.
Now the swanky resort island is shipping the illegal immigrants to the Cape Cod military base:
Today, the Baker-Polito Administration announced new shelter and humanitarian supports at Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC) for the approximately 50 migrants who arrived in Martha’s Vineyard this week. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) is coordinating efforts among state and local officials to ensure access to food, shelter and essential services for these men, women and children. Governor Charlie Baker also plans to activate up to 125 members of the Massachusetts National Guard as part of this relief effort.
Shortly after the arrival of these individuals, Martha’s Vineyard residents joined with local and state officials to create temporary shelter and provide necessities in a moment of urgent need. However, the island communities are not equipped to provide sustainable accommodation, and state officials developed a plan to deliver a comprehensive humanitarian response. On Friday, September 16, the Commonwealth will offer transportation to a new temporary shelter on JBCC. This move will be voluntary.
JBCC is a facility already designated by MEMA as an emergency shelter in Barnstable County, and its existing infrastructure provides a safe temporary accommodation appropriate for the specific needs of families and individuals. Additionally, the facility can provide dedicated space for access to legal services and other essential services such as basic healthcare. JBCC has historically housed and cared for displaced individuals, including Louisiana residents fleeing the impact of Hurricane Katrina, as well as an alternative care medical site for Massachusetts residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the media frames it so differently than the way they frame it when the illegal immigrants arrive from Arizona, Florida, and Texas.
- The Hill: Migrants relocated from Martha’s Vineyard to Massachusetts military base
- CNN: The migrants sent to Martha’s Vineyard will be voluntarily taken to a military base for shelter and support
- Axios: Migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard offered shelter at Cape Cod military base
How does the media frame the actions from the other side?
- The Daily Beast: Texas Dumps Two Busloads of Migrants in Front of Kamala Harris’ D.C. Residence
- The New York Times: DeSantis and Abbott Intensify Fight Over Immigration
- Newsweek: Greg Abbott Continues Bussing Legal Asylum Seekers to Northern Cities
Martha’s Vineyard homeless advocate cried because the ritzy island just could not take care of the 50 illegal immigrants.
Lady, I present this tweet from Bill Melugin. Eagle Pass, TX, saw over 500 people cross the border this morning.
500!
That’s 400,000 in 2022.
More video from our brand new @FoxNews night flying drone with thermal imaging from early this morning. Within just 2 hours in Eagle Pass, TX this AM, we saw 3 large groups totaling 500+ crossing illegally in three spots.

By the way, the illegal immigrants also got on the buses on their own free will to Chicago, NYC, DC, and Martha’s Vineyard.
This was a very well done report by Gary Tuchman at CNN who went to a NGO in Eagle Pass & spoke to migrants before they boarded the buses, where the migrants themselves said they were happy to make the trip.https://t.co/gBS40lzJDk

It’s amazing how quickly the services on MV were able to react and sump the illegals
There is a Go Fund Me that reached $42k, maybe more now. For real.

BREAKING: All but one illegal immigrant was removed from Martha’s Vineyard… That one had a fake Birth Certificate from Hawaii.
That’s a joke, son, but ponder:
“On Friday, September 16, the Commonwealth will offer transportation to a new temporary shelter on JBCC. This move will be voluntary.”
Now I want some “journalist” to report for me how many immigrants were allowed to decline the ride. How many are still there on Saturday?
“Martha’s Vineyard Kicks Out 50 Illegal Immigrants”
Golly! How strange. Words and actions don’t match.
Who knew that Martha’s Vineyard was a Sundown City?
If you’re going to be an uninvited guest on MV, at least bring a decent wine. Or call out “James Taylor!” cuz “you’ve got a friend”.
makes them human traffickers per their own rulings in ….past (36 hours or so) ….cases..
Well, I reckon that was the Christian thing to do.
As Lucy used to say, “I love humanity. It’s people I can’t stand.”
The MV residents will have to get a lawyer to rework their virtue signal sign.
LMAO
This is great precedent now the Guv can call out the guard then round em’ up and send them all to military bases. What is good for Migrants Vinyard is good for Florida. Head em’ up, Move em’ out!
They should have taken sanctuary in a church.
They did. St. Andrew’s took them in – for one night until the National Guard came to haul them away,
And there was no, “Avaunt, foul varlet, for we grant these children of God holy sanctuary in this place?”
Wow, now… these folks know what it means to be Christian!
I don’t really care what MV does. What bothers me, and I should seek therapy, is the media treatment. They will report all day long how “welcoming” MV was, but NEVER report the city council declared a state of emergency FOR 50 PEOPLE, and then shipped them off.
I should seek therapy because expecting the media to be neutral is a delusion. In my defense my delusion is built on the fact we have a majority of stupid people in this country—highly educated, but stupid. If we didn’t have stupid people being led by their hog ring (oops, nose ring), I wouldn’t care about “journalism” so much.
Please somebody, anybody, commit me. I don’t think my delusion will end anytime soon.
and while this was happening El Paso alone had 1000 people released into their city due to lack of facilities federally.
Not just Federal but local charities as well. El Paso has lots of charities that provide beds/meals but are completely tapped out. The folks out on the sidewalk by the bus station wouldn’t be there if there was room.
I lived in EP for ten years and it is an incredibly giving place that works hard to make sure these folks don’t get left on the street due to federal eff ups. The border communities are overwhelmed. It’s one reason I left EP. It is incredibly frustrating to work to live up to ones beliefs in providing personal charity only to have that taken advantage of by a cynical Federal govt and cynical open borders advocates.

@BillFOXLA
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.
In MA, it is hilarious. Someone called the towns of Amherst and Northampton, as left as left can be, alleging to be from Gov. Abbott’s office, claiming that several busloads of illegals, ahem, “migrants,” are en route to their respective towns.
Needless to say, the “tolerant and accepting” sanctuary city residents went into a full panic, making calls to their respective mayors, and being reassured that “they don’t believe that the calls were legitimate.”
If you don’t live near here, it is hard to describe just what a communist cesspool these two towns are, and to watch the utter panic, after all their claims of “support the migrants,” not to mention the BLM protests etc. There major crosswalk is a freaking rainbow!
Yet here they are, wailing and moaning that they might have to live up to the lip service (a dangerous term in Northampton, home of Smith College) they constantly spout.
And the left claims that this is a political stunt, but in the next breath, will say that Biden is letting all these illegals in to spur Congress to “reform” immigration laws.
Maybe Scott Johnson will like to report on that. And reinstate me on their site….. 😉

Keep sending them to the sanctuary.
Yes, by the thousands, Send them all.
We should get together a fund to send MV a case of alcohol wipes. Now that the poor, brown people are gone, they’ll need to cleanse the island and return it to its pristine condition.
Huh, after all the wailing and rending of garments by d/prog objecting to anyone transporting illegal immigrants I didn’t have ‘use the National Guard to exile them to a military facility’ on my bingo card.
Wow, they’ve already kicked them out? How welcoming of them.
Groucho Marx: “Hello, I must be going!”
Karl Marx: “Hello, you must begone!”
The keep sending them; the can be the new Ellis Island!!
Yes. Looks as if a scant 48 hours of their version of “Christian charity” was too exhausting to keep up. They had no choice but to ship them out in order to recover and catch their breath.
In keeping with evolving progressive views, henceforth Martha’s Vineyard shall be called: “Hypocrite’s Vineyard.”
Make regular flights Ron. This is excellent.
There is a small beach town in Delaware that should be next on the list
Let all the illegals in
But NIMBY
Signed
Every Leftist.
Byron Donalds has the message that speaks truth about the frauds, particularly Biden, that claim to represent morality and the American way.

So Martha’s Vineyard is now officially engaged in human trafficking…
Who wants to alert the DOJ…
Do they keep the fentanyl?
Stop calling them migrants. Call them invaders. Call them illegals. I think DeSantis should have (2) incoming flights daily. I dare the feds to stop this.
Actually, I prefer foreign invaders. When foreign nationals cross your border en masse in violation of your laws, it is an act of war.
Pause while Leftists try to find some way to redefine facts.

DW made note of the fact that the illegals they interviewed outside the VP’s house called themselves “illegals.”
Well, that doesn’t seem like a very “Christian” thing to do – according to their own spin.
With all the WWJD blather coming out of their mouths, I guess if Jesus were living in MV, He’d kick them out too.
I think Martha’s Vineyards’ rich residents would have kicked Jesus out. He was always for the underdog. They are rooting for the dog on top. (themselves).
My bet is that they will end up in Lowell, Lawrence or Haverhill.
Ah geez, that’s pretty cold! I wouldn’t with any of those towns on anyone, even the people who live there.
Send them to Rockport, the socialists here will welcome them by the busloads. Else, try Brookline, Newton, Wellesley, Jamaica Plain or even low brow Cambridge 🙂
For those seeking a more serene “immigration”, Georgetown, Newbury Port or even Great Barrington… you’ve got a friend!
See my comment about Northampton and Amherst above.
The difference is that LLH have always been dumping grounds for undesirable immigrants (aka Irish and French Canadian Catholics, Greeks, Italians and more recently, Cambodians).
Who could blame them? They are here illegally, wherever situated. Any community should do the same thing with the same zeal as the detestable governor of Massachusetts.
I can, they no doubt voted for the Democrats and the no border policy.
Huh. So your telling me that a Sanctuary like Martha’s Vineyard with all the millionaires and billionaires cant afford to house 50 people?
Rotten (smelling in Denmark)
They can, they just won’t.
Racists and elitists.
The vile and hypocritical Dumb-o-crat elites believe that illegal aliens should be warmly welcomed into the U.S., just so long as it’s everyone else who’s doing the welcoming and bearing the costs.
Wait ….. so 50 illegals show up in a ‘Sanctuary State’ and their response (after having the vapors) is to call up their military reserves to deal with it? The NIMBY Fascistas
Reminds me of how the liberal tolerant accepting loving Democrats of MA responded to school busing.
Whiter than white Vermont could use a few… just so they know that not everyone in America is white. There were more free blacks in Vermont during the colonial days than there are today.
By the way Massachusetts, we’ve had about 2,000,000 coming across our open borders this year, so to be democratic about it, where would you like the other 38,411?
I could be wrong, but I think that the normal year-round population of Martha’s Vineyard is about 20,000 in all the towns there. Those are the full time residents. During the high season [which just recently ended] they get about 200,000 visitors. They all stay somewheres . . . indoor
And yet, and yet . . . these compassionate Leftists cannot find [anywhere for them to shelter in, or they are just too poor to furnish it, unlike the rest of the country which has to take them in and support them forever.

So Biden’s Admin has let in some where around 5M since he has been in office (estimate including illegals not caught). He has bused and flown some to various cities and areas.
This was Biden sending illegals to Florida by plane. Then now a move by DeSantis of sending some of these illegals to the VP’s residence and to Martha’s Vineyard to open up national eyes that sanctuary cities and people responsible cannot hide from. MV got these small number quickly removed and that makes the rich area’s hypocrisy open to all that says these Dems are saying NIMBY and they are better then me, they can stop illegals coming in at will but they will not.
But they kicked them out with compassion.
They would have loved to keep them there, but there were no suitable accommodations.
They can only accommodate people with a net worth of 100 million or more. Earned in an acceptable way. Like how Grandpa Joe Kennedy did it.
Just send another 50. In fact, send 100.
A bit from a reporter on MSNBC (that’s not a typo!) said that the illegals told her they were glad that DeSantis had sent them to Martha’s Vineyard because it was a wealthy area.
That certainly counters the narrative that they were complaining about being lied to about their destination. And that hypocritical braying Donkeyette yesterday saying “….they have to go somewhere else….we have a housing crisis here”, was just way over the top. Her cup of hypocrisy turneth into an ocean overflowing….
Liberal morons insist on calling these illegal criminal entrants. ‘Migrants’ now. They are so stupid they do not realize the meaning of this latest virtue signal. A migrant or migration involves a return trip. It is seasonal. Let us assist these so called migrants on their Winter Migration South. Back to where they started from.
The soft bigotry of virtue signaling migration.
And kicking them out.
Martha’s Vineyard is home to some of the stinking-richest peeps in the world. They should build a 50,000-capacity open-air stadium to store illegals in until they can find self respecting jobs purse-snatching, pimping, and the porn industry.
