Illegal immigrants who were flown in unannounced to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday are now being moved to a military base in Cape Cod.
The 50 migrants have been put on buses by Gov. Charlie Baker to travel the 32 miles to Joint Base in Cape Cod (JBCC) just 48 hours after they landed in the billionaire’s enclave.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew in the immigrants from Venezuela on Wednesday, sparking a widespread cry of outrage from the liberal leaders of the small island in Massachusetts.
It was declared a humanitarian emergency, with the island leaders responding in the same way as a hurricane.

Hold on. I thought involuntarily shipping 'immigrants' was a crime? Also, I thought everyone is welcome in a sanctuary state? Virtue signaling unmasked!

A “humanitarian crisis” on an island that manages to accommodate 183,000 more people each summer than is their normal population. This is racism, pure and simple.
And what is more inhumane, DeSantis asking illegals if they would like to get on a plane to a resort island or using the National Guard to drag those same people off the island and onto a military base?

Small island?
Martha's Vineyard has over 56,000 acres. The average American suburb has about 10 persons per acre - - so the "small" island could have a population of 560,000 - - and still look like a nice suburban town.
The current population is about 10,000 - - so there's plenty of room for 550,000 "migrants." Bring them in!

Idea for a new law: any city or state that declares itself a sanctuary city/state, must take in a certain percentage of illegal immigrants from the border towns. Make it federal, that way all must comply.

Wait! I thought Martha’s Vineyard was an island? But, the governor put them on buses? Is he going to drown them?

Gov Desantis, pls continue your excellent policy of relocating illegals to those areas that greatly support the Presidents policy of open borders. If nothing else, it shows what hypocrites they are. Where's their virtue signaling now? Pls send at least 5 full busloads every day for a couple of months to Marthas Vineyard to give them just a small taste of what the border states are enduring.

It's time to start the "Mariel boat lift" operation -- empty the Florida prisons into New England. It seems that's what the libs are all about. Just tell the freedmen not to show their face in any Red State or they will go right back behind bars.

Was it voluntary? I doubt it.

They are being sent to a military base? I thought that using the military to control illegal immigrants was, ILLEGAL! Also, it is the off season in Martha's Vineyard. There should be plenty of empty hotel and B&B beds available for the illegals to stay in.

Leftists are saying the relocating of the illegals is cruel and inhumane so how is this any different?

Martha's Vineyard shows it's true colors: black lies and yellow-bellied cowardice. Did anyone expect otherwise?

I fervently applaud Governors DeSantis & Abbot for taking action & the optics are FABULOUS!!!
Problem is, they are transporting the illegal immigrants further into America, cementing the fact they are our problem, our responsibility when they are not!
So I respectfully ask these governors if they are going to spend their taxpayers money on transporting them anyway, PLEASE SEND THEM HOME!!!!!

Now we know the Biden DOD is complicit with the Biden DHS, the Biden HHS and others of the phony administration in the invasion of illegals across our southern border. Preserve, protect and defend is just a meaningless phrase in the oath taken by our military. Virtue signaling at its worst.

Maybe send them 50 homeless people next. Each will arrive with a tent, shopping cart, 2 bags of dirty clothes, and a dog with mange.

These 50 illegals went to "sanctuary city" Martha’s Vineyard voluntarily. Just 48 hours after they landed, the 50 migrants have been put on buses by Gov. Charlie Baker to travel the 32 miles to Joint Base in Cape Cod (JBCC).

It seems rather obvious that Muffy and her friends don’t like people who don’t look like them.
