Democrat mayors don't want illegal migrants in their towns.

Who will be the first (media outlet, not counting me) to say the illegals might be harmed by Pave Paws radiation?

As the article says, many of them said they were going to Boston. Perhaps they should have read the flight docs and seen Martha’s Vineyard written there. I’m sure every Venezuelan campesino has heard of it.

No, the article stated several of the migrants said they were told that they could go to Boston. That’s a different thing than being told they were going to Boston. It’s a $30 bus ride from Falmouth to Boston and a $5 ferry fee…
I could easily see them being told they were going to Martha’s Vineyard, some of them asking “where is that?” and being told that it’s a little south of Boston…

The Governor gave a gift to everyone involved.
What a breath of fresh air.
He was willing to do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may.
Good for him.

Charlie Baker is Massachusetts’ Governor who, like DeSantis, is also a Republican.

Good for him. Now see him contend with the thousands sent to Florida.

Something tells me that Massachusetts will weather the storm of 50 illegal aliens.
Is Massachusetts a sanctuary state? I know Florida isn't.

Fuck this. Desantis and Abbott are doing a hell of a lot more to help these people than the administration and the good leaders of the Vineyard, Chicago, DC, and California are. Cynically fucking with the migrants? That's what the left is doing. Sweeping them under the carpet, hiding them by the thousands in cities around the United States and letting them free in communities and populace that are unaware and unprepared to assist them. All that happens then is these people drift into the shadows of society where they are prey or predators by necessity. That's fucking cruel.
Instead, Abbott and Desantis are publicly sending them to communities that very loudly and publicly said they would welcome them and provide them sanctuary. Great. Here they are. And by doing so publicly we are having this conversation. People are aware of the thousands of migrants suffering and the hundreds of communities suffering because of the failed border and immigration policies. This conversation may or may not lead to positive and lasting change, but at least we are talking about it, and that's the first step. Both sides are using these people to score political points, but at least Desantis and Abbot's approach can actually lead to people addressing the problem.

I agree with @LuFins-Dad
This has ramped up the conversation. From my view, it seems that both sides do a lot talking with bandage approach that maybe feel good for a little bit, but do little to solve the root cause of the problem

Easy to complain about situations in other areas until they effect you.

Massachusetts is not a sanctuary state, but there have been proposals for it on Beacon Hill. A sanctuary city or state is a location that limits cooperation with federal immigration laws. There are eight cities in the state that are sanctuary cities. They are Amherst, Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Concord, Newton, Northampton, and Somerville. What they do is legal, and how much they cooperate can vary from city to city.

Martha’s Vineyard is a Sanctuary “Destination” according to their borough leadership in 2018.

Blowing was involved one way or the other.

One thing that seems to be missed in the reporting, or at least the memes, is that the glitterati had left by the time he did this. What you had mostly were the year round residents who are far more ‘normal’
Only non-witches get due process.
