@Copper thanks.

Send 'em to Cambridge.

Harvard would love to have them.

A school like that needs a lot of undocumenteds to handle the landscaping.

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

Big sanctuary.

One illegal stayed. The rest left.

Or, one with a leaf blower (see my post from earlier).

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’

Texas sheriff will investigate Florida flying Venezuelan migrants to Martha's Vineyard
September 19, 2022 06:05 PM

San Antonio, Texas — Authorities in Texas have opened a criminal investigation into Gov. Ron DeSantis’ operation to fly roughly 50 Venezuela migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard last week.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said in a news release Monday that his office is investigating whether the migrants were the victims of a crime.

For those of you who are against what the governors of Texas and Florida did - why are you against it?

My opinion is that the immigration issue is a national issue and not a state issue.

He has a history of investigating activities which might not criminal.

Sounds like a jurisdiction issue. What business does a Texas sheriff have investigating Florida activities?

One could say, "What business does a Florida governor have moving people out of Texas to Massachusetts?"

Well, that brings up a huge point. MV said they didn't have the facilities to house illegals.

Bullshit.

They had hundreds of empty houses.

Class action lawsuit filed by transported migrants against DeSantis and other state officials:

Gee, maybe they need to file a suit against the midnight flights of the Biden Express.

Those were certainly not voluntary.

There's actually a fair amount of poverty on The Cape - if you visit off season, it's quite surprising how poor some of it is, and there are a lot of drug problems. I guess The Vineyard might be a little different - I've never been.

I didn't read the article, but it is not coherent to speak of the immorality of extra-legal maneuvering such as Desantis', without acknowledging that the point of contention is the lack of enforcement of the laws that do exist. If an official in the government cannot trust that the laws as written will be enforced, and if they believe the lack of enforcement of those laws is immoral, then the morality of these extra-legal machinations is clear.

But it would take an open, non-tribal mind to see that.
