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

Late in December, the enemy returned with an even more powerful armada. Attack after attack was mounted against the heroic defenders.
All Marine planes were shot down, casualties mounted, the situation was becoming desperate. However, communications were still maintained with Pearl Harbor. A relief expedition was mounted but the remnants of the Navy were so pitifully weak that the mission was canceled at the last minute.
Finally, Pearl Harbor queried Wake “Is there anything that we can provide?”
In one of the last messages from the doomed island came back:
“Send us more Japs!”
This is the right approach.

Martha’s Vineyard:

They were deported to a military base on Cape Cod.
Nice welcome
Of course the thing that would really make them feel at home would be a trip to Venezuela

Oh, the hardships of being stranded in Martha’s Vineyard.

What’s funny about it, I mean in particular?
While I understand the point of the political gesture, and I personally would support rejiggering our immigration priorities towards economic contributors, I can’t imagine looking at this and not seeing it as cynically fucking with very vulnerable people and treating them as pawns in a fight they don’t have a dog in.

Her feigned righteous indignation caught my funny bone.

The image of them luring the migrants to the plane… “We have a surprise for you! Just come to the plane!” Struck me as darkly humorous. I sincerely doubt that it happened like the lady said, but whatever… That’s the same way they’ve been lured to the US to begin with…
All of this NIMBY panicked handwringing is hilarious.

A person can make a compelling case that dropping unsuspecting migrants off in places like Chicago or San Francisco is cruel, but Martha’s Vineyard? Isn’t it more humane to send migrants to well-heeled communities than to allow them to live in “squalor” in makeshift tent cities under highway overpasses? Because I rarely hear the left worry about the latter.
Then again, why has a story about 50 migrants spending a couple of days on Martha’s Vineyard garnered far more coverage and outrage from the media and left punditry than 51 migrants being cooked alive in a tractor-trailer only last month?
Why is it barely news that officials dumped 1,000 migrants into the streets of El Paso to fend for themselves the very same day those 50 people arrived in beautiful Martha’s Vineyard? Is it humane that some Texas cities see 200,000 newcomers every month or that places like Del Rio, Texas, with a population of nearly 35,000, are forced to house nearly 50,000 newcomers in “squalid conditions” when pristine sanctuary cities are asked to do nothing?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Odd. El Paso is a border town. Actually it and Ciudad Juarez are basically one conurbation. What does it even mean that the feds are “dumping” them there? They probably walk out of the processing center with their own two feet.
Seems a bit different than flying them to Martha’s Vineyard under false pretenses as an explicitly political gesture.

Let’s also not forget that Martha’s Vineyard declared as a Sanctuary Destination during the Trump years. They promised safe housing and employment opportunities to any migrants that arrived on their island. If the people in Florida told them they would have housing and jobs in the Vineyard when they arrived, it’s only because that is what the island promised. So who was cruelly lying again?

White Plains is not a border town
And neither is Cherry Hill - at least it wasn't 5 months ago.
Or Scranton, or Allentown.. And some of the planes landed in Jacksonville, FL.

Whose false pretenses? The Vineyard promised migrants sanctuary including housing and employment opportunity. Florida gave them the opportunity to honor their pledge and now the Vineyard is backtracking? Where’s the lie, Jon?

Dumping?
They're crossing the border illegally. What would that get you in most countries? They certainly wouldn't just open the door of the Border Patrol building and tell everybody to have a nice day as they shuffled out.

To say that an illegal immigrant didn't pick a fight is absurd. But beyond that, do you understand how leftist immigration policies 'cynically fuck' citizens who pay the price for illegal immigration?

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.
