The tony vacation redoubt of Martha's Vineyard is freaking out over 50 illegal migrants, deposited at its door by Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis, who flew them in.
Seems the ritzy sanctuary island in the sanctuary state of Massachusetts is being forced to 'celebrate diversity' and they're not happy about it.
According to the New York Post:
The posh liberal enclave of Martha’s Vineyard has been thrown into chaos by the arrival of two planeloads of migrants sent there by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to local reports.
Roughly 50 migrants were flown to the famed Massachusetts island — constituting what the local tourism board called a “humanitarian crisis’’ Thursday.

Desantis needs to send about 10,000 more. Then they can get a taste of what its like in the border states.

Please find 50 illegal migrants who can snow ski and bus them to Aspen, Colorado, asap.

Yesterday there were nearly 30 "rentals" available on MV for terms 60 days or more, each accommodating 10 or more guests. They were listed on VRBO. Plenty of housing available - and at prices starting at $450 a night...$45 a head...no worse than a swanky San Francisco or New York City hotel. The Obamas have seven unused bedrooms at their place. The Kennedys...

The Obama's also have a 75,000 gallon propane gas tank in their yard. They can use that to help the migrants.

Liberals love illegals immigrants but only from a great distance. This is a wonderful example of liberal hypocrisy put on display by Governor De Santis.

I'm old enough to remember a slogan before the advent of civil rights in the 60s I assume it had been around probably since the civil war era. "the southern hates the race and loves the individual, the northern loves the race and hates the individual".

Just like those windmills that weren't going to be allowed where Ted Kennedy sails. They need to somewhere else... where the peasants live. Aparently all of their leaf blower, lawn mowing, and house cleaning illegal immigrant jobs are already taken.

Fifty isn’t nearly enough. 5,000 sounds a little better.

I heard that the Governor of MA has mobilized 100 members of National Guard to MV? Do they have the infrastructure for 100 more?

Obama has a 30 acre estate alone. He could let them camp out at his place. That works out to about .6 acres per person.
Didn't Obama start pushing low income housing in the suburbs?

I heard from a reliable podcaster this morning that the "migrants" chose to go to the Vineyard. Apparently they are not bussed and flown to cities or towns indiscriminately. I'm hoping that more will choose to go to reserved places (reserved by the elites) like this.

During tourist season the island population swells to 200,000, so I don’t see what the “crisis” could be other than racism and elitism.

I cannot get enough of this story. I really can’t. I’ve been smiling like a lunatic for two days.
It should be a Bravo reality series.

The MV folks thought they were hidden away from the common folk but alas they showed up on their doorstep. Hummm.

Well, of course they are, because for the woketard left, the purpose of open borders is to inundate Red states like Texas and Florida with unskilled, uneducated invaders who upon being granted amnesty and citizenship will gratefully vote Democrat, flipping the Red states to Blue. Having them relocated to areas such as the hoity-toity Martha's Vineyard which are already deep Blue defeats the purpose.How dare Abbott and DeSantis screw with the plan!

I think you're high by about a factor of 30 or so, #4. Massive exaggeration isn't a good way to 'debate'.

Those rich snobbish citizens of MV were probably saying to themselves that the illegal alien rabble should be in places like El Paso, Del Rio and Laredo and not in their posh backyards. Too bad.
