he liberal enclave of Martha’s Vineyard was thrown into chaos by the arrival of two planeloads of migrants sent to the Massachusetts island by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to local reports.

Members of the West Tisbury Select Board were told about the unexpected development during a Wednesday night meeting at which Town Administrator Jennifer Rand said she’d been receiving “furious texts” from residents, the MV Times reported.

“I’m a little unclear about the situation, as is everybody, because everybody is scrambling a bit,” Rand said.

Rand said about 50 migrants were heading to the St. Andrews Church in Edgartown and might be given short-term housing at the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society’s “Ag Hall.”

But that won’t work for long because it doesn’t have beds or showers, she said, adding that feeding the migrants could be difficult because the Martha’s Vineyard Red Cross was “not participating” in the official response.

Great comment in the comments section which says:
“the kennedys(sic) and obama (sic) families stated :
we haven’t seen this many servants since we threw our last party”

Dems are trying to flip the script...

Their assertion is it’s wrong and hateful to send illegals to the sanctuary cities and liberal enclaves who say they must be welcomed in the U.S. and taken care of so they have to deflect attention away from their hollow virtue signaling while they put them back on buses and send them to Republican areas as Lightfoot did.

“Thrown into chaos”?!?

NYPO always has lots of great photos.

Surely there are many photos of the chaos, yes?

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Fox News that “I doubt they’ll embrace” the migrants on Martha’s Vineyard.

“You know, these are all sanctuary cities until they’re in their sanctuary,” he said Wednesday night on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

Hmm... "said Lt. Olivarez. “Here at the southern border, we’ve been seeing 7,000 to 8,000 immigrants coming across every single day, and that’s overwhelming the limited resources of these smaller border communities such as Eagle Pass and Del Rio.”

And for a community as wealthy as Martha's Vineyard 50 is a "crisis"?

It is OK when we do it to you, but not OK when you do it to us.
