The move by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to send the planeload of unauthorized immigrants, mostly from Venezuela, to the island on Wednesday came as a surprise in the affluent community - where prominent liberals such as the Obamas, Oprah Winfrey and Larry David all have homes.
But supporters of DeSantis pointed out that for years, many homes and businesses on the island have displayed a sign with various inclusive messages, including ‘we stand with immigrants’ and ‘all are welcome here.’
‘I wonder how quickly those ‘All are welcome here’ signs disappeared from the various Martha’s Vineyard properties?’ one Twitter user joked.
Officials on Martha’s Vineyard have slammed the airlift as a ‘cruel and inhumane’ stunt that uses human beings as ‘political pawns’ — but insist that they are welcoming the migrant group with open arms.
‘This is a community rallying to support immigrants children and families. It is the best of America,’ tweeted state Rep. Dylan Fernandes on Thursday morning.
Following their arrival on Wednesday, the migrants stayed overnight at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Edgartown, which provided emergency shelter by clearing out the parish hall and setting up cots.
On Thursday morning, they enjoyed a breakfast of cereal and milk on the
The small downtown parish is located on a quiet tree-lined street and nestled between multi-million homes, with one five-bedroom house next door currently listed for sale at $3.95 million, and another sold last year for $4.6 million.
St. Andrew’s is also just over three miles away from the Obama family’s $11.75 million vacation compound, which is situated on the coastal outskirts of Edgartown.
Martha’s Vineyard residents and local officials have been quick to voice outrage at DeSantis and other GOP governors for their migrant transplant programs, with Fernandes calling the move ‘evil and inhumane’.
‘Republicans who call themselves Christians have been plotting for some time to use human lives - men, women, and children - as a political pawns,’ he said in a tweet.
‘They look at us as rich, liberal enclaves,’ said the Democrat, whose district includes all of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, in remarks to the Boston Globe.
You are a rich liberal enclave — and as far as using people as pawns, well, you people started it by inviting and dumping the wetbacks in conservatives neighborhoods and states under cover of darkness.
You are simply being repaid in kind.
(Personally I think it is hilarious.)
Total total hypocrisy. Lolol.
Excellent then I figure they can use 10,000 more. Paging Texas you have a new target.
Fly in another 20 planes full. Or 50.
Well, that's because y'all are rich, liberal enclaves. So enjoy the fruits of your labor, and act your compassion!
Who the heck is Larry David?
“‘They look at us as rich, liberal enclaves,’ said the Democrat..”
Well, they are. Now make them choke on their phony compassion.
