A homeless coordinator in Martha's Vineyard, the latest destination where migrants are being sent by Republican governors in an effort to bring attention to the southern border, said that the island doesn't have the resources to help them long-term and that they will eventually have to move 'somewhere else."
Lisa Belcastro was speaking to reporters Thursday about the community response to the newly arrived migrants.
"We don't have the services to take care of 50 immigrants, and we certainly don't have housing," she said. "We can't house everyone here that lives here and works here."
Her remarks came a day after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planes carrying 50 migrants to the island off the Massachusetts coast, known primarily as a summer vacation spot for the wealthy, which prompted an impromptu response by local leaders.

This is the perfect opportunity to address a local need with high-density affordable housing and maybe some Section 8.
Why aren’t they a sanctuary city?
How about back across the Southern Border.
1/x Kudos to @GovRonDeSantis for sending illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard.
When I proposed the same last year, the elected leadership welcomed it:
County commissioner Keith Chatinover: “I would LOVE Martha’s Vineyard to become a haven…” https://t.co/R1FyL5URCJ— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 15, 2022
2/x “…for new immigrants to this country, but Senator Cruz HAS NO IDEA what he’s talking about regarding a ‘border crisis.’…Immigrants make our country stronger (as evidenced by immigration from Brazil and other countries to the Vineyard)…”— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 15, 2022
3/x “…and he is trying to whip up racial anxieties for political gain, which is essentially the entire GOP platform anyhow.”
🚨🚨🚨 HYPOCRISY ALERT: Let’s see if the Dems in Martha’s Vineyard feel the same way after a few thousand illegal immigrants arrive on their doorstep….— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 15, 2022
I thought these corrupt fat cats loved cheap labor.
How can this be if Martha’s Vineyard is a Sanctuary State?
A comment copied from CFP===
“””Fantastic show, Tucker. Martha’s Vineyard needs to ante up – build those schools; enlarge your hospital emergency room that will be used for every illness; enlarge your police force to stop drivers who can’t read English, much less know traditional traffic laws; bring in affordable housing. Do all the things the rest of the US has to do – especially in Texas, Florida, and Arizona. Do all the things liberals believe should be done.”””

Lieberals always exempt themselves from the garbage they want to shove down everyone else’s throats.
Is she going to move them to DC?
Costa Rico?
Those properties on the shore won’t be worth a damn in 12 years when they get flooded. They should just abandon them now and let these folks live there.
NIMBY.
Surely there are spare bedrooms in those mansions.
Well just get off your lazy a$$es and make do just like the people in Florida, Arizona, and Texas have to do to support your Progressive control fetish.
There’s room for 13 families in that house.
Could Governor Greg Abbott be charged with transporting these illegal migrants across state lines?
