Border Town Puts Up 'Martha's Vineyard' Sign In Hopes Government Will Come Pick Up All Their Illegal Immigrants

DEL RIO, TX — Impressed by the efficiency of Martha's Vineyard in expelling their migrants in less than 48 hours, several border towns in Texas have begun adopting best practices from the affluent Massachusetts island. One prominent change that Del Rio has already made is replacing their "Welcome To Del Rio" sign with a "Welcome To Martha's Vineyard" sign so that migrants will know that there are not enough resources, they are not wanted, and they need to leave immediately.

"We've never seen anything like it – the Martha's Vineyard team had the migrants gone in 48 hours flat! We haven't ever been able to put up numbers like that, so we're taking a page out of their playbook." Del Rio resident Dee Porter spoke to reporters about the "Unwelcome Committee" that the town has formed to study the methods used at Martha's Vineyard for migrant removal.

While Del Rio's new Unwelcome Committee has implemented some more creative methods for making the migrants feel unwelcome, they confirmed that adding the "Welcome to Martha's Vineyard" sign was priority number one, since Martha's Vineyard was the original inspiration for forming the committee and remains the "gold standard" for speedy migrant removal. Del Rio has already started playing the song "Closing Time" on the town's PA system as well and placed orders for flashing neon signs that say "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here" in the "arrivals" section of the airport.

Other border towns have taken similar approaches, with Rio Grande City also taking a page out of the Martha's Vineyard playbook by calling in the national guard to remove the migrants. The national guard responded in record time when they saw the "Welcome to Martha's Vineyard" sign and thought that a Democratic vacation town was being inundated rather than "the usual flyover state that can probably handle it anyway."

At publishing time, the Justice Department has launched an investigation of the border towns that have begun using the methods that Martha's Vineyard used to remove their migrants since those methods are only supposed to be for rich white Democratic strongholds.

Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, NY City, Washington DC, Maryland...

all places that the GOP governors are delivering the illegal aliens to.

So, the answer to that problem might just be a czar....

like a czar by the name of Kamala Harris...

whose duties would be to investigate the ‘root causes’ of why aliens are showing up at the blue cities that declared themselves as ‘sanctuary’ cities and states.

Kamala did such a great job at investigation the root causes for why the illegals were leaving their home countries and coming across the border to the U.S. We need her again to investigate the root causes for why the GOP governors are delivering those same aliens to the blue sanctuaries.

I dunno. Del Rio has been so “enriched” that it must be rolling in dough by now...

The date on the sign is 1602. That predates Plymouth Rock and Jamestown, and the other Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts.

As with the areas in NY where the leftist zillionaires live, Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, et al, Martha’s is infested with filthy , stinking rich, White / jewish leftists, who wail and point the finger, and J’ACCUSE the Republicans and MORers, of being racist and not caring , about poor black and brown immigrants, DEMANDING that White Working and Middle Class areas take in all such immigrants, but become the very racists they claim they’re not, when the same immigrants show up at THEIR doors and backyards!!!!

EVERY PLAGUE UPON ALL SUCH HOUSES OF UNDESERVEDLY WEALTHY LEFTISTS, for as long as your ilk live in them!!!!

From http://history.vineyard.net/hfnorton/history.htm :

“The next explorer, and the first one to leave any account of the island, was Bartholomew Gosnold, of Falmouth, England. In 1602 he sailed for Virginia. Contrary winds drove him to the Azores; thence he sailed a little north of west, and struck out boldly across the Atlantic. He was the first Englishman to sail directly to the American coast, thereby saving nearly a thousand miles in distance and at least a week in sailing time. He landed on a cape which he named Cape Cod from the abundance of codfish found there. Then doubling the cape and sailing to the southward he landed on a small island about six miles southeast of Gay Head. He called this small island Martha’s Vineyard. The next day he landed on the larger island. After exploring it and finding it so large, well wooded, and with such luxuriant grape vines, many beautiful lakes, and springs of the purest water, he transferred the name and called it Martha’s Vineyard, in honor of his mother whose name was Martha. The other island he named No-Man’s-Land.”

Gee, John Cabot planted flags along the east coast much earlier, but I don’t see any places claiming “Established 1497” or whatever.
