Fighting is conceptually difficult and strategically simple. At least at a basic level. Hit back. Do to them what they’re doing to you.
Gov. Abbott in Texas, Gov. Ducey in Arizona and Gov. DeSantis in Florida are doing it. And they’re learning the old Alinsky lesson that fighting is actually fun once the other side squeals.
Sending migrants to D.C. and NYC was fun. What are you gonna do to top that?
A plane carrying approximately 48 migrants from Venezuela and Colombia landed unexpectedly at Martha’s Vineyard Airport Wednesday afternoon. Island officials and emergency management representatives were gathering to deal with the situation.
This is exactly what lefty groups were doing to direct illegal aliens around the country. Some of those non-profits were funded by the good vacationers of Martha’s Vineyard.
Sen. Julian Cyr said the plane originated in San Antonio, Tex., and appeared to be part of a larger campaign to divert migrants from border states.
Divert. They’re supposed to overrun western states. Not Martha’s Vineyard.
“Just like the reverse freedom rides in the 1960s, this endeavor is a cruel ruse that is manipulating families who are seeking a better life,” Senator Cyr said.
I’m sure they can find a good life here.
“They came with folders with a pamphlet with our information,” said Beth Folcarelli, chief executive officer of Martha’s Vineyard Community Services. “We don’t have refugee services, I had no idea about any of this. I only found out because one of them gave me their folder. Imagine being dropped in here knowing no one. Absolutely no one. It’s heartbreaking.”
Why are there no refugee services? Or affordable housing?
Just like all the suburbs that were turned into slums by federal judges, it’s time to force Martha’s Vineyard to build housing projects. And to diversify beyond the Obamas. Martha’s Vineyard needs to look like the rest of America or face $50,000 a day fines.
It’s the right side of history.

I notice the “Vineyard Gazette” refers to permanent illegal aliens as “migrants,” as though they’re there to pick grapes for a while and go home at the end of the season. As if they even have any vintages on that rock worth tasting. As if peons who used to pick coca leaves for cartels have any real job skills.
As a mediocre boy once said, “words have meaning.” (sic)

What’s heartbreaking about these folks ‘escaping’ from the racist, homophobic, exploitive, oppressive, and Neanderthal red states? Won’t they have a much “better life” in these equitable, diverse, and inclusive blue communities with their progressive policies, lavish social safety nets, and superior morality? Dems should be ecstatic to rescue these poor ‘migrants’ and take their “fair share,” of diversity, inclusion, and equity.
And Vermont certainly doesn’t “look like America.” At 95%, it’s so white, it’s defacto racist and white supremacist by dem standards. That needs to be “fixed” quickly.
I just saw where New York is now bussing illegal aliens to Florida. Talk about being cruel to the poor ‘migrants., not to mention hypocritical.
Jeff Bargholz says
Send them all to Europe or Talibanistan.
We’d still be stuck with the leftists, though. I really wish we could declare open season on them.
CowboyUp says
The taliban vs. the cartels, oh my. That would be interesting.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Great story! Thanks for covering it. Best story of the day.
glpage says
Abbot should have gone just a bit further and had limos waiting for the illegal aliens to take them to Obama’s plaave.
danknight says
Good.
Sadly they only have to deal with people trying to escape Demokkkrat like governments south of the border …
Texans still have to deal with the murderers and the rapists.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Yeah, as a joke, judges could offer convicts a choice between jail time or a luxurious transport to a wealthy Democrat enclave 🙂
Jeff Bargholz says
Six thousand illegal aliens a day cross into Texas, reportedly.
I saw a Texan rancher on TV today who said he had a bunch of Hondurans trespassing on his land the other day looking fore someplace to charge their phones and handouts. He said they weren’t interested in jobs.

” Imagine being dropped in here knowing no one. Absolutely no one. It’s heartbreaking.”
Yeah, I’m sure it is. Imagine being dropped into an enclave of hypocritical, self-righteous, narcissists who who don’t know the meaning of “empathy” and can’t be bothered to learn it.
Maybe they can put on a lobster feast to help acclimate their new neighbors. They could give free seminars on how to choose caviar, get their Sommelier Certification, or their culinary arts diploma. Isn’t it time for some diversity? How about encouraging some diversity with free scholarships to Buck and Redbone’s Hifalutin School of Wine and Dumpster Delicacies?
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, only four percent of the humanitarians who live there are non white.
Michael Mostofsky says
50 is a nice statement. It needs to be thousands. Til then its a PR stunt
Jeff Bargholz says
It was meant to show that the sanctuary city types are scummy, NIMBY hypocrites, and it worked. The fake news went full retard with this story.
Una Salus says
DeSantis apparently has not a single governor to work with in setting up state reciprocity including out obviously Abbott. So unfortunately this like the GOP will remain a stunt designed to give people something to vote for but delivering only what they didn’t.
August West says
We are better than this.
It is the arc of history!
Who was Martha and how good could the grapes be?
Poor immigrants… being forced to live in “The Vinyard”
reyol says
The Land Board has more than enough money. They’re the ones on Martha’s Vineyard who buy up land and houses to make sure only the right people move in and the wrong people move out.
