So you criticize FL for not welcoming them, but have nothing to say about Martha’s Vineyard officials saying they’re going to similarly ship them off. The swells on the vineyard don’t want them either, and they currently don’t have any. FL has plenty.

Why can’t Martha’s Vineyard ante up and accept a few??

When you advocate for open borders, this is what you’re advocating for. Illegal immigrants who need to be housed, fed, given medical attention, schools for their kids. If Mayor Lightfoot and the islanders in the Vineyard don’t want them, maybe they should stop advocating for exactly this

Classic hypocritical “I’m for this, but not in my backyard” position. Big on talk, short on actual principles.
