The difference in Florida’s reaction to people fleeing a socialist government in 1959-66 to people fleeing a socialist government in 2022 is startling. The first group got welcomed with open arms while second has been demeaned and trafficked against their will and knowledge.

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.

You’re claiming DeSantis has principles, MAGA Christians like you cheer on the cruelty and hate of Ron DeSantis.

Thankfully, most Christians believe in the actual teachings of Jesus Christ: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Matthew 25:35.

1. DeSantis hired a woman named Perla to prowl the streets of San Antonio in Texas, lure migrants onto a plane under false pretenses of a trip to Boston and expedited work visas, and then dropped them in Martha’s Vineyard
2. The Venezuelan migrants that Ron DeSantis sent to Martha’s Vineyard were NOT here illegally. They were asylum seekers who fled the socialist Maduro regime, and have legitimate claims for asylum. Exploiting these vulnerable people for a political stunt is cruel and despicable.
3. Isn't it odd how all the talk is about borders in Texas and Arizona, but not California or New Mexico?
4. I love people acting like Massachusetts doesn't have one of the highest rates of non-native born residents in the US- higher than everywhere in the south except TX and FL. People are acting like no one is MA has ever seen an immigrant before and won't be able to cope...
5. The MAGA disinformation machine is cranking post and media segments that white liberals on Martha’s Vineyard are panicking and upset and in crisis mode. They have to feel that Desantis owns the libs. It’s largely based on a 30 second clip from one woman, but that’s all they need.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
