I mean, the locals there set up a bunch of donations and now they're being housed at Cape Cod (the same place was used in previous disaster situations so it's a decent setup for people).

Probably better than whatever they were dealing with in Texas.

 Martha’s Vineyard ships them to Cape Cod and it’s good job Martha’s Vineyard. There’s no silver lining that you can’t invent out of thin air.

Dude, this right wing fantasy that this ridiculous political stunt somehow "owned the libs" is mastur-ba-tory nonsense.

The people of Martha's Vineyard mobilized to help, donated goods and services (DeSantis might not want to use Florida tax dollars to fly Texas migrants to a place full of lawyers..), welcomed them to Catholic mass, then the state set up a place for them in a disaster relief center which happens to be at Cape Code.

I'm sure there's lots of circle jerking in right wing twitterstan but in the real world this is a clownish move that makes Abbott and DeSantis look like real Ds.

So despite the fact the island is 55% rental the 50 illegal aliens being shipped off the island has nothing to do with the fact the island is populated by the most wealthiest, whitest, and liberal individuals on the east coast running face first into their ideals. 

👌

Send more since they handle it so much better than Texas. The illegals seem to like it there.

It’s wrong for Florida and other southern states to ship 50 illegals off to another state. 
 

It’s great that Matha’s Vineyard shipped 50 illegals to another location. 
 

/liberal stupidity. 

One local resident even urged former President Barack Obama to offer up his $12 million Vineyard vacation manse for shelter, according to the New York Post. 

But none of those vacation homeowners apparently stepped up to offer shelter to the unexpected visitors.  

 

Shocking.

"trash"

It absolutely owned them, thats why they're so mad about it (and you too)

It's f'ing hilarious. Oh does Martha's Vineyard want some more?  Send another busload, hell send 100 buses

Please entertain me with your definition.

Let me see if I have this correct.

Migrants flee a communist country (Venezuela) and seek asylum in America.

GOP brain trust DeSantis and Abbott cook up this scheme where they lie to migrants seeking asylum about why they're being moved, some of whom have hearings in Texas in the coming days and weeks, and then spend $615k of taxpayer dollars to move 50 from Texas through Florida (not a border state last I checked) to drop them in Cape Cod for a political stunt.

So already here we have a state government spending over $12k per migrant for nothing more than a political stunt.

These migrants are dropped at Cape Cod with nothing more than maps of the area. Locals are baffled, and when they start to understand what happened what do they do? They spend the next few days hosting the migrants, supplying them from local donations, with the local high schools AP Spanish class volunteering to help even:

The state - which has a Republican governor btw - arranges for the migrants to be moved to Cape Cod Joint Military Base, which serves as a disaster relief center and is the most appropriate to safely house 50 migrants.

 

And this .... is owning the libs?

Yeah ok.

The right is broken. And anybody cheering this or who thinks somehow it's anything more than a pathetic desperate attempt for DeSantis to remain relevant, is an idiot and a clown. 

What it is, is sad. Massachusetts opened its doors and has been welcoming to these migrants, but in right-wing MEMEistan you'd think they closed up shop to let them die in the streets. You know why? Because that's what these right-wing lunatics like to imagine they'd do. Casual cruelty in their minds is a balm and corrective measure that would somehow suppress the flow of migrants, and they NEED to believe the outcome of this stunt was that the left "suddenly realized" border state problems.

Pure unadulterated fantasy designed to appeal to mouth breathers and useful idiots, so congrats on being that I guess.

If DeSantis and Abbott had any desire to actually solve immigration problems (spoiler: they don't; they're dogs that already caught one car [overturning Roe] and are paying a political price), they'd be appealing to other states for help directly and working with the federal government more earnestly about immigration reform. Instead they WANT the problem to fester because in the world of politics that gives them an endless source of political fool's gold to mine, so they can toss shiny nuggets to their base.

Nobody is "angry" that Massachusetts handled this situation very well. People are angry because a couple of carnival barking governor's decided it was a good idea to use these migrants as political pawns, not caring about the casual cruelty of the move, and on top of that is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to find it. And that you rubes look at this and think "I want to see more of that from my elected officials"

Idiocracy.

You idiots really think this was some kind of "own the libs" moment? 

Pathetic. 

After the past two years, can't say I'm surprised at all over how everyone lined up on this one. Simple minded folks once again failing to read beyond the headlines, or worse, being duped by Fox News that conveniently leaves out the deception perpetrated on these people by two Republican governors looking to score political points and garner publicity.

Despite the White House fury that GOP governors face for sending migrants to sanctuary cities, El Paso's Democrat-led city government has been doing the same for weeks -- and is asking for the Biden administration to pay for it.

Led by Mayor Oscar Leeser, a Democrat, the Texas border city has dispatched at least 28 charter buses filled with migrants to New York City since August 23, at a cost of more than $600,000, KFOX-TV reported this week.

Rich fantasy life you have.

As I stated before, these so-called sanctuary cities that are clearly not political-stunts and genuinely care so much for the well being of all immigrants regardless of their pasts should be providing the transportation to their cities and providing and caring for their needs and well being.

It's always better to claim to care about something and let other people deal with it.

Well if they are willing to pay for it, let them. If someone randomly just started paying my mortgage I wouldn't stop them.

I'm sure it won't be long until having someone else pay your mortgage is a "human right."
