National and local media have pointed out how the left-wing residents of Martha’s Vineyard are treating the newly arrived illegal immigrants.
As soon as the plane landed the residents, the residents put on a good front of being gracious while others began to argue about how to deal with the immigrants now in their backyard.
The media also pointedly broadcast how GOP Gov. of Florida, Ron DeSantis, transported them to Martha’s Vineyard without the immigrants’ knowledge.
Local media published an article, “Vineyard Community Rallies Relief Efforts to Assist Stranded Migrants.”
I thought Martha’s Vineyard was a “sanctuary city”?
I thought they declared themselves a “haven” for illegal immigrants??
Just 50 arrive, and the socialist billionaires send them away—to a military base, no less—in JUST 24 hours. 🤦♂️ https://t.co/3fwOghLIe2

Possibly the greatest thread in the history of Twitter.
Liberals mugged by reality… https://t.co/1Okfx0F9n5

“Ron DeSantis is sick because he’s sending people to an island paradise where they are welcomed”
“Permanent housing? I thought we were just doing a weekend camp out?”

More on this story via Western Journal:
Even with the accusations that Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott are “xenophobes” who are “using people for politics,” they still haven’t explained how it is an American duty for border states to allow themselves to be flooded with illegal aliens by the millions, but it is somehow evil and un-American for Martha’s Vineyard to deal with 50 of them.
These same leftists have also not explained how it is good policy for Obama and Biden both to ship illegals by the hundreds in midnight plane rides all across the country, but if Abbott or DeSantis do it with a few dozen illegals on a few buses, they are monsters abusing families.
The whole situation really highlights the left’s hypocrisy.
