15 Sep 20220 On Thursday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA) reacted to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard by stating that Martha’s Vineyard is “very small” and so there are “absolutely no resources to deal with this.”
Keating said, “That’s part of the cynical nature of this. Martha’s Vineyard is a very small populated island. People commute from the land just to work there because there’s no housing. So, there’s absolutely no resources to deal with this. But fortunately, religious community members and local officials and now state officials are springing into action to deal with it. So, there was no ability to do it here. This wouldn’t have been a destination simply to move them from one state to another. This was clearly just to attract political attention with an island that is known, in the summertime, for its wealthy visitors. But I’ve got to tell you this, that it backfired on him with the response of local officials.”

It’s a rich island. There is plenty of money to handle whatever they get.
Rich hypocrites.
Lots of towns are very small. What’s your point?
Is Martha’s Vineyard a “sanctuary city,” or isn’t it?
This just means they need at least 10,000 more “migrants” delivered and pronto
“WE STAND WITH IMMIGRANTS! UNLESS THEY COME HERE. THEN, NOT SO MUCH.”
Perhaps some of those rich democrats should pay higher taxes to support the policies that they voted for.
Send them MORE!
Time for each libtard to take in about 10 each and show the world how it’s done.
You could probably stuff a few more in if they would go the extra distance and give up their master suites
Boo hoo hoo.
Boo hoo hoo.
Liberals today are obnoxious.
It’s boo-hoo time for the phony bleeding hearts.
Ummm .... DUHH?
Don’t forget their “guest houses.”
(Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA))
As long as it’s someone else’s problem, he doesn’t care.
So are all the little towns you leftists are DUMPING them through your ‘church-affiliated’ NGOs. What you want is the invaders spread out so far, so fast, so deeply we’ll never get them out. Take care of it MV - or you can just suck it....
Yes
This just keeps getting better.
So is El Paso.
The median home sale price on Martha’s Vineyard jumped from $875,000 in 2019, the previous Island record, to $1,035,000 in 2020 — an 18 percent increase.Sep 2, 2020.
Sounds like they have the resources.
