Trafficking in human lives should have consequences for its Republican perpetrators
Boston Globe ^ | 9/15/22 | Editorial Board

Posted on 09/17/2022 2:08:14 AM PDT by Libloather

Imagine being loaded onto a plane and promised what? A job? A new life? A way out of a crowded refugee camp? And then landing on an island off the coast of Massachusetts where no one was expecting you and few speak your language.

For more than 40 mostly Venezuelan refugees, including a number of children, who landed in Martha’s Vineyard midday Wednesday, this was no magical mystery tour. Some thought they were headed for Boston. Most had no idea where they were when they landed.

No wonder the incident has caught the eye of federal law enforcement.

Imagine the level of political cynicism, the level of moral depravity it takes to use real flesh and blood human beings in a national game of immigration chess.

So, come on down, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis has claimed responsibility for the stunt that sent two planes to the island - sharing video of their arrival with his propaganda machine of choice, Fox News. The governor has been threatening for months to send migrants to the island that is the summer home of former President Barack Obama, and the Florida Legislature has provided some $12 million to allow him to continue to use migrants as political pawns.

Joe Biden opened the border. Yes, the border is wide open even if VP Harris refuses to admit it. How many illegals are enough, Joe? Do you have a number, or is it your plan to let the horde continue indefinitely? You, Joe, and you alone, are responsible for saying, “when.”

Along with the illegals crossing the border in ever increasing numbers also brings the increasing amounts of drugs. How many drug overdoses and poisonings are enough, Joe? You morn the death of your son, Beau. You should. But Beau died of a disease over which he nor you had any control over. But the you do have some control over the deaths due to drugs. Now when are you going to exhibit the leadership needed to have a positive effect on this national scourge that you are choosing to ignore, Joe?

I hope they continue to spout stuff about Republican “human trafficking”.

They are too full of themselves to realize that to anyone not in the liberal choir, this is a losing proposition to them.

Someone knows where the members of the Boston Globe editorial board live.

What a charming editorial — purveyors of exploitation upset about the visibility.


Plus the person who wrote the editorial is an idiot.

Hoping to damage Abbot and DeSantis he instead reminds us that the feds have been doing exactly the same thing on a scale maybe 1,000 time greater.

And a few articles above expose that at the same time using the same process, the government is allowing children to trafficked, some intoi what amounts to slavery.

If you like open borders, you like human trafficking.

Kamala Harris, got a LOT of Pomp and Circumstance, and paraded her across front pages of the Main Stream Drive bys...and took the CHARGE and raised the banner to SECURE the border, DO SOMETHING. So it is fitting, accurate, and precise to lay all the immigrants at her door..and step on her WELCOME mat. Got to get to the ROOT of the problem she says.. and the ROOT is that she is letting them in. Simple as that.

Time to send many busloads to the Boston Globe.

Not just to the Globe. Get the names and home addresses of the editorial board, and deliver them their own personal illegals, right to their damn doorstep. Repeatedly.

How many $ billions is Biden spending to use migrants as political pawns?

It Boston a sanctuary city? How many illegal immigrants is Boston welcoming? Zero you say?

Why was Martha's Vineyard claiming it is a sanctuary city? Were they just virtue signaling like all the other Democrat run cities?

I recently read that Martha's Vineyard can accommodate six million illegal immigrants. They should welcome them all!

N.S.
This article is iconically IRONical, and I hope its NIMBY author gets not just nailed—but SPIKED—for writing it.

Sending 50 illegals to Martha’s Vineyard should have consequences, but allowing 2 MILLION illegal invaders into the country is just fine.

The Boston Globe! They’re not just hypocrites no more. Sorry BG, it’s you far lefties who are dumping the humand traffic invaders on Texas and Arizona. Accept your “fair share” and knock off all your little liberal girly whining!

Yep. The Left is doing what it does best, changing the meaning of a word or phrase to suit their narrative. Wanna bet that no Republican on the Hill dares contradict this new usage?

I think it is in the deed restrictions and covenants when you buy property in Florida. Most HOAs get very strict if you fail to accommodate illegal aliens. After all they are essential to good lawn care.

....and 10,000 to Montecito (in front of the Oprah’s mansion with a few hundred tossed on Princess Netflix Me-Again and dim bulb Harry’s digs), DC on the street where DownLowBarry, Big Mike and ValJar plot, 1,000 to Chappaqua to have drinks with Cankles, 1,000 to that sh/thole town in PA where wannabe SENATOR FESTER staggers around in, 1,000 to Boston on Liawatha’s porch where she can get ‘em all a beer, etc., etc. This is going to get very amusing.

Woketards are going nuts over this with absolutely zero mention of Biden’s secret late night flights of illegals to red areas. Screw them.
