Now residents demand immigrants be removed to somewhere else
Amid the new war that has broken out just this week over Joe Biden's decision when he took office to trash all of President Trump's border security measures like Remain-in-Mexico and the border wall construction, an interesting detail has emerged.
Martha's Vineyard, that expensive locale where houses cost upward of a million dollars and residents are wealthy enough to fund them, reacted with demands that 50 illegal aliens delivered to that location by a program set up by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to have other parts of the U.S. share the burden of millions of illegals arriving annually, that they leave.
Immediately.
Buses were summoned and within a few hours, they were taken away.
But a report from Fox News points out that only a year ago, Keith Chastinover, a progressive county commissioner for Dukes County, where Martha's Vineyard is located, said the highly exclusive area should be a haven for illegals.
In fact, he said he would "love" to see that happen.
"I would love Martha’s Vineyard to become a haven for new immigrants to this country, but Senator Cruz has no idea what he’s talking about regarding a 'border crisis,'" Chatinover said at the time.
He was expressing his own liberal spin while responding to Cruz' push for a bill that would make Democrat-led areas like Martha's Vineyard ports of entry to processing migrants.
When those few dozen immigrants actually arrived, state Rep. Dylan Fernandes, a Democrat, claimed the move was "incredibly inhumane."
He, like other Democrats there, insisted that the migrants would need to be moved to an "off-Island location."

Liberals hate being laughed at, almost as much as they hate having to admit they were wrong about literally anything.
Liberals NEVER admit when they’re wrong. Never.
Great comparison! Hope you’re right!
Bttt
That was when the only illegal aliens there were gardeners and maids.
8000 illegals coming across the border everyday and they cannot take 50?
Shame on those racists.
“List the names of some of the most prominent people living there.”
Obama and Kerry...
Off the top of your head(s), give a few others. No TV here, so I’m not a “prominent people” wonk. A quote from the article’s comment section:
The ELITES on Martha’s Vineyard have spoken: The illegals must go.
And so someone came and took them away”.
