Bowser didn’t have a problem with the bus loads of BLM rioters who came to town to loot and burn.

The idea is to put the media spotlight on the arrival of illegals. No point sending them in at night,

Not for nothing, recall that Obama opened the border. That’s a big reason why Trump got elected. Obama began the night flights that redistributed the illegal aliens. Obama set up the network of government paid NGOs that provide taxpayer funded support to the mass of illegal aliens. The nice thing about the uncaught border crossers is that they already have a job and don’t need welfare.

I used to vacation on Martha’s Vineyard during the Reagan era. The natives weren’t snotty a-holes back then.

DeSantis took the Vineyard denizens at their word and helped some poor immigrants to achieve the blessing of residence in a community of love and acceptance.
Not a single immigrant was offered housing, employment, or an invitation to visit a local mansion.
Not one was provided the chance to share the luxury of the virtuous wealthy.
Thousands of luxury hotel accommodations remained empty that could have housed these struggling dreamers.
Not one was permitted to sit at a fine dining table and savor the delights of wealth and comfort.
They were ever so gently locked up in a nearby military camp and will be sent packing back to Venezuela.
Do it again Governor.

In a book written about the Indian Wars by an army lieutenant, he was talking about how sympathetic people in the east were to the Indians, when he observed that the further away they were from the situation, the more sympathetic they were. Just human nature.

When things fit it’s worth repeating.

The Babylon Bee was on the case with a story explaining, “Migrants Decline Newsom’s Offer Of Asylum In CA Since They Just Came From A Collapsing Communist Hellhole With No Electricity.”

Obama made one call and they were gone in 24 hours.

And there it is in a nutshell.

Did you expect anything else from rich, #woke elitists? This is the truth of liberalism.

I’ll bet Abbott is seething about all the attention DeSantis is getting off this. Abbott has been doing busses for a little while now, but it would appear that by the time the busses get to their ultimate destination, most of the illegal invaders have jumped ship, so they have a lot less impact. Put them on a plane and they can only debark in flight with a parachute. (At this point, I’m not opposed at early ejection from the planes of any male of military age.Women and children should be flown to Argentina)

Martha’s Vineyard Resident Calls Police To Report A Hispanic In The Neighborhood Not Operating A Leaf Blower, Sep 15, 2022 · BabylonBee.com

MARTHA’S VINEYARD, MA — Residents of upscale Martha’s Vineyard are in a panic after several buses dropped off illegal immigrants from Florida this week. One terrified resident reportedly called the authorities after seeing Hispanic males outside her home, not even operating a leaf blower or any other kind of gardening equipment.

“Hello, is this 911? Yes, there are brown-looking Latinx people outside my 20,000-square-foot seaside home, and they aren’t even carrying leaf blowers,” said a terrified Mavis McWhite to the dispatcher. “They aren’t even holding so much as a rake. They’re up to no good. I’m scared! Please send help!”

Early reports from one of the wealthiest zip codes on earth indicate that approximately 50 people from countries south of the equator are striking fear in the hearts of local oligarchs, movie stars, and millionaire politicians who reside there. “It was so inconsiderate for DeSantis to ship these dark-skinned people up to our neighborhood without the tools they need to maintain our multimillion-dollar properties,” said Town Councilmember Pam Karen-Cindy. “What else are they going to do all day? Just despicable.”

At publishing time, the Hispanic immigrants who currently work as landscapers and house servants in Martha’s Vineyard for minimum wage had organized a demonstration to protest the arrival of new Hispanic immigrants who will work for even cheaper.

JeanLM :"With the next load send them with tents and sleeping bags. Thwy can sleep on the beach."

I believe that the beaches are probably regulated to no over night camping.
I had a cousin who worked as a bartender in MV, and made outrageously good money.
However, the overnight hotel/motel accommodations were so very expensive, that he paid to camp out in someone's back yard.
While he made good money, he said his expenses for food and shelter made the experience 'a bust',
and he had very little savings from that experience.
He said he would never go back, or do it again - too expensive !

Another destination could be to send a bunch to Colorado where they are giving $12,000 to each and every homeless person. These people surely qualify.
