Massachusetts called in the National Guard on Friday to deal with the “humanitarian crisis” that locals claim was set off by just 50 migrants being flown to Martha’s Vineyard by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — before the deep-blue state shifted the new arrivals to Cape Cod.
Three buses rolled up to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Edgartown to take the mostly Venezuelan migrants on the first leg of their journey from the elite island of multimillion-dollar mansions — including a seven-bedroom home owned by former President Barack Obama — to Joint Base Cape Cod on the mainland.
The National Guard members will supplement work already underway by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, Gov. Charlie Baker’s office said in a statement.
“Our Administration has been working across state government to develop a plan to ensure these individuals will have access to the services they need going forward, and Joint Base Cape Cod is well equipped to serve these needs,” the governor said.
Baker added that the state emergency agency “is coordinating efforts among state and local officials to ensure access to food, shelter and essential services for these men, women and children.”
It’s unclear what duties would be performed by the National Guard members.
Baker said removing the migrants to Cape Cod was necessary because “the island communities are not equipped to provide sustainable accommodation, and state officials developed a plan to deliver a comprehensive humanitarian response.”

“Migrants” are supposed to go to where the “little people” live.
Lefty NIMBYs move quickly when it’s their rice bowl.
Wow! Can’t imagine a better gotcha than this. Simply wonderful.
Remember, folks: tiny Texas towns smaller than the 2am crowd in a Nashville Walmart are supposed to handle 35 million illegals every 10 minutes, but sanctuary city New York, loses its collective mind over 1 bus load.
Lol. Hypocrisy much.
This needs to be published far and wide.
And thanks for the reminder. It’s something to use against liberals/leftists/democrats.
Rich people find immigrants icky. Something had to be done.
Rarely does real life offer such breathtakingly stark examples of hypocrisy. It’s incredible. Over used word, but nothing else fits.
Baker is a republican.
Except the NG assisted the illegals in relocating to Mass proper, not back to Venezuela
That’s the strange paradox as there are a lot of rich liberals in Manhattan and they are OK with the illegals that have been staying in fancy hotels there for years now, and causing a bunch of crime. Don’t they feel threatened by that illegal underclass?
Turn Martha’s Vineyard into one massive deportation hub. They know how to take out the trash.
There are plenty of illegals on Martha’s Vineyard - the ones who came quietly and work under the table and find their own housing.
What MV did not want were the ones who came with trumpet fanfare and media attention such that MV residents would be expected to care for, house, and feed under penalties of shame.
For sure. They were brought in to ASSIST the illegals in staying - not leaving.
BIG difference.
Good reminder of RAT insanity.
