About 50 migrants unexpectedly arrived by plane on Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday, local officials said, escalating a tactic in which Republican-led states have shipped busloads of migrants to liberal bastions like Washington and New York to protest the significant rise in illegal immigration under President Biden.
The migrant group, which included children, arrived on two planes around 3 p.m. without any warning, said State Senator Julian Cyr, a Massachusetts Democrat representing Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Officials and volunteers from the island’s six towns “really moved heaven and earth to essentially set up the response that we would do in the event of a hurricane,” he said.
As the migrants received Covid-19 tests, food and clothing, there was confusion on the ground about who had sent them to Martha’s Vineyard, a popular getaway for the moneyed and powerful. Migrants said they had started the day in San Antonio, but it was the Florida governor’s office that took responsibility.
Taryn M. Fenske, the communications director for Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, said the two flights were part of a state program to transport undocumented immigrants to so-called sanctuary destinations. This year the Florida Legislature set aside $12 million for the transportation program.
“States like Massachusetts, New York and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as ‘sanctuary states’ and support for the Biden administration’s open border policies,” Ms. Fenske said in a statement.....
Mr. Cyr, the Massachusetts state senator, criticized the motive behind the flights. “This is a cruel ruse that manipulates families that are seeking a better life,” he said, adding, “Our community has been targeted, clearly.”

Their whining is music to my ears.
DeSantis is the man! I wonder what his Freeper handle is?
These Guvs need to pick up the pace. 50? It should have been 500.
👍
Too bad she's probably in LA living with her Husband and is completely checked out (not that she ever checked in)
It’s a small airport.
Even better. 10 flights a day.
outstanding!!! Mooch and Barry can donate their place when they are not using it.

YES! And the Govs that especially need a swift kick in the arse to get them moving on this, are those in all the border and southern states who thus far have not done a damn thing except whine about the problem! COWARDS!
The picture shows a crowd in front of the Episcopalian Church. This has to be especially difficult for the local Episcopalian parishioners, who think globally, but act locally.
“really moved heaven and earth”
LOL sure they did, really.
Even better. 10 flights a day.

No can do, not good for the environment, too much pollution! /s Cheaper to use bullets, and a more permanent solution to the problem!
Or even when they are using it...dey love dem some migrants...

YES, beginning soon as a ship drops anchor off the coast of their mansion (the one our taxes paid for), and hundreds of illegals are shuttled to shore there. Oh, and also confirm that Mooch/Barry are THERE when the operation begins!
I’m sure the FBI will confiscate DeSantis and Abbott’s phones to see if they have colluded on this - in the DOJ’s view that would probably make it a federal crime. At a minimum, justify a search of their homes...
Big enough to handle a C-130. And I believe AF-1 has landed there. I’ve seen pics.
Martha’s Vinyard hates diversity in Martha’s Vinyard? Guess they are racist bigots.
I suggest Mt. Lebanon and Squirrel Hill, two very liberal suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pa.
In fact I can suggest my in-laws back yard. Covered with democrat campaign signs.
In Mt. Lebanon, I see many signs touting “Climate Action NOW,” right next to their great big whole-house air conditioning units.
