Dem Rep. Keating: Martha’s Vineyard Is ‘Very Small’ and Doesn’t Have Resources
Breitbart ^ | 09/15/2022 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 09/15/2022 1:44:28 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

15 Sep 20220 On Thursday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA) reacted to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard by stating that Martha’s Vineyard is “very small” and so there are “absolutely no resources to deal with this.”

Keating said, “That’s part of the cynical nature of this. Martha’s Vineyard is a very small populated island. People commute from the land just to work there because there’s no housing. So, there’s absolutely no resources to deal with this. But fortunately, religious community members and local officials and now state officials are springing into action to deal with it. So, there was no ability to do it here. This wouldn’t have been a destination simply to move them from one state to another. This was clearly just to attract political attention with an island that is known, in the summertime, for its wealthy visitors. But I’ve got to tell you this, that it backfired on him with the response of local officials.”

We have immigration laws for reason. The problem has been with enforcement once people sneak into the country. It’s like a football defense with everyone up on the line of scrimmage, and once there’s a hole in the line, the runner can’t be stopped before scoring. We need immigration enforcement nation wide. Hell, I’d even support check points to check for illegals. If they can do sobriety check points, why not immigration check points until these millions of illegals get deported?

Median income of Martha’s Vineyard: $77,370

Median income of the United States: $31,133

Source US Census Bureau.

So you’re telling us the rest of the United States just has to make do even though your people earn almost 2.5 times as much money?

Really?

Texas very big and has resources for citizens

BTW- Usual elect bill 250 for summer. 720 this year. They tried to say it was bc of hot summer. Ya 4 def above normal for a couple of weeks

During the infamous ice storm we had single digit temps for four days. No electricity for four days. We have gas FP- I’d never not have FP.
No electric 4 days

They refunded me $9. Nine dollars. No electric for 4 days

No way 4 degrees above avg for a week increases electric by $500

If it was me, I’d fill up every northbound AMTRAK train with them and just start offloading when you see places like DC, CN, NY, et al..... Send them by the thousands every day.

They won’t stop this invasion until they have to deal with the increased load on their resources, taxes, drugs, crime and disease FIRST HAND.....

The summertime visitors are clearing out. You can house the immigrants where they used to stay since that's your prescription for the rest of the country.

Maybe the year-round residents can get their lawns maintained cheap as a bonus.

The whole thing really is a brilliant move, from every angle.

We used to have USBP immigration checkpoints all over the place. The government abandoned them.

Manicured lawns are great for tents and the surrounding shrubs for defecating.

No resources?

The combined income/wealth of residents there probably exceeds that of many medium sized American cities…maybe even some large ones.

I’ll just bet it did. But it likely didn’t backfire on Ron DeSantis in Texas or in the rest of the nation. I’m willing to bet that a lot of really deplorable people are getting a big chuckle out of this and wanting to see more.

I hear that Rehoboth Beach is really a lovely place in the late summer/early fall.
