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.”

Twenty more busses full, minimum!
They need at least a thousand more “Migrants”, properly known as Illegal Alien Invaders.
TX is not running out of illegals to send.

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

It's time to bring them back. Cut the funds for those states that obstruct immigration enforcement.

Del Rio has about 35,000 residents, is very poor, and is seeing several thousand a DAY. I am heading that way tomorrow (for a project at Border Patrol checkpoint) about 45 miles away.

Most of the people who can afford Martha’ Vineyard don’t have “income”. They are all getting paid from passive investments, royalties, government pensions…

Yeah, a-hole, and the contents of my wallet are very small from TAXATION, due to all the free housing, free food stamps, free education, free voting, etc. that you give these ILLEGALS, too, but you don’t give a crap about THAT.......

Crying poor ?

Open your wallets and purses and let the moths out.

Don’t have the “ resources” ?

Buy them then , you all wealthy beyond most of America.

Pathetic.

Then send the ones illegally in the US back to Mexico or elsewhere.

That’s why there are laws that other immigrants follow, such as our long ago ancestors.

"We're just a small community, not like the greater metropolitan areas of Eagle Pass and Del Rio, Texas, who get only 7000-8000 a day." Cry me a river.

Send them MORE!

I agree...Perhaps we can issue each migrant their own tent and drop them off at a bridge.

Oh, Martha's Vineyard has plenty of resources for the illegal aliens they welcomed into the United States.

They just don't want to share those resources and expect everyone else expend theirs instead.

Let's see tents on lawns. Let's see illegal aliens put up in houses at the El Paso reimbursement rate.
