So the Über-Liberals of Martha’s Vineyard are getting a tiny, tiny taste of what Texas and Arizona endure every hour, of every day, for months on end, with no end in sight. What a wonderful glimpse for all the world to see: how an ultra-wealthy, sparsely populated island, in a virtual sanctuary state, handles an exceedingly thin fraction of border-crossing illegal immigrants, yearning to be free!
All those yard signs, all that virtue-signaling, and it adds up to what? Gross hypocrisy. Then the blame game starts. DeSantis and Abbott… they are simply evil men, using the poor as political pawns. How do we know? The liberal press is blasting out this message today via bullhorns.
As any thinking person knows, however, the real blame lies in Washington, DC thanks to the lax administration of Joe Biden, his lackey Kamala Harris, and the super-incompetent Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas.
More Bang for the Buck
Apparently Governor DeSantis had to pay handsomely to fly the 50 “exploited souls” to Martha’s Vineyard. However, here is a solution for sending even more, at a far lower cost per person. Buy one of the many cruise ship for sale from the cruise companies which have been hit hard over last 30 months and that now seek to reduce some of their inventory.
Personally, having cruised 39 times, and I can tell you that the these big ships can comfortably accommodate between 2500 and 4500 passengers. For a short trip up the Atlantic coast, doubling and tripling the number of people in each room, per family, would sum to nearly 10,000 on one voyage. From Texas, navigating the Gulf of Mexico, or directly from Florida, heading up the Atlantic Ocean, a ship could reach Massachusetts within three days.
During the time of the voyage, the facilities on board are excellent. There are health clubs, saunas, steam rooms, a running track, and even a swimming pool or two.
These guests of Joe Biden, transported by governors, would actually enjoy themselves on the way up, and then, by golly, be rewarded via the largesse that represents the good people of Massachusetts.
Fulfilling Sanctuary Dreams
Governor DeSantis, as well as Governor Abbott, employing cruise ships could then supply all the sanctuary cities along the Atlantic Seaboard with exactly what they’ve been begging for. After all these years, hey, why not make a wonderful delivery to Baltimore, and then Rehoboth Beach, Delaware where the Bidens frequent?
And how about 1,000s of migrants delivered to Atlantic City, New Jersey, and the Hamptons in Long Island? Don’t forget Bridgeport and New Haven, Connecticut before proceeding to Newport, Rhode Island, Nantucket, and Boston. For good measure make some deliveries to the resort towns in Maine.
What a marvel to behold, as these self-described caring destinations welcome thousands and thousands of migrants, all at once, and artfully absorb them. Sure, there will be some adjustments; such locales will have to spend big bucks for food, shelter, and clothing for these new arrivals… and then find them longer term homes and jobs. So what if local schools are not equipped with foreign language teachers and curricula so that the new children can get up to snuff? Isn’t that what sanctuary cities are all about?
Just Checking In
Let’s revisit all of these places one year later and see exactly how these welcome guests have feared. How about crime? Have they had run-ins with the law? About the schools? How public health? Let’s take a very accurate snapshot of what happens on the day they arrived, versus one year later, two years later, and three years later.
Having people dumped into your community, or your home for that matter, despite liberal virtue-signaling, represents a huge change in how you live, and how they live. It’s humanitarian to help a migrant in need. Thousands of migrants, or tens of thousands of them, all at the same time, dropped into a community is not a humanitarian gesture, it is an attack on your way of life.
As Henry Kissinger famously advised then German chancellor Angela Merkel, helping one person in dire need to come to Germany is a humanitarian gesture. Having great masses come to Germany threatens your culture.
Seems our 'elites' are white trash... horrible people.
It’s environmentally friendly! How could the liberals complain?
Pay the coyotes to ship ‘em up by the semi truck load. We need to photoshop many “Georgetown or bust” signs onto the next migrant horde heading from Honduras.
Greta should offer to lend her sailing yacht as a green option!
I would suggest a permanent cruise going back south of the US border.
Brilliant!! De Santis and Abbott should team up and buy a fleet of surplus ships to transport the slaves, er, guests.
The best option for the elites is to relocate to mexico …..
Don’t we have any LCTs in mothballs? We could land the in Cancun.
Don't buy, lease but otherwise, "YES!"
It’s all about hypocrisy.
“Seems our ‘elites’ are white trash..”
This was a God level troll by DeSantis. In one fell swoop he exposed the entire Left as the garbage they are. All it took was one plane flight and a handful of “migrants” dropped right in the heart of enemy territory.
Simply brilliant.

You're right - it was amazing.
White liberal 'elites' had those 'migrants' out and gone from Martha's Vineyard in less than 24 hours and used the national guard to do it. The elite's butt boys in the liberal press quickly ran to the defense of the powerful and started the process of grinding their boots into the faces of folks living in over-run border cities.
Camp of the Saints.
The hypocrisy of the ultra rich liberals on Martha’s Vineyard was delightful to see and even the lying state controlled media could not ignore the story. The illegals were whisked off the island like yesterday’s trash. I wouldn’t be surprised if the locals ran the beach and street cleaning machines least those nasty people befouled their island. Other than the Obama’s and Oprah are there any people of color or Latinx on the island?
It’s inhumane to send poor “immigrants” to one of the wealthiest, most beautiful spots in the country.

“...dropped into a community is not a humanitarian gesture, it is an attack on your way of life.”
I guess when the shoe is made to fit the other foot, but is done looking like the first one, it becomes a problem for the new wearer. When states like California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona were having thousands of illegals entering their domains and crime, disease, filth, misuse of tax money, and overall worthlessness became the norm, it was okay for the rich elites to sit in their gated and security protected homes miles and miles from ground zero, and say how wonderful it was that these new people could go after their dream (which they could never get) by forcing the locals to make change.
The new shoes have arrived and they don’t like them because it inconveniences them as now when they have made such an effort to not look like everyone else, they now will smell like them too. I already felt their pain in my life. Now you feel mine.
