The 50 new arrivals on Martha’s Vineyard are being deported to the Joint Base Cape Cod located on mainland Massachusetts.
Busses arrived in Edgartown, Mass., Friday morning to ship out the 50 illegal migrants who arrived at the New England destination at Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday night courtesy of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
According to the Vineyard Gazette, the mostly Venezuelan migrants will be bussed to a ferry that will take them to a military base on Cape Cod. Republican Gov. Charlie Baker announced the activation of up to 125 members of the state National Guard to coordinate relief efforts for what local residents declared a “humanitarian crisis.”
“We are grateful to the providers, volunteers and local officials that stepped up on Martha’s Vineyard over the past few days to provide immediate services to these individuals,” Baker said in a Friday press release. “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.”
Lisa Belcastro, a local resident who manages the shelter at the island’s St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church where migrants slept for their two-night stay, said Thursday the migrants would have to move on because the wealthy island was full.
“We certainly don’t have housing, we’re in a housing crisis as we are on this island,” Belcastro said. “We don’t have housing for 50 more people.”
Federalist Editor Elle Purnell, however, outlined a dozen “stunning” vacation homes available to house the few dozen arrivals who inaugurated diversity on the majority-white island. While options run between $1,600 to $20,000 a night, New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams plans to spend up to $300 million to house the more than 6,000 migrants who’ve arrived in the Big Apple courtesy of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over the next year. Poor Texas border towns, meanwhile, routinely see more than 7,000 new migrant arrivals on a daily basis.
“Residents of Martha’s Vineyard overwhelmingly support illegal immigration and call for more diversity,” wrote DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw on Twitter. “Governor DeSantis was kind enough to grant their wishes.”
The 50 new arrivals on Martha’s Vineyard, however, are now being deported to the Joint Base Cape Cod located on the mainland.
Reaction to the Florida governor’s introduction of diversity to the wealthy white liberal enclave featured left-wing policymakers who accused DeSantis of “trafficking.”
Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Nikki Fried, who lost the Democrat gubernatorial primary this summer, published a press release demanding the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigate Gov. DeSantis.
“However you may feel about our immigration situation, transporting 50 migrants across the country to a small town without notice shows a complete disregard for human life, and very well may be illegal,” Fried said.
The statement came despite state lawmakers approving $12 million to combat “illegal human trafficking” and “facilitate the transport of unauthorized aliens out of Florida.”
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also accused DeSantis of culpability in “literally human trafficking” on MSNBC.
President Joe Biden, on the other hand, faced no such charges of human trafficking over secret flights of illegal underage migrants in the middle of the night uncovered by the New York Post. In the meantime, Biden’s open border policies, which continue to flood communities with illegal migrants, foster a severe humanitarian crisis complete with an actual human trafficking industry.
“And Jasper, run a bath for me. I feel just so, so unclean, after all those foreigners were running about.” (Shudders)
That border wall just might be looking a lot better to them these days.

50 fit in Chez. Obama
Congrats to the Federalist for not calling these illegal criminal aliens “migrants.” Just remember what they really are.
Of course! Martha’s Vineyard doesn’t want people of color.
Look at their schools:
- only 0.6% black.
- they bused these kids out of their school district because of their **race**.
- they vote ~90% Democrat...
Martha’s Vineyard Democrats are thinking “Segregation FOREVER!!
Just like the 1960s. Except now, no one cares about the kids.
They are being called trash! NBC news is reporting that! Holy wow!
You can’t waste these moments. I’m waiting for Oprah to hire them for lawn work, cleaning, cooking....
Bullshit!! I'm sure if nobama decided to throw an overnight shindig at his MV mansion for 100 people accommodations would be made.
Pleaseeeeeeeeee!🙏🏻Send more!!!
Do it again and again and again!
No place for them??? HAHAAH....In the summer their population goes to thousands so who’s living in those places now!
They simply didn’t want “those kind” of people in their community and everyone knows this.
The Patriot Party (I refuse to acknowledge the Republicans) needs to force this down the throats of all voters to show what a LIE Demoncrats and the Haughty “Team Mitch” loving GOPeahens, live.
I guess there was no room at the Vin.
These hypocrites dumped the 50–FIFTY!!— illegals after just two nights, but expect border towns and states to deal with tens and hundreds of thousands of them 24/7/365 without complaint.
Up theirs.
Is there open land on Martha’s Vineyard? If so, a consortium of Red States can buy the land, then buy a bunch of the beached shipping containers. Section 8 housing on a short timeline!
“The horror! Call the National Guard to remove them! Fast before one of them pees on the shrubbery!”
So basically the illegals were kidnapped from their luxurious destination, thrown in busses and shipped to a detention camp on a military base.
“50 fit in Chez. Obama”
70,000 population off-season...200,000 summer.
Seems like the FIFTY ILLEGALS could have found space on the island.
Wish the victims of MV violence would have sat down and linked arms.
