3 Planeloads of Migrants Arrive at Martha's Vineyard Airport - 1 from San Antonio, 2 from Florida

Planeload of Venezuelan Migrants Arrives at Martha's Vineyard Airport

[Vinyard Gazette] A plane carrying approximately 48 migrants from Venezuela and Colombia landed unexpectedly at Martha’s Vineyard Airport Wednesday afternoon. Island officials and emergency management representatives were gathering to deal with the situation.

"We’re immigrants," said Eliase, who said he was from Venezuela. "We came here because of the situation in our country, for the economy, for work, for lots of things. I came here walking. We went through 10 different countries until we got to Texas. There a refugee association put us in a plane and told us there would be work and housing here. I feel good, despite everything. We spent four days in Texas so it’s good to be here."

Sen. Julian Cyr said the plane originated in San Antonio, Tex.,
...the largest majority-Hispanic city in America, with a twice re-elected Progressive-Independent mayor, so it’s interesting that they, too, are gleefully forwarding these people to smugly self-righteous, Democrat destinations further on...
and appeared to be part of a larger campaign to divert migrants from border states.

"Just like the reverse freedom rides in the 1960s, this endeavor is a cruel ruse that is manipulating families who are seeking a better life," Senator Cyr said. "No one should be capitalizing on the difficult circumstances that these families are in and contorting that for the purposes of a "gotcha" moment."

The passengers were taken to Martha's Vineyard Community Services before being relocated to the cafeteria at Martha's Vineyard Regional High School, where they were given water bottles and fruit cups. Children were playing with chalk on the sidewalk outside.

[FoxNews] Florida governor sends migrants to Martha's Vineyard as part of program 'to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations'

A video provided to Fox News Digital shows the migrants deboarding the planes at Martha’s Vineyard Airport in Massachusetts.

"Yes, Florida can confirm the two planes with illegal immigrants that arrived in Martha’s Vineyard today were part of the state’s relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations," the governor’s communications director, Taryn Fenske, told Fox News Digital.

"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," she said.

"As you may know, in this past legislative session the Florida legislature appropriated $12 million to implement a program to facilitate the transport of illegal immigrants from this state consistent with federal law," she added.

The office of Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker responded to an after-hours email from Fox News Digital, saying it was aware of the situation and that the arrivals were provided short-term shelter.

"The Baker-Polito Administration is in touch with local officials regarding the arrival of migrants in Martha’s Vineyard," Terry MacCormack, Baker's press secretary, wrote. "At this time, short-term shelter services are being provided by local officials, and the Administration will continue to support those efforts."

Fox News Digital reported in April that Florida’s budget since approved by the state legislature included $12 million for the Florida Department of Transportation to remove illegal immigrants from the state and relocate them.

Martha's Vineyard is famously known as a playground of rich progressives, including former President Barack Obama, who bought a multimillion-dollar house there in 2019.

DeSantis, a Republican, proposed Delaware or Martha’s Vineyard as a destination for such migrants, but his office explained at the time that they could also be sent "to other 'progressive' states whose governors endorse blatant violations of federal immigration law."

"It is not the responsibility of Floridians to subsidize aliens to reside in our state unlawfully; we did not consent to Biden’s open-borders agenda," the governor’s office said at the time.

In November, DeSantis said dozens of migrant flights landed in Florida at the behest of the Biden administration, and he threatened at that time to send them to Delaware on buses.

Meanwhile, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, began sending thousands of illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C., in April as the migrant crisis overwhelmed border states. In August, buses from Texas started heading to New York City and Chicago. Arizona has also sent buses to Washington.

Oh
oh oh oh oh

Understand why I've been finding the anti-Christian stuff today.

OK, NPC update was this morning for the noon 'News' releases.

Favorite went something like,
Christians don't believe science in science books
Christians don't believe history in history books
Its no wonder they don't practice what they read in The Bible

Before anyone gets all pissy about this lame meme of attack, the left can't meme. They mean the Heinz 57 genders of I fucking Love Science! Covid experts, their History begins two years ago, but The Bible, know it back and forth and because History is 2 years old forget their Fred Phelps Literally Follows the Bible stuff.

That's the line? These people walked out of abject poverty a quarter of the Western Continents and when they arrive in Texas, it is absolutely inhuman to put them on a bus and send them to the most affluent places on Earth. That is some Chewbacca Defense.

Tards.
