  1. What about the democrats letting illegal immigrants in Texas an other states trying to turn it blue. I seen lightfoot send out illegal immigrants that came to her city‼️‼️‼️

  2. No don’t make it temporary, make it permanent!

  3. Wait till they call back home and tell everyone how well they're being treated

  4. Do you think Texas and Florida are capable of handling the huge influx of migrants any better than the wealthy people of Martha's vineyard?

  5. Looks like that Martha's Vinyard resident is all tight in the face ! Hey y'all need to get busy and make those facilities bigger from what I hear there's more on the way !

  6. Bite it Chuckie and Martha vineyard

  7. Let's hear from the 1000's killed by Biden's open border policy stunt?

  8. I'm white all my grandparents immigrated here.

  9. We need our jobs in Florida we we work for less than minimum wage now doing doing odd jobs on and off all day long we don't make minimum wage here in Florida to begin with now if you give our jobs are on less than minimum wage jobs to to immigrants anymore and anymore if we keep doing this we will not be able to survive you you accept these people and let them make your ice cream let them mow your lawns let them do your driver apps let them take all your jobs and when you when you don't have a job then you can come back on and say that it's our fault when we know we all know we don't have our jobs because of this.

  10. None chose to stay because they were forcibly removed by national guard with guns.

  11. Hypocrisy on full display haha

  12. is everyone in Martha's vineyard a racist? we were they shipped off.. they have the money and means to help. . but noo they aren't welcome!

  13. US Immigration is in the federal sphere and states conspiring interfere with federal statutes are acting without standing. If DeSantis is unfamiliar with Criminal Law he should get a lawyer fast.

  14. Hypocrite. The Demoncrat using children, elderly, women to advantage their power. They the one created the illegal imigrants crissis.

  15. The illegal imigrants came from mexico and allowed into this country illegally by Biden .
    State government can not spend billions of dollar to support the Democrat failed policies.
    Martha Vinyard is care more for the illegal immigrants that Florida and Texas. Martha Vinyard should take more illegall imigrants.

  16. Did they enter United States legally is a better question?

  17. Stop saying they are immigrants. They are illegal immigrants.

  18. What a minute, it’s not immigration they are illegals , they went to the front of the line .
    Oh yeah escape Socialism, to come to Biden’s Socialism ! Liar

  19. "Stunts?" you mean the same the Biden administration has been doing? This was 50 and the amount that Biden Is dropping in red states are 50 times 50 and I wonder way that is??? That's using people as political pawns. DeSantis is just agreeing with Martha's vineyard about being a sanctuary city. He's state is over ran with the people that Biden dropped at the dead of night. Soòo he's just taking the "sanctuary cities" up on their offer. It's the definition of hypocrisy. You can't say come, come all are welcome and then the very next day say you've over stayed your welcome and if you have a brain thats still connected to reality then you will realize the same reason that the reason that Martha's vineyard is saying they take care of the "50" people is because they dont have the resources to care for them…….uh duh, thats the same thing the red states are saying because the amount of people that have been dumped, yes dumped by the biden administration is too much for the states to have the resources for, but anything against biden (orange man bad) right?? THEN, THEN, the same people want to speak ill of DeSantis but turn a blind eye to the Biden administration when doing the same thing, even worse because he thinks it will help him politically. It's getting to the point when the democrats are having to eat their own words and the reason they are throwing tantrums like kids the grocery store not getting the cereal with marshmallows because they don't like the taste when they are forced to eat their own shxt they except everyone else to eat.

  20. LET'S NOT FORGET THAT BIDEN DID THIS SAME THING 70-FOLD, LAST YEAR. WHERE'S THE BLEEDING HEARTS/ OR INVESTIGATION INTO BIDEN FOR SENDING 70 SECRET-NIGHT FLIGHTS OF MIGRANTS???

  21. Imagine if they were black

  22. Watch 2000 Mules ❤❤❤

  23. "We gave them all the Fruit Loops they needed…and then 'escorted' them to the nearest military camp."

  24. According to Air BnB when the migrants were being shipped out. Martha's Vineyard had at least 150 vacant vacation rentals. Now – 224 units. That means there were over 3x the housing units available in Martha's Vineyard residents' second homes that they weren't using and were sitting vacant, and they didn't let any of the migrants use that housing.

    Can you say Rich, White, Dem Hypocrites! I guess they've decided to changed the meaning of Sanctuary when their self proclaimed "Sanctuary city" got a few brown people in their neighborhood that weren't there to clean their houses or cut their grass than leave. Well imagine that… Lol

  25. Liberals are such a joke now. These people are so detached and pathetic. Hopefully they will be destroyed.
