Martha’s Vineyard Guests And Residents React To Migrants Brief Visit To The Island (VIDEO)

There were mixed reactions to the handling of the migrants that arrived and then quickly departed the island.

To the chagrin of Democrats, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis successfully pulled off a “political stunt” to draw attention to the border crisis that the Regime Media refuses to acknowledge.

In sending 4 dozen migrants to one of the wealthiest zip codes in the United States that also declared itself to be a “Sanctuary” jurisdiction, it exposed the hypocrisy of the virtue-signaling leftists who don’t think that literally millions of asylum seekers bypassing border crossings to enter the country illegally is a problem… as long as they stay in those border states.

The migrants were in Martha’s Vineyard for fewer than two days and the “No One Is Illegal” crowd swiftly called in the National Guard and shipped them off the island. Deporting them, if you will.

A video from Fox News Digital shows a few Martha’s Vineyard residents and guests reacting to the brief “enriching” visit by the migrants who apparently left an “indelible mark” after just 44 hours.

The reactions were mixed. Some thought it was a great way to draw attention to the issue, others were defensive about “what they did” for those migrants.

Paul S.: “Like any problem, if you want to fix a problem, make it visible. I think it was made visible.”

Jeff C.: “No, we didn’t get rid of [the asylum seekers], we took care of them. I think ‘get rid of them’ is a little harsh and I think that people came forward and did the best they could to help them out.”

Z: “[Martha’s Vineyard] isn’t the best place for them to start fresh ’cause there’s no place to live here — there’s like… housing is bad.”

Jeff R.: “If they’re here initially, and we can help them, then by all means. We certainly can’t stretch our services, but we’ll do the best that we can, that’s what we do as a community.”

The number of illegal border crossers is staggeringly high with over 4,000,000 entering the country since Biden took office.

While one Martha’s Vineyard resident says that border towns have large facilities to house migrants, no country could handle 8,000 people arriving a day no matter what infrastructure was in place. It’s just not possible to absorb that many people with housing, education, healthcare, and policing.

Border states are expected to absorb literally millions of people but 48 strained the resources of a self-declared “Sanctuary” jurisdiction.

It was just a year ago that thousands of Haitian migrants were setting up camp under the international bridge in Del Rio, Texas.

One year ago. A reminder of what a real humanitarian crisis looked like in this small border town of 30,000. https://t.co/4mqSokIHAX

The Regime Media didn’t cover that as thoroughly as the 48 Venezuelans in Martha’s Vineyard because one was a “humanitarian crisis” and the other was apparently not. Democrats and Republicans will probably differ on which was which.

Videos of the migrants leaving the island and heading to a military base on Cape Cod were shared on social media and it’s not exactly the message that Democrats think it is.

HAPPENING NOW: Migrants, flown into Martha’s Vineyard by Fl’s governor, are boarding buses. They’ll be heading to Joint Base Cape Cod, according to officials. 125 Mass National Guard members are being activated to assist. @NBCNews pic.twitter.com/RLwxNPu8GM

Miami Herald, as part of their years-long struggle session against Governor DeSantis, shared this video of Martha's Vineyard residents cheering as illegal immigrants are transported to a military facility.

Didn't make the point the Herald had hoped for.pic.twitter.com/KiMpo2nRjQ

Rich white people cheering as the brown people board a bus to leave isn’t a good look for the predominantly Biden-voting demographic, but the Regime Media will continue to try to spin it.

Perfect outcome for the residents. Inconvenienced for 44 hours, called in military to remove the unwanted brown people, get called heroes by the media. That pot-luck dinner certainly paid dividends.https://t.co/wORyTluBYa

The problem always seems to come down to the biased, disingenuous media that is actively cheering for one side and hellbent on destroying the other.

Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.

Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.

This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
