The New Neo Posted on by

(1) Anyone can make an error, but I think the most interesting thing about this one is that she appears to be reading all these names and titles. I would think a presidential press secretary would know them all by heart, including the name of the actual governor of Texas:

(2) The Vineyard is a lovely place in the summer. In the winter, not so much. But cruel Governor DeSantis doesn’t care:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hit back at critics of his plan to transport illegal immigrants entering the state, saying that blue “sanctuary cities” are now being forced to observe the ramifications of a weak border.

DeSantis made the remarks Thursday after Democrats called the transportation of migrants a political stunt.

“We take what’s happening at the southern border very seriously, unlike some,” DeSantis said in a Thursday speech, “and unlike the president of the United States, who has refused to lift a finger to secure that border.”…

DeSantis followed through on his promise to drop off illegal immigrants in progressive states, sending two planes full of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday.

All those declarations about being “sanctuary” states or cities was just so much empty virtue signaling, with very little thought that there was any risk involved. Now governors like Abbott (not Cruz, but Abbott – see #1 above) and DeSantis are following Alinsky’s rules for radicals numbers 4, 5, and 6:

4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”

(3) Sweden moves to the right, as its prime minister resigns after a coalition of four parties on the right win a very narrow majority in parliament.

Reuters is already at work calling the winners white supremacists:

The election marks a watershed in Swedish politics with the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, a party with roots in the white supremacist fringe, on the threshold of gaining influence over government policy…

The success of the party, which took over from Kristersson’s Moderates as the country’s second biggest, has raised fears that Sweden’s tolerant and inclusive politics are a thing of the past.

However, their mantra that Sweden’s ills – particularly gang crime – are a result of decades of overgenerous immigration policies have hit home with many voters.

Gee, I wonder why. Can it be that people who want an end to crime are all racists?

More:

Kristersson said he would build a government “for all of Sweden and all citizens”.

Doesn’t sound so white supremacist to me.

Also:

The Sweden Democrats aim to make Sweden the European Union’s toughest on immigration policy including legislation making it possible to deny people seeking asylum based on religious or LGBTQ grounds.

The party wants to slash economic benefits for immigrants and give more powers to police, including zones in troubled areas allowing searches without concrete suspicion of a crime.

I’d like to see further details on the actual proposals, instead of the Reuters summary, before I make a judgment about that.

(4) Half of San Franciscans surveyed say they have been robbed within the last five years.

(5) The Durham investigation is probably history. I gave up on it a long long time ago. My guess is that you did, too.

  1. On the topic of the utterly clueless KJP, the less said the better, while, on the topic of Sweden (likely of little interest to most Americans), one might have cautious grounds for a modest amount of optimism, although the damage done to the fabric of Swedish society by decade after decade with massive numbers of mostly unassimilable immigrants allowed in and showered with benefits (the great majority emanating from sub-Saharan African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian regions where the traditional attitude towards women is hardly what any “progressive” would deem “enlightened”) may well be irreversible, the resulting problem with chaos and disorder hardly being limited to criminal gangs but also to alarmingly high levels of assault and rape and violence against young women, with native “feminists” largely reluctant to speak honestly for fear of being called “racist” or “xenophobic”.

  2. Jean-Pierre isn’t up to the job. She should be moved to a less visible spot.

    I’ll wait and see how this goes for Sweden. It should be at least some improvement.

  3. From the Babylon Bee: “MARTHA’S VINEYARD, MA — Residents of upscale Martha’s Vineyard are in a panic after several buses dropped off illegal immigrants from Florida this week. One terrified resident reportedly called the authorities after seeing Hispanic males outside her home, not even operating a leaf blower or any other kind of gardening equipment. . . . Early reports from one of the wealthiest zip codes on earth indicate that approximately 50 people from countries south of the equator are striking fear in the hearts of local oligarchs, movie stars, and millionaire politicians who reside there. ‘It was so inconsiderate for DeSantis to ship these dark-skinned people up to our neighborhood without the tools they need to maintain our multimillion-dollar properties,’ said Town Councilmember Pam Karen-Cindy. ‘What else are they going to do all day? Just despicable.'”

  4. 3) the swedish media, have gone full insurrection, one of the series was translated ‘blue eyes’ after breivik, they had a certain narrative,

    now some writers like jens lepidus, because they work in the nordic overworld,
    show the dark underbelly where russians arabs and serbs do the dirty business,

    5) perhaps but i wouldnt trust any of the recipients of the muh russia fraud at a corporate outfit, to tell me so, and that is true for the Times as well as CNN*
    *marshall cohen and evan perez are the five timers club,
    they repeated danchenko and sussman’s rimes without question**

    yes i’m going with a definite coleridge riff,

  5. Biden, Harris and K J-P… the current administration’s ‘A’ Team.

    Virtue signalers: give it to them good and hard.

    Malmo, Sweden has long been Europe’s rape capital.

    “2030 – That’s When We Take Over” a popular t-shirt slogan worn by young Muslim men.

    Not all but probably most robbed San Franciscans simply reaped what they sowed.

    The Durham investigation: little ado about much.

  6. Re (2): These governors are thinking too small. Sending 50 illegals to Martha’s Vineyard is puny. A typical school bus holds over 50 people which comes to 1,000 illegals in 20 buses. I propose that the governors of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona send at least 100 busses to Soldiers Field in Cambridge MA for the annual Harvard Yale game. I’m sure the illegals would love it and would be welcomed by the fans. Given that the net wealth of the alumni in the stands would be well over $1 billion, I’m sure that there would be no problem setting up a fund for the children of the undocumented, or to hire Maria and Jose to come home and work for a family, incluiding a place to live and full benefits of course.

    In addition, I would also send twenty buses to the Harvard Law School where they invented Critical Race Theory. It would be a wonderful chance to put the faculties’ ideas to work by housing the undocumented oppressed brown people in the building, with benefits as well as food and clothing. Since a law professor makes $1 million a year to teach one course, it would be no problem to fund this.

  9. Paul in Boston–

    The two planeloads of migrants sent to Martha’s Vineyard by Ron DeSantis may not seem like much, but they’re having a major impact on the privileged residents. The town administrator said “. . . ‘about 50 migrants were headed to the St. Andrews Church in Edgartown and might be given short-term housing at the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society’s ‘Ag Hall.’ But that won’t work for long because it doesn’t have beds or showers, she said, adding that feeding the migrants could be difficult, too, because the Martha’s Vineyard Red Cross was ‘not participating’ in the official response. . . . Eric, from Tisbury, called on Gov. Charlie Baker to ‘open up barracks’ on nearby Cape Cod to house the migrants while the state figures out what to do. ‘We do not have enough housing for the people living here,’ Eric said.”

    More details at the link: https://nypost.com/2022/09/15/marthas-vineyard-in-chaos-after-desantis-ships-migrants-to-liberal-enclave/

  10. why cape cod, take them into your own homes, show the hospitality you are so famous for, sarc, they want massachussetts to be a total sanctuary state, well maybe not so much anymore,

  13. I would also send twenty buses to the Harvard Law School

    VDH recently noted that University enrollment is done and school dormitories have empty rooms. I say, just start shipping them to the various Universities that teach CRT. After all, while we have to pay for the $10,000 that former students won’t pay; the Universities got that $10,000 from the start. Perhaps they can pay to house these immigrants.

  15. The “shipping migrants” thing is absolutely fascinating because, perhaps because the numbers are fairly small, I don’t get the sense the general population in Martha’s Vineyard, etc. are all that enraged. But some of the public officials in these areas and the liberal commentariat in general just lost their cotton pickin’ minds over this.

    The media and political elites and their hangers on appear to have degenerated so much mentally and emotionally that any time they are surprised, they default to vicious hysteria.

    Mike

  17. Next destination, Rehobath Beach, DE.

    Or Rehoboth Mass. A lovely semi-rural area that I used to bicycle through. But yeah, the Biden connection is in Delaware.

    Tucker’s opening monologue about immigrants in Martha’s Vineyard was one of his best. Quite a bit of verbatim hypocrisy and analysis mixed with satire until the last minute when he drops the satire.

    (3) Maybe this has something to do with the dozens of Yugoslavian made hand grenades that have been thrown and detonated in Sweden in the last 10 or 20 years.

  18. One might look at it that way the balkan wars were ruinous to sweden for a whole host of reasons

  19. This is how to handle the border invasion; welcome them and then send them on to every sanctuary city, county and state.

    Don’t arrest them, instead flood the urban enclaves with the illegals.

    Harvard-Yale game, Kentucky Derby, anywhere and everywhere the liberal elite gather.

  20. The people of Martha’s Vineyard are missing a great opportunity to show us how to compassionately care for the migrant population. Obama should graciously volunteer to let all 50 migrants stay in his mansion (he can temporarily move to one of his other houses), while the shiny new Barack and Michelle Obama Migrant Welcome Center is constructed on property donated by all the generous and kind millionaires who call Martha’s Vineyard home for part of the year. Martha’s Vineyard is more than four times larger than Manhattan, so they should not have any problems handling a migrant population at least 1,000 times greater than the current 50 seeking a place to stay.

    They can show us all how to build a green, sustainable community where everyone is welcome and nobody is turned aside because of petty concerns about the ability to pay.

  22. Commenters and hosts at Powerline are in fine form.

  23. @ MBunge > “The “shipping migrants” thing is absolutely fascinating because, perhaps because the numbers are fairly small,”

    I would like to see Fox News run one of those counting chyrons (you know: Covid deaths under Trump’s watch; casualties in the Iraq War; etc — the kind that only run when Republicans are president) which would show two numbers:
    (1) illegal aliens apprehended, or at least waved at as they cross the border;
    (2) illegal aliens distributed to sanctuary cities and states.

    The contrast in the numbers would be mind boggling.
    Commenters at Powerline do the math (you can’t access them through links, unfortunately).

    Migrants In the Vineyard [Updated] | Power Line:
    buzzsaw > 11,500,000 illegal immigrants in the country; 338,000,000 people in the country; 3.4% of the population is here illegally.
    Martha’s Vineyard population is 17,265; Doing the math…their fair share of the illegal population is: 587.4 illegal immigrants.
    send more planes

    & others note that 11.5M is a very old number —

    Wesley > It was 20M in 2000. And you have to count the 500K who overstay their visas, every year. There are more than 40M illegals in Country. That will be 60-70M by 2024.

    Citizen Kane > The impact of 50 illegals on MV is nothing, less than 2% of the total population of the island. Dallas County, Texas has a population of 2.7 million with an illegal population estimated at 500,000. That’s almost 20%. Dallas County taxpayers are getting crushed with social services for these illegals – hospitals, medical, housing, food, schools.
    I have no sympathy for “sanctuary cities and sanctuary states”. Send more to MV.

    W w Morrison > That’s been a problem in the DFW area for 50 years. My parents, who lived in suburban Ft. Worth, were burglarized of every lawn and yard tool they had. Police told them that gangs of illegals were ‘shopping’ for things they needed to do lawn work. Dallas, being more liberal, is probably even worse off.

    PoeBoy > Always remember our (TX) previous Senator Kay who fought for funding for Parkland Hospital: Each year about 16,000 babies are born at Parkland. The hospital estimates about 70 percent of them are delivered by undocumented mothers.. from NBC news

    Wesley > It reminds me of the Vatican. The Pope says everyone should welcome refugees, while claiming twenty is all they can handle.

  24. Rounding off the rounding up of illegal alien stories, a Twitter essay by Doc Zero.

    https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1570396083175686145.html

    It’s a pity we have to drop busloads of illegals into the backyards of bubbled elites to get them to give a damn about the border crisis they created – but that’s absolutely where we are. Decades of appealing to their sense of duty to the American people sure as hell didn’t work.

    For decades, the open-borders scam artists have acted like there is zero cost to dismantling border security, therefore anyone who objects to their policies must be an unthinking racist. They could not admit there was any downside to mass migration.

    …

    Lefty media works tirelessly to conceal the human cost of illegal immigration. Reporters throw themselves on stories of illegal alien crime like soldiers in a WW2 movie throwing themselves on live hand grenades. Only fringe lunatics care about even the most heinous murders!

    All of this silly B.S. was possible because the costs of migration were dumped on border states the Left hates anyway. The elites were protected from all consequences. Most of the country was kept in the dark. Open borders HAS to look like a no-brainer, so nobody THINKS about it.

    The ideology behind open borders goes far beyond the crass alliance between lefties who want to replace U.S. voters and business that want cheap labor. They also hate American sovereignty, and above all, they despise the idea that elite rulers have a duty to the people.

    …

    Citizenship itself is a limit to the power of the elites, an obstacle to their ambitions. Citizenship places responsibilities on both the citizens AND their representatives. The proletariat cannot be allowed to invoke those responsibilities by demanding border security.

    If we concede the American people have a right to decide how many people cross their borders, and what conditions they must meet – as soon as we accept that citizens are allowed to reject the burdens of mass migration without being “racists” – the power dynamic changes.

    There aren’t many issues where the position of the American people diverges so sharply from the elite as illegal immigration – and yet, the will of the vast majority has been ignored and subverted for decades. No matter what you demand or who you vote for, the border stays open.

    That’s one reason the political class went bananas over building a border wall, why they dropped every bomb in their rhetorical inventory on it. Walls are physical reality. They can’t be subverted as easily. They’re more than just the elite pretending to care about security.

    All of this open-borders lunacy depends on the vital fiction that there are no reasonable objections to it. Zero cost, nothing but dreamers and “undocumented Americans.” No real value to citizenship, no nation worth defending, no duties the State must fulfill to legal citizens.

    So yes, it looks like the only way to bring attention to these issues was dumping a tiny fraction of illegals – 15 minutes worth of border crossings on a slow day – into the laps of Democrat elites. It turns out it was much more than a stunt – it was a revelation.

    And along the way, we’re forcing Dem potentates to admit their corrupt, incompetent, degenerate one-party regimes are absolutely incapable of handling a fraction of the costs that “red” border states deal with every damn day. /end

    The phrase “[policy X] depends on the vital fiction that there are no reasonable objections to it. Zero cost” applies to just about the entire Democrat program / agenda.
    They only look at benefits, never deficits, and justify their actions by ignoring anything that contradicts their narrative.

  25. @ Neo “(5) The Durham investigation is probably history. I gave up on it a long long time ago. My guess is that you did, too.”

    J. E. Dyer hasn’t given up quite yet. She recognizes some of the problems mentioned in the CNN story (remarkably fair and balanced, maybe the new CEO really is making a difference!), but suggests that Durham is doing the best he can in the situation where he knows that he is never going to get the indictments and convictions that would be forth-coming if we weren’t now officially a socialist banana republic.
    Excuse me, banana “democracy.”
    https://theoptimisticconservative.wordpress.com/2022/09/13/two-pings-on-the-new-speaking-durham-filing-in-the-danchenko-case/

    On 2 September 2022, Special Counsel John Durham entered a motion under seal in the federal case against Igor Danchenko – source for the Steele dossier – for making false statements to the FBI.

    The motion, regarding admissibility of evidence, was filed under seal because it contained classified information. The motion was unsealed 13 September with redactions in the Exhibits. Margot Cleveland previewed earlier at The Federalist the presumption that if the motion were unsealed, we’d be able to discern the direction Durham is going to take the case.

    In her view, especially based on Danchenko’s response to the new Durham filing, Durham will have to expose the Deep State’s operations if he wants to keep the case going.
    This is the legal case Durham is making: the case for why his evidence about Danchenko’s false statements and general truthfulness should be admissible.

    But if we listen with our ears, what we hear, in the new motion, is an awful big honking lot about Dolan.

    And what we end up thinking is, “Man, this Dolan guy knew a lot.”

    I can’t help hearing another “speaking” filing by Durham here.
    …
    The new Durham filing has the subtextual effect of leaving a “Dolan, Dolan, Dolan!” echo, and conveying elliptically but unmistakably that the FBI wasn’t doing its job.

    I don’t think Durham is unaware of that.

    Durham’s wording is straightforward and correct, for the legal case he’s making about relevance and admissibility of evidence. But we know too much about the real history of Russiagate to think the FBI was stumbling along naively groping for clues to a puzzle it didn’t know how to solve. It’s been clear since the summer of 2017 that Crossfire Hurricane wasn’t an investigation at all. It was an anti-Trump operation.

    That, of course, is what Cleveland means by commenting that Durham will have to fish or cut bait: expose the Deep State, including the complicity of the FBI and DOJ, or lose another case (i.e., like the one against Michael Sussmann).

    More on that point after the second impression. Which is that outing the FBI is one thing. But it matters that it’s Dolan at the center of the go-no go dilemma on the outing.

    Because Dolan is Deep Clinton.

    The post is long on details, and concludes:

    You do have to have the ears to hear it with. If you want to, you can confine yourself to hearing only an inexplicable amount of detail in Durham’s filings, and an earnest failure to grapple with the implications of those details. But it remains possible that Durham understands this: the system he’s working in is stacked against useful convictions. The long game is to do his best to get convictions, but also get information out to those who can actually use it. The latter would be a Republican majority in the next Congress, and ideally the one after that as well.

    The courts aren’t going to adjudicate Spygate for us. They aren’t going to fix that problem. They can’t fix it. That’s partly because they’ll be subject to all the same problems we’ve seen several times now with partisan juries and unduly-influenced judges. But it’s also because this is too big for the courts and points of law. The courts can’t tear the corrupt system down and rebuild it – and that’s what we need. Only Congress can do that.

    Good luck with that, since many members of Congress, and their staffs, are highly complicit with the DOJ / FBI corruption.

    Additionally, this is not a new speculation, but it’s laid out well.

    On p. 3 of the Durham motion, we learn this: “In March 2017, the FBI signed the defendant [Danchenko] up as a paid confidential human source of the FBI. The FBI terminated its source relationship with the defendant in October 2020.”

    This brief mention in the filing has been all over right-wing media in the last few hours. It’s been interpreted – at least on the Hannity show – as meaning that Danchenko was being paid to spy on Trump from 2017 to 2020.

    I really don’t think the FBI was that stupid. The FBI knew in January 2017 (if not before) that Danchenko’s contributions to the Steele dossier were a load of nonsense, and that Danchenko wouldn’t be a reliable, competent source of human intelligence on Trump and his associates.

    I interpret the little bomblet about Danchenko differently. As a confidential human source (CHS), Danchenko’s name and connections to the FBI were redactable from anything DOJ found it more convenient to keep them out of. Paying Danchenko could have been a way to ensure his silence, and perhaps compensate restrictions on what other activities Danchenko could engage in.

    If the FBI didn’t want Danchenko’s story coming out while controversy raged over the Carter Page FISA applications and the Steele dossier, making him a CHS was a good way to put an information “wall” around him.
    …
    Ponder these facts, which would have been well known in full to at least some at DOJ and FBI, and see if they aren’t convincing as reasons to fence Danchenko off from untimely access, by making him a CHS in March 2017. He could be protected behind a code word as an “intelligence source or method” and not even Congress would have the standing to demand to know who he was.

    Much of what Durham does makes sense when seen in its larger context, and considered in terms of what its goal could be. I don’t have a made-up mind on what his endgame is. But fearlessness, in implicitly exposing clues about corruption at DOJ and FBI, lives loud in his court filings.

    But most Democrats will never see the clues, won’t follow or understand them if they did, and won’t do anything about them anyway.
    However, maybe his findings will make their way into some history books somewhere.

  26. I haven’t given up on him…
    …even if Durham succeeds in HIGHLIGHTING the SHEER HYPOCRISY (and CRIMINALITY), it’ll be worth something.
    (And one hopes he’ll achieve far more than that. A few successful indictments would certainly be nice….)

  27. I enjoy the Scandinavian cop shows, but when the villains aren’t rich, titled Swedish Nazi industrialists, they are usually Eastern Europeans. There is usually a token Muslim on the police squad; the real baddies are Russians, Poles, or from the Balkans. Designated villains. I notice that this is changing as the shows are moving away from tired organized crime plots towards cold case stories, where even native born Swedes can be the culprits. Still, though, they shy away from negative portrayals of non-European immigrants.

    According to the radio, Gavin Newsom wants DeSantis and Abbott imprisoned for kidnapping. When did imprisoning opponents become the go-to move for supporters of the regime?

  29. “…kidnapping…”

    That Gov. Newsom is so…cute!—if a tad too unwholesome!
    (No doubt that’s why soooo many Californians have been moving to Texas and Florida…and other—mostly red—bastions of relative sanity….)
    – – – – – – – –
    Aaaaand President “They Call Me Unity” is at again! (Alas, if he only had as much credibility as a spaghetti western….) Anyway:
    ‘Biden Asks Congress To End Social Media Immunity At WH Summit Due To “Hate-Fueled Violence” ‘—
    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/biden-asks-congress-end-social-media-immunity-wh-summit-due-hate-fueled-violence
    Key grafs (Read The Whole Dismal Thing):
    ‘At a summit at the White House on Thursday to address “hate-fueled violence,” President Joe Biden denounced white supremacists and urged lawmakers in Congress to end special immunity for social media companies.
    ‘Biden also called on Americans at large to speak out against racism and extremism at the event, dubbed the “United We Stand” summit, which was attended by bipartisan local leaders, experts, and survivors of hate-based violent attacks.
    ‘The event sought “to counter the destructive effects of hate-fueled violence on our democracy and public safety, mobilize diverse sectors of society and communities across the country to these dangers, and put forward a shared, inclusive, bipartisan vision for a more united America,” the Biden administration said on the summit event’s website.
    ‘ “All forms of hate fueled by violence have no place in America,” the president said …’
    Etc., etc., etc.
    (One really ought savor the bit about “…shared, inclusive, bipartisan, vision…”!! OTOH, if this doesn’t win him an Oscar for “Extreme”, if unsporting, parody, nothing will…)

    Compare and contrast with the following (reposted):
    “This is the moment I gave up on Joe Biden”—
    https://nypost.com/2022/09/14/this-is-the-moment-i-gave-up-on-joe-biden/

    Thought experiment: If President Unity would replace each occurrence of the word “hate” with the word “lies”, how quickly would his administration short circuit?

  30. So much self-congratulatory publicity about how big-hearted Martha’s Vineyard came together to help the migrants.

    Buried in the stories or not even reported: the illegals were barely on the island for a day and have already been moved to a military base on Cape Cod.

  31. Truly I do feel for these illegal immigrants being used a political pawns; but not one iota of “sorry” for the (as you so well put Neo, “empty virtue signaling”) places they are being sent to.

    Now, I laugh every time I hear NYC Mayor Adams say “we need help here, our shelters are overwhelmed.”

    Ha! if it was good for the goose; it had better be good for the gander!

  32. It really boils down to a question of ettiquette.
    It is THIS that has caused the meltdown by all the usual suspects….

    The good people of MV did not actually send an invitation to those “guests” to come to their humble abodes.
    IOW, those “guests”, whom all the good people of MV actually DO support, came WITHOUT AN INVITIATION.
    How unforgiveably RUDE !
    And how despicably PRESUMPTUOUS of Governors Abbott and DeSantis to actually believe that those invitations were en route!!

    Contrast these impertinances with the POLICY of “POTUS” and the recent emanations of “VPOTUS”:
    “Biden” HAS INDEED INVITED these “guests” to the US. (Maybe not in so many words, maybe not embossed in gold ink on vellum with an “RSVP” at the bottom…but most certainly “de facto”…and like good guests—like excellent guests—they keep coming!…as they are supposed to…and bring their families, friends, neighbors and acquaintances with them….)

    And THIS “grand, generous, unlimited, no-holds-barred INVITE” is precisely why VP Word Salad spoke undeniable TRUTH when she oh-so-earnestly insisted that “THE BORDERS ARE SECURE”….

  33. Just went down to the church (my church) in Edgartown. The media people were packing up and the volunteers were striking camp. The refugees are gone to the Cape. Not a big crisis of any sort that I could tell. It’s 65 degrees and a beautiful blue September sky. The town is packed with fisherman here for the Derby.

    Given everything else these people have been through, I don’t think they will look back on their 48 hours on Martha’s Vineyard as the worst of it.

    The local Lefties are already starting to think that DeSantis is Worse Than Trump. You have to hand it to him: where political theater is concerned, that was just about perfect. They even sent Venezuelans, who might really be refugees from a dictatorial and dystopia socialist regime. Massive coverage for the fewest numbers, without doing any damage while encouraging Lefties to beclown themselves. Ken Burns probably took the cake.

  35. Apropos of the Martha’s Vineyard migrants being shipped elsewhere tout de suite: “The tolerant and ‘diversity is our strength’ liberals in Martha’s Vineyard couldn’t even last one day with their new visitors from across the southern border before they brought in the buses and began deportation. . . . Border towns in Texas and Arizona have been dealing with THOUSANDS of new immigrants every month, for DECADES. Florida has hundreds of secret flights into their state to ‘distribute’ illegal aliens and this goes on for months. Martha’s Vineyard has 50(!!!) illegal aliens for 24 hours, freaks out, and gets rid of them immediately. ALL OVER 50 PEOPLE! Not 50,000. Not 5,000. 50 people.”
