More immigrants being sent to where the dems said they're welcome is a crime against humanity.

Saw a clip of some nitwit on CNN or MSNBC saying that sending illegals to liberal sanctuary cities was JUST LIKE the Holocaust.

So I guess tour buses and jet aircraft are JUST LIKE cattle cars, and there are gas chambers and ovens in Martha's Vineyard, New York City, Washington D.C., and Chicago.

Just more proof that liberals aren't merely people with different opinions, they're stark raving lunatics.

I know I've already said this in my last three posts, but this is just such a brilliant move, especially using Martha's Vineyard, that it's just making my month. Every time I see the usual suspects yell "humanitarian crisis!" I just smile.

Since Brandon has been in office, FIVE MILLION illegals have entered the country at the Southern border, overwhelming all the poor communities there. The fact that fifty illegals in one of the richest communities in the US, if not the world, is causing such an uproar by the people who told poor towns in red states to suck it up is just UltraMagaSchadenfreude.

Not uncommon to finds posts going on how about the US is the most repressive country ever. Usually by the same people who equate themselves with Jews in Nazi Germany if someone uses the wrong pronoun

A couple of years ago, Europe was having its own illegal alien crisis with an influx from North Africa and the Middle East. Germany was accepting them, and sending them to different towns.

One fairly small town (tourism and skiing in the winter were the main businesses) was notified they were going to get a LOT of these illegals - amounting to a very significant fraction of their population. The German government demanded a list of all available hotel rooms, vacant office space and private homes with extra bedrooms.  The mayor (burgermeister?) pointed out that the last in particular was prohibited since the German constitution prohibits taking people's homes to house others, and as for the other info demanded, well, they had no information on that. There was some back-and-forth on this.

Well, eventually, a train full of illegals pulled in late, along with some bureaucrats. They found the train station closed, locked, and dark, with nobody there except a janitor. No food, no transportation, no housing arrangements, no welcome committee - nothing. Phone calls to town offices got recordings saying they were closed.

Bureaucrats were furious - but the town was doing nothing. Ultimately they called the German army who came out and set up a tent city in a vacant field, along with field kitchens, latrines, etc. Last I heard, they were looking elsewhere for housing to accommodate the illegals . . . a situation that was due to get worse, since another trainload was supposed to come in soon.

Never saw a follow up, but I wonder if some border communities and border states here should do the same as that little German town.

If Martha's Vineyard was a predominantly R community you know what the MSM and pols reaction would be.

Thereby greatly strengthening the case DeSantis and Abbott are making. At least to all but the most virulent TDSers.

Thanks Brandon!  =D

DeSantis is definitely running for president. He must have been a bit jealous of Abbot's headlines, not only copied his stunt but he had to "borrow" some migrants from him. :laugh:
The migrants who Gov. Ron DeSantis flew to Martha's Vineyard this week were not transported from the state he actually governs, but from Texas.

How is sending illegals from non-sanctuary cities to sanctuary cities a stunt? Isn't that what sanctuary cities were designated for?

A stunt is more like a president sending thousands upon thousands of illegals to non-sanctuary cities in the middle of the night.

Only the most evil Nazi would subject immigrants to the horrors of being sent to cities that welcome them.

No, DittoHead is right.  This is a political stunt, in much the same way that declaring a city a sanctuary city is a political stunt.  I think I like it, but it remains to be seen how it will play out.

The government seeding illegals throughout the US is not supposed to be visible, so it is not a political stunt.

Of course it's a stunt. Of course it's political theater. It's about time some high-profile Republican pols starting playing that game.

The governors are drawing attention to a problem, which is absolutely necessary, if we're to really address a problem like this one.

I think the clip in question was an interview with Ken Burns. I can only assume his next documentary will feature interviews with residents of Martha's Vineyard, who were there when Hitler shipped in the boatloads of Jewish prisoners.
