Martha’s Vineyard Declares ‘Humanitarian Crisis’ With Over 50 Illegal Aliens

It appears that Democrats don’t like illegal immigration when the problem shows up in their neighborhoods.

After Joe Biden and the Democrats failed to address the crisis of illegal immigration, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reportedly flew 70 to 100 illegals to Martha’s Vineyard.

The small island of Martha’s Vineyard is packed with rich liberals, including the Obamas who own a $15 million home in “The Vineyard.”

In response, the island declared a “humanitarian crisis” over the roughly 50 or so illegals.

“To our Island community, here is an update on current humanitarian crisis on Martha’s Vineyard….we thank people for their continued help,” the official statement reads.

Take a look:

Lisa Belcastro, coordinator for Martha’s Vineyard homeless shelter Harbor Homes, said the migrants couldn’t stay.

“The difficult challenges are, we have, at some point in time they have to move from here to somewhere else,” she said.

“We cannot, we don’t have the services to take care of 50 immigrants, and we certainly don’t have housing. We’re in a housing crisis as we are on this island. And we don’t, we can’t house everyone here that lives here and work here. We don’t have housing for 50 more people.”

A couple of Republican governors, Florida’s Ron DeSantis and Texas’ Greg Abbott, sparked a wildfire of fury and controversy on Thursday when they dispatched illegal aliens who came across the southern border — with the federal government looking the other way — to a pair of high-profile spots: The vice president’s residence in Washington, D.C., and Martha’s Vineyard.

For the record, Abbott has been dealing with this problem for months. And DeSantis has, too, as the Biden administration continues to dump undocumented foreigners all over the country, including Florida. Both became so fed up they decided to send the illegals to the most liberal places they could find.

Meanwhile, Abbott loaded up a few buses and moved his migrants across the country — dropping them off right in the front yard of Vice President Kamala Harris’ mansion. Harris famously declared last Sunday on “Meet the Press” that the border was “secure,” but what the illegals (their word, not mine) told reporters was truly remarkable.

“It is open, not closed. The border is open,” one man who was among the 100 or so foreigners dropped off by two buses said to Fox News.

“Everybody believes that the border is open,” he said. “It is open because we enter. We come in free, no problem. We came illegally, not legally.”
