Martha’s Vineyard is where the 1% live. Plenty of sightings of politicians and stars are spotted vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard. David Letterman has a home near Herring Creek Farm. Meg Ryan has a seven-acre property. Barack Obama is a frequent flyer to Martha’s Vineyard and usually rents a 28.5-acre summer house. Rosie O’ Donnell and Neil Patrick Harris both have a home on the island. Michael J. Fox used to have a home there but sold it to NHL star Cam Neely.
Reese Witherspoon, a frequent visitor to Martha’s Vineyard, was outspoken in 2018 about how terrible migrant children are being separated from their parents.
Witherspoon once tweeted:
“Attn ALL U.S.Senators & U. S. Representatives: Please support the Keep Families Together Act. This atrocity must end. Please Support S. 3036,”
Laura Bush, showing her RINO colors, stated that the zero-tolerance policy is cruel and immoral. Witherspoon responded, “Well said.”
They are 100% correct. What is happening at the border is cruel and immoral. It is good to know there are people like Witherspoon who have big hearts. This is why Governor Ron DeSantis decided it would best to send fifty illegal immigrants to live in Martha’s Vineyard.
The rich folk there know what is best for the immigrants. They have the space to keep them in their 7-acre homes; they can hire some to clean their houses or mow their laws. You know, so the celebrities can show the world they aren’t racist.
The 1% on Martha’s Vineyard thought that instead of hiring one of the immigrants they pitied, the immigrants were shipped off to a military base in Cape Cod.
CNS News reported:
“In response, Levin posted a tweet, calling out liberal hypocrisy, when the problem comes to their doorstep:
“Martha’s Vineyard authorities kicked the 50 illegal aliens off the island. Massachusetts called in 150 National Guardsmen. What happened to equity? Millions cross the southern border but Martha’s Vineyard can’t accept 50 illegal aliens?”
“Turns out Martha’s Vineyard is the trigger for the Democrats when it comes to Illegal aliens! 50 aliens! Home of the Obamas, Kennedys, and so many other leftwing Democrat millionaire hypocrites,” Levin wrote in a Twitter thread, warning that the liberal elites couldn’t care less about the harm inflicted on average Americans by unbridled illegal immigration:
“They don’t give a damn about the rest of the country, our citizens, or the violence committed against the illegal aliens on the border, and nor do their corrupt media! Not to mention the fentanyl and other drugs killing our young people.”
The left is doing what they do best. They will virtue signal everyone but refuse to be virtuous themselves. They wanted to be sanctuary cities, they wanted us to take in thousands of people without questions, but once at their doorstep, they turned tail.
Rachel Self, a Boston immigration lawyer, and the White House both echoed sentiments that DeSantis didn’t bother letting Massachusetts authorities know. That they had to scramble and find food and shelter for the people.
If only these people would stop to realize, that is the whole point. Now they can experience firsthand what the border patrol has been dealing with all this time. Why the border towns are scared, and why a border wall may not be such a bad idea. Walls are better than cages. Law and order is better in practice, not just as a TV show. Having hundreds of people stuffed into the backs of extremely hot trucks is horrible, but opening our homes and cities doesn’t help the situation.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t have sanctuary cities and expect that you won’t have to provide food or shelter. It is high time that the 1% should do more walking rather than talking.
