Martha’s Vineyard Ultra-Rich Meltdown: Let the Military Handle Them. Or a GoFundMe.

The Martha’s Vineyard ultra-rich meltdown over 50 migrants flown to the ritzy island continues as liberals scream that dropping them off their own backyard was “inhumane.”  So how do they think small border towns cope with hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants romping through their property? Florida Gov DeSantis was trying to make a point, and it appears that they totally missed it. Instead of handling the 50 migrants themselves, they packed them up and shipped them to Joint Base Cape Cod to let the US Military handle it.

An Island that receives thousands of visitors every year freaked out over 50 illegals. Thin-skinned maybe?

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

So naturally if they are panicked, they shipped the migrants out to let the Military babysit. Because they declared themselves a “sanctuary” someone else should deal with it. NOW who’s tramatizing the migrants?

The GoFundMe set up for the residents to help with transportation costs managed $42,415.

“UPDATE (Friday, 9/15, 11 AM): The migrants left Martha’s Vineyard for the Cape this morning. You are welcome to still give to support the MV Community Foundation and its ongoing work, but any donations as of 11 AM today will go to shoring up the organizations that provided assistance over the past few days and to building up a reserve to assist situations like this in the future, rather than directly helping this group of migrants and their situation.
Thank you for the generosity of everyone who gave over this whirlwind 24 hours—an incredible response to an incredible (for a very different reason…) situation.” GoFundMe
This is rich people’s version of “Get off my lawn.”

The arguments back and forth between residents and politicians were fierce on social media. Virtue signalling compassion is not the same as real compassion. Real compassion means you have to practice what you preach – the Martha’s Vineyard ultra-rich meltdown showed the entire country that no one was willing to give up their fancy homes, their summer housing in order to help those in need. So much for “sanctuary” jurisdictions.
