What happens when you go too far trying to "own the libs"?

Libs show their humanity - something MAGA seems to lack - and prove the story of America as the plaque on the Statue of Liberty claims it is.

Planes carrying 50 migrants from Venezuela and Colombia landed unexpectedly at Martha’s Vineyard Airport Wednesday afternoon. Island officials and volunteers quickly rallied to find temporary shelter for the group.

State Sen. Julian Cyr said the planes originated in San Antonio, Tex., and appeared to be part of a larger campaign to divert migrants from border states.

“Just like the reverse freedom rides in the 1960s, this endeavor is a cruel ruse that is manipulating families who are seeking a better life,” Senator Cyr said. “No one should be capitalizing on the difficult circumstances that these families are in and contorting that for the purposes of a “gotcha” moment.”

It wasn’t until the planes touched down that airport personnel discovered they were filled with migrants.

“We’re immigrants,” Eliase, who said he was from Venezuela, told the Gazette. “We came here because of the situation in our country, for the economy, for work, for lots of things. I came here walking. We went through 10 different countries until we got to Texas. There a refugee association put us in a plane and told us there would be work and housing here. I feel good, despite everything. We spent four days in Texas so it’s good to be here."

"Some of them were told lies…they were told they would receive housing and jobs immediately upon arrival,” he said.

Harbor Homes shelter manager Lisa Belcastro, who was overseeing the relief effort at St. Andrew’s, praised the community's outpouring of support.

“We have literally everything we need right now,” she said. “This place is a stopgap — it is not a long term solution. The challenge is at some point we have to move these people…we can’t house anyone here.”

She continued tearfully: “Every single person has come up and said they want a job; they are not looking for a handout. Some of these people have been through horrific things. They need a break. They need help.”

In a news release Thursday morning, the Martha's Vineyard Humanitarian Response effort asked that inquiries about how to help be sent by email to EMD@dcsoma.org.

“People were served breakfast this morning by the parish and served lunch by the school system. We are a community that helps one another and you can see that here,” [Rep. Dylan Fernandes] said.

In a statement emailed to media outlets, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed that the airlift “was part of the state’s relocation program to transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations.”

Without alerting anyone at the destination that these people were coming. 

Attorneys “are meeting with each person individually,” said Janet Constantino, a coordinator with the Island Counseling Center. “A lot of them have dates with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), so they are trying to figure out when the court cases can be rescheduled.” Ms. Constantino added that Martha’s Vineyard Community Services had purchased numerous smartphones for the migrants so they could check in with their families.

“People are very anxious to leave,” he said, noting that many thought they were going to Boston. He added that none of the group had planned to arrive on the Vineyard, and state and federal agencies were working together to connect people with friends and family members in the United States.

In a statement Thursday afternoon, Gov. Charlie Baker said his administration was exploring setting up temporary shelter and humanitarian services at Joint Base Cape Cod.

“The commonwealth has many resources for assisting individuals that arrive in Massachusetts with varying immigration statuses and needs and is working with all partners involved to make sure those resources are available to the migrants that arrived last night,” he said.

According to reports and flight logs, the planes originated in San Antonio, Texas, and had brief stopovers in Florida on route to Massachusetts. Massachusetts officials said they were caught by surprise by the airlift.

State Sen. Julian Cyr, who represents the Cape & Islands, told WBUR that he sees this as a "political stunt."

"This isn't about having Massachusetts or other so-called blue states sort of pitching in to help in the migrant crisis. This is about extremist politicians exploiting vulnerable people for their own gain. And that is simply disgusting."

U.S. Rep. Bill Keating, who represents a district that includes the Cape and Islands, took to Twitter late Wednesday night to deliver a scathing criticism of DeSantis' decision.

"History does not look kindly on leaders who treat human beings like cargo, loading them up and sending them a thousand miles away without telling them their destination," he wrote.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.  Assholes.

UPDATE:

How about we fly Ted Cruz to Venezuela?

Also, this:

Let's call it what it is.

UPDATE:  When you hear comparisons to "Reverse Freedom Rides", this is what they're talking about.

UPDATE:

But Ronna is merely carrying out the play: Paint Democrats/liberals as hippocrites on immigration.  She knows MAGA don't pay attention to actual facts.
