Yeah, he's never said he had a problem with illegal immigration before now.
Dude's(?) a fraud.

I guess I just really like all 4 seasons. And you can't really have true 4 seasons where it's really hot or really cold for long lengths of time.
Not to belabor the point, but Martha's Vineyard is pretty temperate, being on the ocean. Yes, it has cold - and snowy - days. But overall, it's not as cold as Indiana or Chicago.
I'm one of those weirdos who kind of like shoveling snow a few times a year. Not blizzards, mind you, but shoveling snow gets the blood flowing.
I guess I spent too many Indiana summers in the corn and bean fields - I hate hot weather.
- Martha's Vineyard has a long history of attracting some of the most influential people in the world both as visitors and homeowners.
- The Obamas reportedly just bought a nearly $12 million mansion on the Massachusetts island.
- They now join a long list of high-profile people, like Jackie Kennedy and 60 Minutes anchor Mike Wallace, who have called the island home.
- Martha's Vineyard is also a popular vacation spot among the wealthy — Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Larry David have all been spotted spending time there. Even Princess Diana would visit, according to the Observer.

Own it! Wealthy Martha's Vineyard locals now face pressure to welcome newly arrived Venezuelan migrants into their homes after displaying lawn signs saying 'we stand with immigrants... all are welcome here'
- Florida Gov. DeSantis sent about 50 migrants to the wealthy island enclave aboard a chartered aircraft
- Many on the island have long displayed signs proclaiming 'all are welcome here' - including immigrants
- Now DeSantis supporters joke that those signs will be quickly torn down by local residents
- But officials on they island say they are giving support and shelter to the group in the wake of their arrival
Hey, I would be just find deporting the red states and replacing them with immigrants. The level of intelligence would skyrocket.
We love immigrants. We really do unlike the racist MAGA crowd. Now send in the National Guard immediately....we're being invaded!!!
Wait - I thought the leftists here said they were being treated well there - why are they shipping them off to the gulag?
That. Is. The. Whole. ****ing. Point. Nobody ****ing coordinates with Arizona, Texas, California, and New Mexico when the migrants cross into those states. Nobody is calling Florida ahead of time to tell them, "Hey, we got some migrants set to arrive at this point in 2 weeks." They just show up. And the reason they show up is because Biden has a policy to not deter them from showing up. In fact, he has basically rolled out the re carpet for them and said come on in.
"These people are being used as pawns..." to a degree, yes. To make a point. Just like the Democrats use them for their own political ends. Difference being the Democrats in the Northeast and East Coast who voted for and support Biden's dumb shitty take on the border NEVER have to deal with what that actually means. It means people ripping up your fence and trampling across your property in the dead of night. It means armed men showing up on your land as they help "transport" migrants into the country. It means that your streets and underpasses get filled with tent cities in border towns with migrants because they showed up with no plan.
The complaining you all are doing is exactly the types of complaints the border states have been making for decades. In response you called them racist and hateful. Moving those people to a place where there is no plan but there are the facilities and means to take care of them if resources are reallocate is the point. Y'all did not listen when the situation was described. You ignored at best and virtue signaled and dropped ad hominems at worst. So now the people who have been dealing with these issues are showing what it is like to have a group of people who have nothing show up at your front door demanding you provide for them. What MV, Chicago, and NY have got here recently is what places like El Paso, McAllen, and dozens of small towns across the southern border deal with daily.
The fact it took two governors to ship people around to make that point is on people like the lady complaining in that video in Martha's Vineyard. You voted for this idiot, you get to deal with some of the consequences. And to the people that got moved, sorry you got caught up in this but I hope that the nice airplane flight and the digs in comfortable MV don't put you out too terribly.
We are arresting them by the droves:
July border arrests decrease but expected to total a record 2 million by next month
July border numbers decreased but are expected to reach 2 million apprehensions by end of the fiscal year next month.
Is arresting people coming in illegally, "rolled out the re carpet for them and said come on in"?
There are problems we can talk about, but in my mind arresting 2 million people this fiscal year is no welcoming them in.
Some of the locals have. The majority of the residents who summer there...
The entertaiment news networks will each focus on one or the other.
Rep. Kildee from Michigan
Sen. Manchin from W.Va
I like the lady running for Senate in NC against Sen. Budd. I'd vote for her, but I can't vote for a D for Senator when it would give them control of the Senate.
There are probably more, but I don't care to go down the list. There are some I respect, but wouldn't vote for.
What Republicans do you respect or vote for?
Perhaps Kamala can get this straightened out on her next full week visit down there.We are arresting them by the droves:

Oooh, they got arrested? How terrible. So they got processed, released, and told to come back at a later date for court. Over 60% were let right on in. And most of those who were not let in were deported under a Trump rule.We are arresting them by the droves:

Basically the police processed them into the country and unless they were a known criminal they were let right in.
Color me unimpressed.
Also, there is a whole bunch in that article that indicates the border is out of control.

(not directing that at anyone)
Relative economic benefits drive immigration numbers, by and large.
If Bidens policies are affecting that on the margins, they should stop.
But I’ve yet to see anyone decrying this action answer the question about why Texas, Az, Ca, and FL should bear the brunt of this (if that is true).
I have a lot of friends in the Rio Grande Valley. The biggest problem they report is with illegals immigrants driving around without licenses, getting into accidents, and then running/driving away. Say it happens all the time.
People aren't having issue with the idea of other states helping. It is the dropping them off unannounced and at places that they know wouldn't be equipped or prepared to assist. It was an obvious political stunt.
because the difference of people crossing the border and someone shipping those people unannounced to somewhere else is apparently completely lost on you.
Your selective outrage makes me puke.
The Dims have been using the poor in Central and South America as pawns for years - encouraging them to walk to the border, then screeching when they overwhelm the system and are put in holding cells JUST LIKE ALWAYS - all for political points against Trump and the Wall. Creating lies of "sanctuary cities," then screeching when those Lie Cities are called upon to handle 500 - FIVE HUNDRED - people, claiming that sending them to the place that ASKED TO RECEIVE THEM SO THEY COULD CARE FOR THEM AND PROTECT THEM FROM THE BIGOTS IN THE GOP is wrongful - and instead expect the overwhelmed cities in Florida, South Texas, South Arizona and South California to STFU and handle HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS - "deal with them without resources - don't send them to us - we merely claimed to want them and HAVE the resources, but making the GOP look bad is more important than helping people."
What a bunch of soul-less deplorable liars.
You're an angry old man, Floor. But, hey, at least you're not slandering my grandparents today.
And your all-caps writing style doesn't make your "whatabouts," false equivalences and assorted fallacies any more compelling.

None of them have seen any tent cities in the US. Nor do they notice a marked difference in crime or daily life over the past decade or two (either the understanding that they’ve always had illegal immigrants in the area). But there are frequent news reports.
Obviously, this is anecdotal but it’s worth asking: what’s the evidence for a surging problem in border towns, specifically?
Border Patrol stops trailers smuggling 34 migrants, armed escort with AK-47
Border Patrol finds a scout car arsenal and migrants in trailers in El Paso and New Mexico.

Your definition of legal and mine are different. There is a legal way to enter the United States, they chose to cross the border illegally. Hence, they are illegal immigrants. I understand your spin on using asylum seekers but they broke the law crossing the border. However, in Biden's administration they don't believe in law and order, so you might be correct.
Voted for Richard Lugar every chance I got. Didn't agree with many of his policies but respected the hell out of him. Represented our state with class.
Voted for Holcomb last go around. While I still respect him I may not vote for him again. His views on cannabis are archaic and his recent abortion bans were disappointing.
Larry Hogan I respect. A lot. Would possibly vote for him over Biden if given the chance.
Phil Scott, Chris Sununu are both good. Same as Hogan. I'd seriously consider voting for them.
And of course Kristi Noem. But for entirely different reasons.
See, we do have some common ground - Kristi for Prez!Voted for Richard Lugar every chance I got. Didn't agree with many of his policies but respected the hell out of him. Represented our state with class.

Did you ever see any pics of her when she was younger? She's way hotter now, with a different hairstyle. I think she was also blond at one time.
because in trump's administration, they believed in law and order? (see jan 6)
lmao.....hahahahahahahahahahahaha
The "divisiveness" attributed to Biden instead of his critics is at least partly caused by the fact that he beat Trump instead of a reasonable/ traditional Republican like McCain, Romney, Kasich, Boehner, Ryan etc.
When Trump unloaded with his nonstop election fraud crap, his followers started their nonstop search on inauguration day for every single criticism of Biden they could find, including shit they just made up.
As near as I can tell, Biden is just another typical Democrat President, less liberal than FDR in fact. If Biden weren't President, no one would call him senile (or divisive), but that unfortunately is just a by-product of the Republican sore-loser strategy.
The people yelling "Lets Go Brandon" acting like Biden is the one being divisive is just looney tunes.
He hits back any at their constant BS towards him and they act like it is all him.
Abbott doesn't care about them and neither does the bus company (or the airplane charter to Martha's Vineyard).
That long of a bus ride requires several meals and an overnight stay somewhere. I believe there surely must be time limits as to how long an interstate bus driver can drive without resting.
Imagine the bus company that delivers 60+ people to Maryland but soon finds several hundred pickets at corporate headquarters asking for details of its government contract with Texas on these points.
Throw in some time-sensitive medical or dietary needs among the forced political passengers trapped on a bus for 25-30 hours, and Abbott may find himself having to blame someone else. Abbott may have immunity for acts taken in office but that bus company would have no immunity.
Hmmm. Forcing illegal immigrants to travel across state lines. Somehow that does not automatically sound like it has no consequences in criminal law.
Well, OK, but so what? I'm pretty sure you've said you're willing to vote for Trump and/or DeSantis over all Democrats, despite calling Trump and DeSantis and Biden divisive.
Can you think of any other candidates that are better?
It is known around here that cops don't stop them for traffic violations much because they don't want to do extra paperwork. The Mexican theory about insurance is we are all rich and have it so they dont care. They just go some place else
The possible Democrats don't matter to you. You'd blister them anyway.
Prove me wrong: tell us what specific policy-driven attributes (regardless of party) you'd like to see among all the Presidential candidates.
