Martha's Vineyard Declares a "Humanitarian Crisis"
Plus: NeverTrump Declares a Humanitarian Crisis, Too!


Visit Martha's Vineyard
@VisitMV

To our Island community, here is an update on current humanitarian crisis on Martha's Vineyard....we thank people for their continued help.

marthasvinyardemergency.jpg

Still can't get over the optics of a humanitarian crisis.

"We have 50 brown people, I repeat, 50 brown people now entering the vineyard. Please stay calm. Should you be approached by one of these brown people, take any measures you feel necessary to ensure your safety and the safety of those around you."
Posted by: The Central Scrutinizer

Meanwhile... thousands are released into El Paso, Texas, which is expected to suffer silently so that the rich bitches of Martha's Vineyard don't have to hear about the problems their policies cause.

Just think of all the diversity Martha's Vineyard is getting and how much stronger it will make it.

Posted by: sniffybigtoe

Strange how that is exactly not the talking point from the left!


Lol. Commenter on Twitter just now:

"Ron DeSantis has done more to diversify Martha's Vineyard in 24 hours than its privileged and elitist residents have done since its founding in 1642. This is a win for diversity, why aren't they all celebrating? This man needs to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom."

Brian Lonergan at American Greatness:

Chicago is a metropolis of more than 2.7 million people and an annual city budget of $16.7 billion. Yet the mayor of this proud sanctuary city professes to be outraged when two--two!--buses of illegal aliens arrive? Given their talking points such as "diversity is our strength" and "immigrants make communities stronger," one would expect Lightfoot, Adams, and Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser to be competing for the honor of receiving the most illegals. Instead, they are declaring public emergencies and attacking the man who was nice enough to provide them with more community strength.

After excoriating Abbott for allegedly using the illegal aliens on buses as political pawns, Lightfoot re-affirmed that Chicago is a welcoming city and vowed to "step up and do the right thing to make sure that migrants coming into our city are well received, that they're supported." Then, in an act of shameless hypocrisy shocking even by today's meager standards, Lightfoot proceeded to ship more than 60 of these same aliens out of the city to the nearby suburb of Burr Ridge.

...

The sanctuary mayors' predicament has resulted in widespread schadenfreude, especially on the part of those in Texas who experience the daily toll of the border crisis.

"'Welcome to our world' is what they say," Jonathan Thompson, executive director and CEO of the National Sheriffs' Association told Fox News Digital. "Welcome to the everyday problems we are facing, and you have been ignoring and that you continue to want to blame someone else for."

While opponents have accused Abbott of political motives for sending aliens to sanctuary cities, the problem on the ground in Texas is increasingly crossing partisan lines. The city of El Paso is so overwhelmed with aliens that the Democrat-led city government recently chartered a bus to send 35 citizens of Venezuela here illegally to New York City.

The leftwingers -- and the NeverTrumpers -- but I do repeat myself -- were fulminating hatefully and, of course, impotently.


@TheRickWilson

A friend points out @RonDeSantisFL flew two planeloads of illegal migrants from Venezuela to Martha's Vineyard without coordinating with DHS or INS...

Does that make him a coyote?

I mean, I'm no lawyer, but 8 USC 1342...

That's not how laws work, you silly fat weakling retard. If they worked that way, then Biden would be a "coyote" for flying thousands and thousands of illegals around the country on secret darkflights.

And we know you're not a lawyer; you're a boy-pimp for John Weaver.

You fat piece of shit.

Rick Wilson, who looks like an interrupted circumcision, is every kids mental picture of what a sex offender looks like.

@MaxBoot

@GovRonDeSantis' heartlessness and cynicism is hard to exaggerate. Basically using poor immigrants as pawns in the culture wars--and stepping stones to the presidency. Beneath contempt. He would be very dangerous if he ever became president.


Seth Abramson, a Russiagate Hoaxer, and therefore a great ally of Max Boot and the rest of NeverTrump:

RETWEET if you would like to see the U.S. Department of Justice investigate pro-Trump MAGA-Republican governors Ron DeSantis (FL) and Greg Abbott (TX) for human smuggling and kidnapping after they transported migrants across state lines without their consent as a fundraising ploy.

Our own little proggy troll:


so tell me again how this is different than what the administration is doing by bussing illegal immigrants all over America in the dead of night, or the plane-loads they fly under cover of darkness? I forgot how that's different.
Posted by: TecumsehTea

It's different because we want to enforce the border and stop this. You want to continue it -- but keep the illegals in red states and red counties.

Nope! You're the ones who virtue signal your "Welcome" signs; you keep 'em.

Noted Conservative Hugh Hewitt is giving the Legacy Media tips on how to illustrate the plight of the illegal aliens, and score points against Greg Abbott:

Hugh Hewitt

Replying to @thatkingthingand @RitaPanahi

Ran past that w/FMH hundreds of times. There is nothing --nothing-- nearby to which the immigrants can repair. Legacy media: Perhaps cover these folks as individuals and follow what actually happens to them as they wander towards Rock Creek Park or up towards MD?

The True Conservatives Conserving Conservatism at The Bulwark are, get this, outraged about this. Jonathan V. Last is blaming, get this, "Christian Nationalists," claiming that these illegals are not being sent to leftwing jurisdictions as a protest or to highlight the problem that the leftwing elite prefers to keep hidden, but simply to be "cruel."

"For the Christian Nationalists," this True Conservative Christian writes, "cruelty is the point."

lastpart1.jpg

Oh right -- because DeSantis is a racist. Just like Trump.

Weird how anyone who opposes Neoliberalism (and the Democrats you're paid to shill for) is now "Just Like Trump."

It's almost as if this has nothing to do particularly with Trump at all, but is only about the loathsome neoliberal deposed Establishment grifters smearing and destroying all of their competitors, so that the Democrats can give them the Republican Party back to them to run as controlled opposition.

lastpart2.jpg

Ah good, lecture us all about being a good Christian, abortion-supporting Judas.

I've said this a thousand times. I will say it once more: NeverTrump are rabid Open Border-ers. This is the main and foundational reason they opposed Trump.

But they are cowards and liars and do not believe in ever fighting a fair fight, where they make their true opinions known. They know that Open Borders is not a popular political on the right, so we've had to endure six fucking years of Phony War about other things they don't like about Trump, his mean tweets, grabbing metaphorical p*ssies, etc., all things they think they imagine should win points with conservatives.

But they will not come right out and state their real, original motivation for intense loathing of Trump: Because they are Open Borders fanatics, and Trump said he was going to deport the illegals back to their home countries.

Ask anyone in Conservative, Inc. about this, any NeverTrumper, and get ready for a lot of double-talk and platitudes without any definite meaning as they attempt to obscure their actual position on immigration, which is, as the Wall Street Journal used to declare every July 4th (until 9/11, when it became impolitic to say): "There shall be open borders."

One of the Open Borders fanatics' favorite subterfuges is to talk about free trade in absolutist terms. This is their way of talking about Open Borders without talking about Open Borders -- because, in their minds, there is no way a nation can maintain completely free trade, with no tariffs, unless that nation also enacts Open Borders with respect to population flow. If you just allow goods to move across borders completely freely, this will create labor problems, as jobs will move overseas; you must then also allow and encourage labor to follow trade. Again, freely -- and across Open Borders.

That's the theory -- Open Borders and Free Trade are two sides of the exact same coin.

The arch-libertarians therefore use Free Trade as a stealth way to argue for Open Borders. People are generally in favor of Free Trade, so it's a more palatable way to argue in favor of Open Borders.

This is why they screamed so disproportionately loudly about Trump's fairly minor adjustments to our trade schemes, which all rectified actual problems and abuses in trade. They were screaming about these minor things because it wasn't really about these minor things at all.

It was about Open Borders. Again.

Some of the NeverTrumpers, who are now just on the payrolls of archprogressive Democrat-aligned billionaires -- such as the grifters at The Bulwark -- seem to be more open now about admitting that yes, they are and always have been Open Borders, and will oppose any candidate who opposes Open Borders... not just those who write Mean Tweets or have been divorced twice, but even nice Harvard-educated Navy men who've remained married to the same woman.

All that other bullshit is a smokescreen.

I remember scolding AllahPundit about this. He was constantly attacking DeSantis, and I began reminding him: You are pretending that Trump is uniquely evil, and uniquely a figure to be opposed. And yet you continue opposing, with the same venom and vehemence, anyone who does not hail from the Acela Corridor Corporate Yuppie Con Establishment. You're giving the game away that this is not about Trump; this is about any populist push-back against neoconism (which is really just neoliberalism).

I don't know if he read that but within the next few weeks he started pretending to be open to a DeSantis candidacy, just to stop Trump.

But this is -- and always has been -- about Open Borders.

Almost all of these scumbags are atheists, but they do have one religious impulse, and that religious impulse is for Open Borders.

Open Borders now, Open Borders forever!

They want Open Borders. They know you Stupid Racist Bigoted Rubes will never support them if they say so, so they'll sell you on Free Trade (failing to note their secret understanding that there can be no free trade without free movement of labor across borders as well) and they'll talk about Mean Tweets and Grabbing of the P*ssies and Russian Pee-Party Prostitutes and everything except the fanatical commitment that drives them, an America Without Borders.

Because they're "honorable." Except for lying to you, all of the time, constantly, about everything, about large things, about small things, about meaningless things.

They lie because it's simply their nature. They are snakes who count themselves clever for manipulating and deceiving people, and they love feeling "clever."

Update: For those who question my statement that, for the archlibertarians, free trade and open borders are two sides of the same coin, see this CIS report.

This article argues against that position -- which is confirmation that that position exists.

It is frequently maintained that "free trade" belongs to "free immigration" as "protectionism" does to "restricted immigration." That is, the claim is made that while it is not impossible that someone might combine protectionism with free immigration, or free trade with restricted immigration, these positions are intellectually inconsistent, and thus erroneous.

I didn't mean to say Free Trade actually equals Open Borders. I meant to say, to this type of corporate archlibertarian, the two are synonymous -- so if they want to argue in favor of Open Borders without using the forbidden words "Open Borders," they can get cute and argue for "Free Trade" instead, knowing (in their minds at least) the same arguments that support the one support the other.

I banged out that commentary, which is stuff I've wanted to say forever, in five minutes, in response to the Omidyar-funded propaganda by Last. Five minutes doesn't allow a lot of time for editing.



DEI Poster Girl:

Flashback: The federal government sent 70 secret nightflights of planes filled with illegals to Florida.

The US has sent over 70 flights of migrants from the Mexican border to Jacksonville, Florida since the summer -- but the Biden administration has not disclosed any information about the clandestine transports, Gov. Ron DeSantis' office claimed.

The alleged flights -- which landed in overnight hours -- come as officials struggle to deal with overcrowding at border facilities, according to The Washington Examiner.

"Over 70 air charter flights [on] jetliner airliners coming from the southwest border have landed at Jacksonville International Airport," Larry Keefe, the Republican governor's public safety czar, told the outlet.

"On average, there's 36 passengers on each of these flights. And that has been going on over the course of the summer through September."

4 So...what's the point of this?

Are they really that overwhelmed (highly doubtful)?

It must be political messaging, possibly a way to get funding from the state/feds/NGOs to deal with this.

But it also sends a message that even small injections of illegals are justifiable reasons for declaring emergencies that even wealthy places can't handle. That's...extremely destructive to their message nationally.

I mean, TX and FL are probably maxed out and no longer have the resource to give these folks a proper US homecoming...this is a true blessing to everyone.

60 Town Emergency Management Operations from the six island towns and the Sheriff's Office, as well as County Management are actively collaborating to develop a coordinated regional response.

Get ready, Massachusetts. You know what this means. The "coordinated regional response" means that these aliens are going to be ejected from Martha's Vineyard and settled in your towns, probably areas of Boston, focused in poorer satellite cities with higher Latino populations in places like Chelsea or Lynn.

I hope you guys like it. It doesn't matter if you don't or not because Martha's Vineyard *will* be sloughing them off on you. Enjoy your part of the "coordinated regional response."

69 Keep in mind, this will remain theater until we get a change in policy at the national level that can help prevent the situation that Abbott and DeSantis are responding against.

That's not going to happen for a while, not while the Democratic Party is scared shitless that it's base has no reason to come out and vote for them. Giving them a reason to not vote D this year because they push a federal bill to force the administration to close the border is not going to happen.

However, open borders is actually really unpopular (hence KJP's insistence that the administration doesn't believe in it), and they are caught between the obvious reality and the narrative they create for their base.

99% of political theater is inside baseball that doesn't matter.

This is the 1%.

70 I should hope that the primary reason Martha's Vineyard was chosen by DeSantis and team is that it indeed is where the Milk Chocolate Messiah calls home (or one of the many homes).

Barry would look like a true champion of the people if he invited over some of the new arrivals and have them do some work around the place. In return, the illegals could get tonight's leftovers as payment.

Maybe they could construct a sea wall along the shore, if he is no longer interested in pushing back the encroaching seas with is messianic abilities.

Chris Hayes did a book talk and signing of his latest book in August, 2017 at the "Bunch of Grapes Bookstore" on Martha's Vineyard. It's not a very big bookstore.

It's the wrong kind of "diversity."

I am reminded of a time that my mom made a friend very, very angry on this topic. They were typical big-city liberals who were well-to-do and lived in a gated subdivision. They were going on about how diverse their lovely neighborhood was, what with a Latino on the next street and an Asian down the road a charming black couple next door and so on. My mom said, "but isn't that just skin color? Your neighbors are all exactly like you. You went to the same schools, you all work in the professions, you all vote similarly, you share most of the same interests. Your neighborhood is not diverse in any meaningful way."

That is Martha's Vineyard diversity. The right kind of diversity. The superficial kind.

I guess I didn't mean to say that Free Trade REALLY equals Open Borders. I meant to say, to this type of corporate archlibertarian, the two are synonymous -- so if they want to argue in favor of Open Borders without using the forbidden words "Open Borders," they can get cute and argue for "Free Trade" instead, knowing (in their minds at least) the same arguments that support the one support the other.

I don't understand this. If jobs move overseas, then labor would move overseas, so Americans would move out, not millions move in?

They move in because we are rich, but our riches are largely from financial chicanery and indebtedness. Being the reserve currency and home of financial leverage make us richer than most.

There are other things that make us rich, but while corporations are moving TO cheap labor, our labor is not leaving to chase it, for the most part.

Haven't seen any information about this year's crop but actually, in their societies, immigrants are more typically middle class, not the abject poor. That is why they can risk it.

I like this method better. The truth is those cities are already brimming with illegals. Not all of them stay in TX or AZ. They make their way to these cities either on their own or on Air Fed.

Sending them to areas like MV makes a much bigger impact because they don't go there normally and that's where the biggest hypocrites reside. Even if the numbers are smaller the impact is a lot bigger.

227 I don't understand this. If jobs move overseas, then labor would move overseas, so Americans would move out, not millions move in?

It's about businesses here being able to import cheap labor in order to lower costs. It's not always cost-effective to move the whole factory to another country and ship the finished goods back to the US. Instead, they simply want to drive down wages here.

256 176 I guess I didn't mean to say that Free Trade REALLY equals Open Borders. I meant to say, to this type of corporate archlibertarian, the two are synonymous -- so if they want to argue in favor of Open Borders without using the forbidden words "Open Borders," they can get cute and argue for "Free Trade" instead, knowing (in their minds at least) the same arguments that support the one support the other. Posted by: ace
-------------------
Ace,
Free trade does end up resulting in open borders all things being equal. Simply put, costs of production including labor will have to come down in expensive countries and that will pull labor costs up in poorer countries as the labor surplus is redistributed. Doesn't work that way in labor markets that are restricted (licensing, language, etc.) but it certainly does in the entry level jobs in many areas including many of the service jobs that more or less are difficult to offshore. So, it in effect makes our poor class, poorer and much more dependent on welfare/disability/illegal activities, etc.

264 Truth is, these are probably mostly honest people who want a chance in life. They are not the problem.

The problem is nebulous and rarely with one busload of people wanting a place to build a life. MV will not get the full experience until they have hundreds and they start having kids, and they take over the schools and start bullying the white kids. Then their cousins from "down south" move up to sell drugs and the gangs start,....

I don't wish that on MV, but I also don't wish it on the other 80% of the country where it has already happened.
And then the good people run from those places and the value of houses in the safe neighborhoods goes up and so the politicians vote for more. It is theft. If I am the only guy in town selling red cars, and I pay people to vandalize all non-red cars, well that is theft and that is what is happening.

Ace,
Free trade does end up resulting in open borders all things being equal. Simply put, costs of production including labor will have to come down in expensive countries and that will pull labor costs up in poorer countries as the labor surplus is redistributed. Doesn't work that way in labor markets that are restricted (licensing, language, etc.) but it certainly does in the entry level jobs in many areas including many of the service jobs that more or less are difficult to offshore. So, it in effect makes our poor class, poorer and much more dependent on welfare/disability/illegal activities, etc.
Posted by: whig at September 15, 2022 04:41 PM (CXr4y)

ace is talking about an economic union. Lack of labor mobility tends to make shifts in economic development more painful. Free trade or the absence thereof, doesn't inherently create long-term unemployment but will result in regions being more specialized (and consequently the economic structure being less like a conventional pyramid). Can't have Luxembourg without trade.

Just no.

Sure, some jobs will shift overseas for the comparative advantage, but those non-shiftable service jobs will go up in wages. What is wrong with cleaners and low skilled people making a living wage?

The third variable is that we subsidize the poor and now many just don't work. This does great harm to them. Then we need new poor to replace the ones we pay not to work.

In general, you were correct the first time. Labor market economics is a bit wonky due to restrictions via laws but in general, free trade will ultimately cause labor movements. In fact, that was a major reason for the EU was to allow free movement of labor across the zone to increase the EUzone's economic competitiveness. What they did not consider is that their generous welfare programs for residents would become an even greater magnet to nearby poorer countries outside of the zone.

387 In general, you were correct the first time. Labor market economics is a bit wonky due to restrictions via laws but in general, free trade will ultimately cause labor movements. In fact, that was a major reason for the EU was to allow free movement of labor across the zone to increase the EUzone's economic competitiveness. What they did not consider is that their generous welfare programs for residents would become an even greater magnet to nearby poorer countries outside of the zone.
Posted by: whig at September 15, 2022 04:53 PM (CXr4y)

Large changes in the trading regime between countries will cause jobs to move, the question is whether labor can follow. If it can't then the adjustment process can take a long time. The laborers dislocated in various regions may not be able to follow the same profession to the new location that specializes in it. Hence the desire for an economic union in the EU.

Both of Michigan's former (living) GOP governors have now endorsed Whitmer.

Think about that. Whitmer. Why?

Because while they relied on the Second Amendment and Right to Life vote, they always hated those people and never lifted a finger to help them. They said the words to keep their right flank secure.

But they always regarded the core of the party to be the Chamber of Commerce. That's why they fought tooth-and-nail for business tax cuts but didn't raise a peep about unfair trade deals. The masks are off.

What you cannot prevent is the egress of companies under the free trade banner from going to cheaper places to operate and sending the cheap labor products back to the country they exited.

People way up the food chain in production tend to benefit until they don't anymore as the outsourcing country literally loses the expertise to manufacture anymore. So, like in a lot of the Third World which is the US is becoming, you get a small marketing and executive presence of globo corp but production facilities are located whereever it is cheapest to operate.

So, you cannot have free trade without ultimately ending up with free labor markets. I am not in favor of either as a general rule btw.

It's been a shorter time since Christians stopped accepting """Right""" wing guilt trips about their faith. But they're never going back to that.

This cudgel is broken, and all of you swinging it around in unison as a pre-approved Party talking point is a great reminder of *why* that is.

Posted by: Red Turban Someguy - The Republic is already dead! at September 15, 2022 05:04 PM (b2nrj)

No, all of them benefit in some way.
If you can move production overseas to use dirt-cheap labor, you do so.
If you can't, you use Green Cards to import cheap labor to drive down American wages, and use illegals whenever possible.

And if you're well-positioned, you do both.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at September 15, 2022 05:07 PM (llXky)

Conditions that favor one type of producer disfavor the others that aren't part of its supply chain. The big automakers certainly didn't benefit from opening of trade.

477 "But I know these scumbags believe that Free Trade IS Open Borders, and Open Borders IS Free Trade."

just guessing since I don't read them, but I think they mean the smelly deplorables deserve to lose jobs to exporting of manufacturing AND lose jobs to importing cheap illegal labor. No borders means no culture, which is part of the destructive Marxist game.

They think their riches in the stock market makes them princes, and the rest are unworthy.

This is more complicated but the whole idea of comparative advantage also applies to labor costs. We are a first world country so we should be moving up the supply chain and selling technology, expertise, equipment, etc. (like Japan and Germany!) and maintain a global dominance on the high end, not in making shoes.

520 Chicago is a metropolis of more than 2.7 million people and an annual city budget of $16.7 billion. Yet the mayor of this proud sanctuary city professes to be outraged when two--two!--buses of illegal aliens arrive? Given their talking points such as "diversity is our strength" and "immigrants make communities stronger," one would expect Lightfoot, Adams, and Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser to be competing for the honor of receiving the most illegals. Instead, they are declaring public emergencies and attacking the man who was nice enough to provide them with more community strength

The younger ones are expected to refuse conscription, to include serving the prison sentence if the authorities scoop them up.

550 Gentleman,
I am reasonably familiar with Ricardo's comparative advantage arguments--however, the issue is that you have to take an economy's health as a whole rather than a few subsectors or individuals. Ricardo for example used wine as an example for cloth because England could not realistically produce wine at that time regardless of the expense so they would have to trade for it. Both Portugal and England could produce cloth theoretically leaving out IP there (loom making, dye industries, etc. used to be treated as vital national secrets back in the day). What actually happens, if England and Portugal do not have similar labor costs--both wine and cloth manufacture ends up in Portugal with the only employment in England being wine merchants and clothing retail establishments--so the pressure in on England to lower labor costs--either extract it by lowering wages (or the easy way--import a new labor force). I am ignoring colonization as a third way which it wasn't in Ricardo's day.

Most people are relatively ignorant of economic history while they eagerly debate economic theory. You have to use actual results and adjust your theory to fit it.

552 If you can move production overseas to use dirt-cheap labor, you do so.

If you can't, you use Green Cards to import cheap labor to drive down American wages, and use illegals whenever possible.

So all politics in the U.S. is a morality play. It's a dynamic the right has been on the losing side of for 50 years now. However, we've reached a point where the left is supporting things that are logically evil. This is why we're picking up some traction. So this "stunt" is just political theater but it paints the left as hypocrites which is immoral and takes you back to the first point.

Posted by: Red Turban Someguy

Ag is a special case and has been recognized as such since forever.
But look at Japan - they had labor shortage and developed these nifty machines that automate rice planting (a very high labor technology) (google rice planting machine video) Or the dutch who automated cow milking. The US has fallen behind in some sectors of Ag technology because we have cheap labor.

Japan also accepts that food prices are higher and that is the price to pay for the security (Japan can not feed itself, and is terrified of problem if there is war.) I would gladly pay more for food in US and have safe streets and schools.

555 imo the "archlibertarians" believe The Markets are Free Trade, and their corporate riches are well deserved, tied to their ego.

What is ignored is the cost to Liberty when leveraged individuals play games to become billionaires, and want to get richer by using slaves, polluting, selling our our American middle class ... even building up enemy foreign nations.

Add in the cost of the bailouts for billionaires, the unlimited debt laid at the feet of the children, and now Corporate Wokism and all the censorship and spying. None of that is about Free Markets making all lives better.

Bill of God Given Rights is the founding of our country, not the right to "free trade". (which is back up by the military, not always for good causes, just to protect corporate interests, or collect graft)

But those on the take want it to continue, even if it kills us.

In other words, and illegal immigrant can never be a passenger in a car that crosses state lines.
