People not pawns



For political purposes GOP Governors have been shipping migrants to blue states. A group of migrants were tricked into getting on an airplane that dropped them off at Martha’s Vineyard. That would be the work of DeSantis, using human beings as political pawns. 


Once there the immigrants were treated like human beings. They were given food, clothing, and shelter.  Even lawyers volunteered to give them free assistance. Looks like DeSantis inadvertently improved the lot of those poor folks. That wasn’t his intention. He’s just plain mean.


That’s one of the more troubling aspects of political discourse these days. It’s just so damn mean. Too many groups of people are dehumanized. Once dehumanized it’s easy to justify taking away their god given rights. 


Migrants are treated like vermin. Guess I’m vermin too as it was all that long ago when a lot of my ancestors were migrants. With the exception of those who where already here when the Mayflower arrived. That group of people haven’t been treated very well either. For a nation built on immigration we’ve got a lousy system of dealing with migrants. Neither major party have a very good record there. 


Migration is a huge filter. It takes a lot of daring and courage to leave your home country behind. It would be a darn shame to let all that courage and determination go to waste. Given half a chance those are the people who make this country great. I can see how a lot of native born don’t want to compete. 


Nobody’s doing much for the homeless population either. Is that any way to treat your fellow Children of God? It’s a national shame how so many of those homeless are also vets. That’s another group treated more like pawns and less like people. 


Call me crazy, but I’d much rather feed people than shoot them. That’s one of the reasons I’m so big on preps. It’s not about just getting me though tough times. It’s nearly impossible to survive as an individual or small family group. Like it or not, we are all in this together.

  1. No....De Santis is just calling the leftists bluff. They TALK about "sanctuary cities" but when they actually have these illegals in THEIR cities instead of in the red states along the border all of a sudden they change their tune. De Santis is merely making holding them accountable to their lies. The illegal aliens knowingly came here in violation of the law. ANYTHING that happens to them is a direct result of that. They get NO sympathy.

    1. Sorry there Bubba Dan, but the ones sent to Martha's Vineyard are not technically illegal . They were granted political status as refugees from Venezuela.
      As you already got yours Dan, Are you sure there's no room for a bit of compassion for a fellow immigrant ?
      I guess not...
      BTW , the locals at Martha's welcomed them with open arms, from what I heard.

      Not only that De Satan is in trouble here for abuse of power and spending tax payer funds for personal political motives.
      Not a very wise move in an election year...

    2. 36 hours later they were deported from the Island. Didn't even get an invite to stay at Obama's mansion.

  2. ....since been moved to an air base near Cape Cod, Mass. and been given new clothes, cell phones and the ability to speak with attorneys....

    You make it sound as if the folks on the island "embraced" the poor people.

    Nope, they had them off their island immediately, if not sooner. And I'll bet no one came down with sandwiches or anything else for them either, to make them feel welcome.

  5. Democrats "we're sanctuary cities /states all are welcome."
    Also Democrats "how dare you send those people here."
    Democrats. Utter hypocrites and bigots.

  6. Martha's vineyard residents collected over $40k ostensibly for their new guests who they promptly palmed off to the National Guard. Not one cent went to the immigrants, it went into their town fund which already had $16 million in it.
    Nauseating hypocrisy.

  7. Not from the Democrat hypocrites running Martha's Vinyard though is it.
    That's the problem with Democrats, they're utterly oblivious to their hypocrisy and bigotry.

  8. Yearning to breathe free, or yearning for free stuff? Who's paying for the iPhones? Since they were from Venezuela maybe they should go on a USA tour and tell all the Democratic Socialists how great Socialism works...it does work as long as one is an ELITE Socialist on Martha's Vineyard.

  9. The Biden administration has been bussing and flying alien peoples all over this country for the last 18+ months... And not one news network would report on it. And according to the police scanner mostly to "red states." And where's the outcry for that been...?
