Martha's Vineyard, MA - September 16: Venezuelan migrants and volunteers celebrate together outside of St. Andrew's Parish House. Two planes of migrants from Venezuela arrived suddenly two days prior causing the local community to mobilize and create a makeshift shelter at the church.

This was after Labor Day and “the season” was starting to slow down. Suddenly, 49 men, women, and children appeared on the island. None of these liberals had ever seen anything like it — perhaps because they are on a literal island secluded from the Democrat policies causing the flood of illegal aliens.
Nonetheless, those hearty New Englanders dealt with the newcomers for a paltry 48 hours the best that they could.
For that Herculean task, The Boston Globe — the region’s largest Left- wing rag — has awarded the citizens of Martha’s Vineyard an honorable mention for “Bostonians of the Year.”
It should be noted that past recipients include Monica Cannon-Grant — a BLM-aligned activist who was arrested last March along with her husband Clark Grant. The two were federally charged and arrested on 18 counts of fraud and conspiracy in relation to her non-profit, Violence in Boston (VIB).
Over the summer, VIB shut its doors and Cannon-Grant requested unemployment assistance from the state.
Yet Cannon-Grant’s troubles of her own making are nothing compared to the plight that the denizens of the lily-white vacation spot of climate czar John Kerry and the Obamas had to go through (a fiasco also of their own making).
Here’s how The Globe article starts off, which should let readers from Stamford, Connecticut, to Saco, Maine, know that they are in for a real treat:
LISA BELCASTRO HAD JUST finished teaching a karate class when she checked her phone and saw an urgent text. It was from a friend at Martha’s Vineyard Community Services, the island’s safety-net nonprofit. “We have about 50 Venezuelans here,” her friend said. “We don’t know why they’re here or how they got here, but we have to take care of them.”
You might recognize the name Belcastro because she is the same broad who exasperatingly told the press that sooner or later, those pesky South American visitors would have to say, “¡Vamos! ¡Adios!”
“At some point in time, they have to move from here to somewhere else, right?” Belcastro said at the time. “We don’t have the services to take care of 50 immigrants. And we certainly don’t have housing — we’re in a housing crisis as we are on this island.”
