‘Literally Human Trafficking’ Spews Hillary Clinton on DeSantis Sending Illegal Migrants to Martha’s Vineyard
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Slammed Governor Ron DeSantis for flying migrants to Martha’s Vineyard on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show, claiming the move was “inhumane.”
However, Clinton leaned into the empathy and community response in the sanctuary jurisdiction in response to the influx of migrants.
“They’re going to respond. They’re going to feed them and house them.”
Another Twitter user agreed.
Ron DeSantis claimed Martha's Vineyard residents would "go berserk" when they saw the migrants arrive. Boy, was he WRONG! In fact, so many locals rushed in to offer their support to the asylum seekers that many of them had to be turned away.
THAT’S why I’m proud to be a liberal!

Another pointed out the apparent contradiction between the two positions.
Y is it cruel to send them to Martha's Vineyard? A lot of wealthy people there and it's a beautiful area for the illegal immigrants, to stay. Plus, they have a lot of empty rooms in their homes to house these people. Y don't you have a problem with it when they come to our homes?

Clinton claimed that flying migrants would “exacerbate” the problem of illegal immigration but did not clarify how.
The former Secretary of State also stated that “nobody wants open borders who has any idea of how governments and countries work.” She continued that the government should “reform, change and better fund” the immigration system.

However, Clinton also claimed that this is distinct from the bussing and flying programs undertaken by DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbot, saying they would “rather have an issue than be part of the solution.”
According to DeSantis, the issue was the build-up of illegal immigrants in border towns and high-immigration states, and this is the solution, at least until the border is secured.

Clinton also characterized the move as human trafficking, another popular accusation. However, as DeSantis War Room points out, there’s some hypocrisy implicit in that claim as well, given how short-lived the hospitality of the sanctuary jurisdiction of Martha’s Vineyard has been revealed to be.
Perhaps Democrats should have considered these constraints BEFORE they decided to make their island paradise a "sanctuary" for illegal aliens and then voting for Open Borders Biden. https://t.co/afyUKCdpzV

So the "sanctuary jurisdiction" of Martha's Vineyard, which claims to be a welcoming community for illegal immigrants, is busing them off the island after just 1 DAY? https://t.co/ssBwXihvyG

The claim is also technically wrong, as the flying funds were all above board. Biden had also been sanctioning secret flights for migrants, according to the New York Post.
Remember, Gov. DeSantis requested funds in the state budget to transport illegal aliens to sanctuary states. It's paid for, using interest from federal funds.
Biden used our tax dollars to pay contractors to smuggle 1000’s of illegals to our cities in the dead of night.

Martha’s Vineyard declared a state of emergency over the 50 migrant influx and was slammed on Twitter.
Thoughts and prayers to the people of Martha's Vineyard, who are under a state of humanitarian crisis thanks to the presence of 50 illegal immigrants.

If 50 people once is a humanitarian crisis then what is 5,000 a day.

It took only 50 illegal immigrants in Martha’s Vineyard to cause a “humanitarian crisis” on their left wing island. Now imagine what Texas & Arizona cities dealing with millions of illegal immigrants crossing the border are dealing with. pic.twitter.com/VgYazjm7KP
