The tony resort community so loves aiding and comforting the undocumented immigrants who were flown in from Florida that it hugged them - for all of 48 hours.
Oddly, the Left became unhinged when red-state governors - whose states the last two years were flooded with some 3 million people who entered the country illegally - finally decided to spread welcoming chores among affluent blue-state communities.
Why had it not earlier objected to the federal government night flights of tens of thousands of border-crossers to red-state communities that had opposed illegal immigration? And why be angry with governors who were only emulating that policy by flying in a mere 50 newcomers - in the light of day - to a far wealthier and liberal-minded sanctuary resort? Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gave the nearly all-white, rich vacation spot an opportunity to match noble words with even nobler deeds.
The 1 percent screamed that their small community could not possibly cope with a mere 50 new arrivals.
They should ask how does a poor Yuma or El Paso sustain hundreds of thousands crossing illegally into their communities - once Joe Biden effectively rendered federal immigration law null and void? The Martha's Vineyard vacation mansion of the Obamas is currently vacant, as are most of his neighbors' estates.
To be fair, Martha's Vineyard could serve as a permanent way station for border-crossers.
This new idea of redirecting undocumented immigrants from swamped communities on the border to more supportive sanctuary well-off cities might also serve as an ethical model for us all on a variety of other issues.
