    Massachusetts called in the National Guard on Friday to deal with the “humanitarian crisis” that locals claim was set off by just 50 migrants
    being flown to Martha’s Vineyard by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — before the deep-blue state shifted the new arrivals to Cape Cod.

    Three buses rolled up to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Edgartown to
    take the mostly Venezuelan migrants on the first leg of their journey from
    the elite island of multimillion-dollar mansions — including a seven-
    bedroom home owned by former President Barack Obama — to Joint Base Cape
    Cod on the mainland.

    The National Guard members will supplement work already underway by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, Gov. Charlie Baker’s office
    said in a statement.

    “Our Administration has been working across state government to develop a
    plan to ensure these individuals will have access to the services they
    need going forward, and Joint Base Cape Cod is well equipped to serve
    these needs,” the governor said.

    Baker added that the state emergency agency “is coordinating efforts among state and local officials to ensure access to food, shelter and essential services for these men, women and children.”

    It’s unclear what duties would be performed by the National Guard members.

    Baker said removing the migrants to Cape Cod was necessary because “the
    island communities are not equipped to provide sustainable accommodation,
    and state officials developed a plan to deliver a comprehensive
    humanitarian response.”

    Before getting on the ferry to the mainland, migrant Everlides Dela Hoz
    told the Cape Cod Times she had no clue where she being taken, but was
    told the location would be safe and equipped with beds.

    Hoz added that she and other migrants leaving Martha’s Vineyard were told
    they would get help finding work, according to the report.

    Baker and DeSantis are both Republicans, but the Florida governor this
    week sent two planeloads of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard to show
    solidarity with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s longer-running campaign to bus migrants to Washington, DC, New York City and Chicago in a bid to pressure Democrats into tightening border policies.

    Abbott and DeSantis say they are shipping migrants north to help educate
    others about the strain experienced by border states.

    This year has already seen an all-time record number of illegal border crossings. Fiscal year 2022, which ends Sept. 30, is expected to record
    more than 2 million migrant encounters along the US-Mexico border, an
    increase from 1.7 million in fiscal 2021, fewer than 500,000 in fiscal
    2020 and nearly 1 million in fiscal 2019.

    Critics blame President Biden’s border policies and his more welcoming
    rhetoric to migrants. The Biden administration has relaxed a Trump-era
    policy of turning away all illegal border-crossers, citing a CDC COVID-19
    rule, and ended a policy of requiring migrants to remain in Mexico to
    await court rulings on their asylum claims.

    DeSantis spokeswoman Taryn Fenske said the flights to Martha’s Vineyard
    were “part of the state’s relocation program to transport illegal
    immigrants to sanctuary destinations.”

    “States like Massachusetts, New York and California will better facilitate
    the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as ‘sanctuary states’ and support for the Biden administration’s open border policies,” Fenske said.

    Abbott’s efforts to bus migrants to Washington, New York City and Chicago sparked panic and anger among local mayors. Democratic DC Mayor Muriel
    Bowser declared a “state of emergency” and Chicago’s Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot allegedly put migrants back on a bus — to a Republican-leaning suburb.

    On Thursday, Abbott’s administration delivered 101 migrants to Vice
    President Kamala Harris’ official residence in Washington, saying, “We’re sending migrants to her backyard to call on the Biden Administration to do
    its job & secure the border.”

    Biden tapped Harris last year to lead efforts to address the “root causes”
    of migration, but the crisis at the border instead worsened.

    Biden on Thursday night slammed Abbott and DeSantis, telling a Hispanic Heritage Month gala in DC that his administration has “a process in place
    to manage migrants.”

    “Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props.
    What they’re doing is simply wrong, it’s un-American, it’s reckless,”
    Biden said. “And we have a process in place to manage migrants at the
    border. We’re working to make sure it’s safe and orderly and humane.”

    Biden added, “Republican officials should not interfere with that process
    by waging these political stunts. It’s long overdue for Senate Republicans
    to come to the table to provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers,
    those on temporary status, farmworkers and essential workers. We need to modernize our laws so businesses get workers they need and families don’t
    have to wait decades to be brought back together. It’s time to get it
    done. That’s why we have to win this off-year election.”

    Well said! Vote blue, get your illegal aliens!

    Right. He expected that goofy skank to have a backbone?

    “Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as

    There is no process. It's a daily mob of invading illegals streaming
    across the border.

    Biden added, “Republican officials should not interfere with that
    process by waging these political stunts. It’s long overdue for Senate Republicans to come to the table to provide a pathway to citizenship
    for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farmworkers and essential
    workers. We need to modernize our laws so businesses get workers they
