I don’t see why this is considered appalling. Massachusetts declared itself a “sanctuary state”, one that is welcoming to illegal immigrants and won’t prosecute them for entering the country illegally. Surely asking some illegal immigrants if they want to visit Martha’s Vineyard and putting the volunteers on a bus or a plane is a good thing? After all, if they stayed in Florida they would be subject to arrest at any time. Border towns in Texas and Arizona are seeing ten thousand or more illegal immigrants per day. We can’t leave them all there or they will starve. If we can’t deport them then we must spread them around. Personally I am more in favor of deporting them (after all, by our standards they have committed a felony), but as long as we have sanctuary states to send them to then surely that is just as good.
