The migrants to Martha's Vineyard were launched from a military base in San Antonio:
Q: And I'll ask you another one quickly, if you don't mind, about, there are some report of tracking -- flight-tracking software of some of these flights that the government of Florida operated taking migrants from the San Antonio area to Martha's Vineyard. There are some fight -- flight-tracking sites that showed that the planes originally took off from Kelly Field at Joint Base Lackland, and I'm wondering if the Pentagon is investigating whether Kelly Field was used to fly migrants, and if there is anything that's being done to look into future uses of Kelly Field or other Defense Department installations in some of these state actions in immigration.
GEN. RYDER: I don't have any information to provide on Kelly Field. I am aware of the migrants that have been brought to Massachusetts, as you highlight...
Uh huh...
So... what did the president know, and when did he know it?

As usual, you contribute negative value to the discussion. Let's talk about what actually happened to the migrants: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/09/16/marthas-vineyard-migrants-cape-cod/10398087002/ [usatoday.com].
The migrants were lied to, given fake documents, and prevented from meeting with ICE officials. Not only did DeSantis engage in cruel and inhumane behavior, but he interfered with federal border security enforcement.
DeSantis should be impeached and removed from office for human rights abuses and interfering with federal law enforcement. He needs to be imprisoned for his crimes, along with Greg Abbott and Doug Ducey.
Of course, bigots like you are completely fine with this. You'll support DeSantis because you consider it okay to exploit migrants to "own the libs."

Go ahead, put your political spin on the events. There's nothing new about liberal progressives lying their asses off. There are more jobs available in the northeast United States than there are in flyover country. I want to see those illegal aliens stealing UNION jobs for a change, instead of the low-paying jobs people in the red states hold.
Always remember, it was Joe Burden who told them to "surge the border". Joe wants them here, Joe and his friends can find jobs, food, housing, and medical care for them.
Oh yeah - jobs. Some lib or another has alread pointed out that if they are seeking political asylum, they aren't eligible to work in the US? If so, there are just as many legal jobs in Martha's vineyard for them, as there are in Texas, New Mexico, California, or wherever.
Suck it up and stop whining. If it weren't for Joe Burden's and Democrat's political stunts, we wouldn't have the crisis at the border. Surge that border boys and girls!!

Biden said, "We should immediately surge to the border. All those people who are seeking asylum, they deserve to be heard."
That very clearly means that the United States should send enough people to the border to hear asylum claims in a prompt manner, and to quickly decide whether to grant or reject their applications. Biden obviously did not tell migrants to surge to the border. He said, "We should immediately surge to the border." Unless you are claiming that Biden is planning to show up at the border to seek asylum, that is clearly not directed at migrants but a course of action for US immigration officials.
Of course, if you provided the entirety of the quote and gave proper context, it would be clear that your interpretation is patently false. That's why you just cherry pick three words to claim that Biden said something when, in fact, what he said was quite different.
There's no point in addressing the rest of your drivel when you include a boldface lie like that. If your opinions were actually worth taking seriously, you wouldn't feel the need to include blatant and egregious lies like that.

I think we should keep the statue. It's a beautiful symbol and reminder of the 1880s, when France was a very different place, and so was this. We were in a time of growth, learning and discovery. It was a beautiful era. The west had been settled, the telephone was in many homes, and we were living in a new, modern world. Don't patch it, this time, until the country again deserves it.
