Snobbery and hypocrisy on full display in Martha's Vineyard

NOTE: Catch me tonight/tomorrow morning (September 17/18) on Coast to Coast AM. I’ll be on from 3-5 am eastern time.

I was against the idea of shipping off our plethora of desperately poor illegal immigrants, to a “Blue” area of the country. After all, they’d still be here. And that’s the problem. Millions of them need to be deported. That is the only way we could begin to undue the damage from decades of official malfeasance on the border.

But I have to say I have been won over by Ron DeSantis’s move. Sure, I know he’s perhaps even more beholden to Israel than Donald Trump was, but it was a brilliant ploy, that exposed liberal hypocrisy for all it was worth. When someone does something good, I give them credit. This was good, if for the entertainment value alone. And what else can be done? No one will mention the “D” word. Trump talked about doing it, but didn’t. Now no one will even talk about it.

The genius of DeSantis’ move is that he sent the illegal immigrants to the most elitist spot in the country. Where “White Privilege” really is a thing. The only comparable locations would be ski resorts like Sun Valley, Idaho, or Vail, Colorado. Greenwich, Connecticut would be pretty good, too. Of course, if they can find the most exclusive communities in Hollywood or Beverly Hills, that might be the best of all. It’s a guilty pleasure to watch those sanctimonious virtue signalers squirm.

What DeSantis did, for at least a brief shining moment, is subject deluded and entitled White people to a taste of what most Americans have been increasingly subject to now for decades. In this case, there were a comparatively handful of poor, Brown people to endure. Sure, they don’t speak English, and most likely never will fluently. But that’s part of their charm. In the hinterlands, I mean. It’s not so charming in an unimaginably wealthy resort community. Then again, Martha’s Vineyard must have some illegals around. After all, how else do the manicured lawns get mowed?

And there must also be some illegal nannies and governesses there as well. Rich people seem to only hire nannies and governesses that speak Spanish exclusively. You wouldn’t understand, it’s a One Percent thing. To those of us who don’t breathe that rarified air, it seems pretty irresponsible to entrust the care of your children to those who literally don’t speak the same language. But the wealthy mimic each other. Remember the old, “keep up with the Joneses.” So, one of them once thought it was a good idea, and all of them are still following protocol. As the great Ferdinand Lundberg pointed out, traditionally the maid’s day off was Thursday. Everywhere.

The reason I voted for Donald Trump the first time is because he was the first American politician, since perhaps Pat Buchanan, to make our disastrous immigration policy his primary issue. America has been committing cultural suicide since the 1980s, when Republicuck legend Ronald Reagan (a lifelong “open borders” advocate), signed off on some deadly “reform” legislation that granted amnesty to untold millions of illegals. The borders have been wide open ever since.

I covered the incredibly negative impact of our immigration policy on working class jobs and benefits in my book Survival of the Richest. That is probably the main reason almost everyone on the Left has studiously avoided the only book that ever detailed the rigged economic system that has produced a shameful disparity of wealth. The Right loves poor immigrants, legal or illegal, because they represent the cheap labor they can’t get enough of. And the Left loves it because it’s almost all nonwhite (which is always a good thing to them), and represents a new loyal voting bloc.

But this move by DeSantis has really shined the light on these wealthy, parasitic roaches. “Persons of Color” are all the rage, in your hometown. Let them come to Martha’s Vineyard, to paraphrase JFK. A community of White snobs like that would only welcome so many Brown people, if they were hosting a sporting event or music concert. And they do boast Barack Obama, kind of the Grand Poobah of all Blacks, despite having a White mother and being raised exclusively by Whites. Obama doesn’t have much “hood” in him, despite his best efforts. He’s an honorary White.

It’s not like liberal hypocrisy isn’t already well known. Leo DiCaprio and friends flying in on their private jets to lecture the masses about their carbon footprints. Al Gore compiling the biggest electric bill his elite county had ever seen. George Clooney moving from one of his properties because migrants were too nearby. Oprah calling the police on some poor squatters, who’d found a corner of her mammoth estate to occupy. And, of course, all the Leftist Covidians being caught without their masks in public.

The Martha’s Vineyard Crisis illuminates several important components behind this country’s ongoing collapse. First, there is the segregated, wildly rich elites, oblivious to all the economic and cultural havoc being wreaked within society at large. As John F. Kennedy admitted, he only learned about the Great Depression from history books. The self-proclaimed chic only knew about illegal immigration from consuming their own poisonous media, produced by their “own kind.” Until now. They finally, at long last, experienced a tiny bit of the “joys of diversity.” Which they have proclaimed is America’s “strength.” For us. But not for them. For them, it’s Apartheid.

I’m sure that for every female over a certain age in Martha’s Vineyard, To Kill a Mockingbird was their favorite book and/or film. But to those same virtue signalers, a Brown person walking free in their community is essentially an act of terror. They might as well have accused the migrants of looking at a White girl the wrong way. And after all, one of the beauties of the “migrant” experience is the fact almost all of them are young adult males. Exactly how does that happen organically? Did South American incels just get the word that America is the place to go to? Do they think their “sexual emergencies” (and yes, at least one migrant rapist used that excuse) will be understood here, in the Land of the formerly Free?

These “migrants” barely had a chance to irritate anyone. There was no time for them to commit any crimes, and not be deported for it. And since the Martha’s Vineyard crowd undoubtedly made no attempt to converse with them, they couldn’t swear to the fact they didn’t speak English. I mean, of course they didn’t, but still. They didn’t even give them the chance to compete for all the hottest jobs in the illegal immigrant community; nannies and landscapers, for example.

Donald Trump was first called “racist” after he visited the mother of a young woman who’d been killed by an illegal that had been deported multiple times, and committed multiple crimes. For condemning that, he was criticized, not the illegal immigrant murderer. Think about that; the most heinous crime of all is not as important as alleged “racist” comments. But if a special situation arises, like the invasion of Martha’s Vineyard by fifty migrants, then those rules don’t apply.

Imagine if Donald Trump had compared Ron DeSantis sending asylum-seekers to Martha’s Vineyard to “me taking my trash out and just driving to different areas where I live and just throwing my trash there.” That tweet came from NBC News, a “liberal” bastion of our state-controlled media. It is, indeed, the good “liberals” who most despise the “persons of color” they always trying to elevate in the public mind. It was our beloved President Joe Biden, after all, who once reminded us that “Poor kids are just as bright as White children.” Well, but not in Martha’s Vineyard!

We’ve been dealing with a similar dilemma regarding “affordable housing” for decades. No one wants a Section 8 unit near where they live. No single family home owner even wants an apartment complex to be built within his family’s school district. And there never has been a Section 8 unit near the likes of a Rodeo Drive. But poor people have to live somewhere. This rigged economy has produced a lot more poor people in recent years. And that was without all the “migrants,” who are more impoverished than our poorest citizens.

I like the idea of the ivy tower social justice warrior having to walk the walk. Move them into your mansion. Okay, at least let them squat on your sprawling estate somewhere. Those tent cities would look better there, instead of creating Third World eyesores on the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles. But we know they’d just call the police they sometimes want to defund, like the poor oppressed billionaire Oprah. Think of all the castles, vacation homes, and spare estates the top tiers of the One Percent own. And even private islands. That’s the perfect place for “migrants.” There they can roam free, practically like human beings.

This “migrant” crisis didn’t happen by accident. It was engineered, like everything else, by the evil puppet masters above the fray. Do we really think that “migrants” in Haiti, or Africa, are paying for the plane tickets to “migrate” here? Someone is obviously financing all this. And why don’t any migrants want to go to First World, nonwhite countries? Japan, for instance? Or even China? Sure, the tyranny is overbearing, but it’s clean and well-functioning. Better than what they came from, right? Why is it just the majority White countries that they flock to?

Exactly what is China’s immigration policy? North Korea’s? I think it’s safe to say that they severely limit any non-Chinese or non-Korean immigrants. Why don’t the social justice warriors call them racist? China has open, definitely racist signs about no Blacks served, no Blacks allowed, etc. Shades of the Confederate south, which haunts the virtue signalers still. Well, you might as well ask them why they don’t protest the estimated 40 million slaves around the world today. Not in 1860. The answer is, because both the slaves and the masters are nonwhite. Where’s the story in that?

Being a liberal, back when I proudly called myself one, meant standing up for the little guy. Wanting to reform things that needed reforming. Being concerned about injustice and unfairness. Caring about freedom of speech and civil liberties. Hating war and advocating for peace. The meaning has changed a great deal. Now it designates someone who wants to control speech, not protect it. Now it means simply calling people you disagree with the same tired names, first and foremost being “racist.” Now it means hating White people, especially if you are White, to such a degree that you have to be surrounded by them in your neighborhood.

Well, to be fair, surrounded by Whites who are at least as wealthy as you are. I have a feeling that if DeSantis had rounded up a bunch of “White trash” from a Florida trailer park, and flown them to Martha’s Vineyard, the good residents would have been pretty flustered, too. Although, them being White and all, it might have taken them more than 24 hours to figure out that they didn’t “belong” there. They essentially want the hoi polloi to “stay in their place,” much as the White establishment felt about Blacks when they started demanding Civil Rights.

In less than 24 hours, this invasive force of fifty migrants was unceremoniously escorted away from Martha’s Vineyard. By the National Guard. The same National Guard that Donald Trump would have been “racist” to send out during the summer of 2020, when cities all across America were burning from BLM riots. The same National Guard that Republicuck Governor Greg Abbott has never used to quell the crisis in Texas, the epicenter of the “migrant” problem. Or Governor Anthony Ducey of Arizona, another state being besieged by far more than fifty illegal immigrants.

Since the immigration authorities exist only to usher illegals into the country, other Republican governors should have been doing this for a long time. But the stupid Republicucks aren’t good at much of anything, except apologizing. Yes, the “conservative” Abbott sent some “migrants” to Washington, D.C., but why didn’t he send the National Guard to protect the border that the federal government won’t? Why don’t they use the powers of their office?

Republicucks don’t roll that way. They prefer to….well, do nothing. Mild rebuke and insincere scolding are their weapons. But wait, the governor of Massachusetts, who ordered the National Guard deployed, was Republican Charlie Baker. So it appears they can act when needed to. If a large corporation needs bailing out. Or big banks. If a midnight pay raise for Congress must be pushed through. Or, in this case, if an exclusive resort area was in danger of being polluted by the “trash” our immigration officials have been depositing in mostly “Red” states all over the country.

One suspects that Charlie Baker would be a Republicuck, too, if he were governor of a state undergoing a real invasion, like Texas or Arizona. And Abbott or Ducey would probably be a lot more proactive if Martha’s Vineyard was in their state. They must remain true to their class. Illegal immigrants aren’t competing for Vice Presidents in Charge of Looking Out the Window positions, at least not yet. And they aren’t about to displace American citizen actors for jobs, so Hollywood is in their corner. Unless they show up in their exclusive neighborhoods.

Because they control every organ of the mainstream media, the virtue signalers have turned this narrative on its ear, and portrayed it as “exploitation” by DeSantis. Not sanctimonious hypocrisy on their part. The celebs, safely ensconced behind their palatial gates, can pontificate away, firing one poisonous barb after another at the “White Supremacists” who really run this land. DeSantis tried. I hope he does it again. Maybe Abbott and Ducey will realize that they have the power to protect the border. As Donald Trump once said, you either have a country or you don’t.
