Great interview. Regarding the discussion on bussing migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, here is a comical NYT article following up on the aftermath of the initial 49.
‘How Migrants Flown to Martha’s Vineyard Came to Call It Home
Florida flew 49 migrants from Texas to the liberal enclave last year. Since then, a few of them have found work, friends and a new life on the wealthy island.
“Ms. Cauro is one of at least four migrants who have quietly stayed behind on the island, forming bonds with a community that opened what doors it could. Ms. Cauro, 25, is working as a landscaper. Her brother, Daniel, 29, and her cousin, Eliud Aguilar, 28, found jobs in painting and roofing.
They first stayed in the homes of Martha’s Vineyard residents who invited them in, and then began earning enough money for a house of their own, with the four of them currently chipping in $1,000 a month each for a two-bedroom house. They got bicycles to ride around town.”
So, 4 stayed on island and work low-skill, low-wage jobs and spend $4,000 a month to live in a box on the island while the rest are scattered throughout New England. Quite the American Dream and what will propel this country into a bright future in the 21st century. Now multiply this by the millions and we see where this is headed.
