Not really an accurate depiction – though the welcoming nature is true enough. While DeSantis deceived these people (refugees from Venezuela, a country from which we accept refugees, remember) into believing they would be given food and homes and shipped them out without food or support with CHILDREN to Martha’s Vineyard, the people of the Vineyard welcomed them, got them resources, found them places to live, and helped raise money for them.
The sentiment of the cartoon is appreciated. The stereotypical depiction of all latinos (even Mexicans) as wearing Mexican sombrero and sarape, is not.
This is pretty unfair. The people of Martha’s Vineyard stepped forward to help the “brown political props” of DeSantis and Abbott more than anyone else did.
it is kidnapping since these poor people where lied to and told there was jobs and housing waiting for them, then they were just dumped off. Why don’t these evil politician’s actually work to help people instead of trying to prove who is the most racist of all?
I visited Martha’s Vineyard last year. The interior of the island would remind you of a very normal subdivision with very regular people, now with a planeload of immigrants.

DeathSatan and AbbottCostello are dumber than snake mittens. A d*uche of their magnitude could cleanse the birth canal of a whale.

Mr. Danziger, this one’s a miss. It’s inaccurate about—and unfair to—everyone pictured.

If they were Hispanics from CUBA – the Cuban-Americans would have laid on the runway to stop it. Same old: we’re here -you keep out
