Wow.
Just wow.
How about those that went to MV a number of years ago and got turned away?
I guess they are welcome by these people only when they can be used as slaves or cheap servants.
Who will fetch the Margaritas with them gone?

To the Editor:
Let’s be clear. On Martha’s Vineyard, we are happy to have friends from different backgrounds, because they bring culture and talent to our community, and they are our good neighbors. While diversity brings challenges, it has made the Vineyard a better place to live, and we believe that we should do everything we can to preserve the culture of inclusion that thrives here, in spite of the tenor of our country.
When masked men approach people and pull them off the streets, it is a traumatic and terrifying experience. Other law enforcement groups don’t ever do this, for any reason, and ICE shouldn’t either. While our government is injecting fear in order to encourage people to leave, we want people to feel that they belong here. When there are alleged criminals breaking the law, democracy has viable ways of investigating and handling cases, as well it should, but due process is essential. We know from experience that freedom and justice can work hand in hand, and that civil rights can be protected in prosecuting cases in a viable democracy. This should be our goal as a society, rather than rounding people up indiscriminately and deporting them without due process, particularly if they have come here to flee violence.
