I notice that in all the pictures these desperate people all appear to be well dressed in the latest styles of skinny jeans and expensive athletic shoes and ware. The one you included shows them taking selfies on a phone that I wonder is that a freebie from our government too? If I had traveled for days by walking and wading the rio grande I would think I would be a little less presentable than they appear to be. Seems like Dick Tracey or Columbo would have noticed that too!

It's BS. I live in Southeastern MA. I know people on the Island. I have been there may times. They have been crying for years that they can not get enough immigrant workers on the Island to wait on them. In the past, they have had over 5000 visa workers per year, as that many were needed. They have been crying this year that they can not get enough visa workers. Businesses have had to close because they could not get the visa workers. They could certainly intergrate 50 people. But, that is part of the larger issue in that they want the visa workes there to wait on them (as a servent class), but do not want them to live there. How ironic. These past 60's hippies who made their fortunes and are now wealthy yuppies living on the island (or summering on the island) and want to now keep out the less fortunate. They have became the type of people that they used to rail against in their younger hippie days. Ideally, I'm sure they want them there to cater to them when needed but want them to take the daily ferry to a run down poverty stricken city on the coast, like New Bedford MA, to live. Pathetic self absorbed class of wealthy spoiled Democrats who are trying hard to make themselves look like they care.
