You asked for it! Wealthy Martha's Vineyard residents face pressure to welcome migrants into their multi-million dollar homes after proudly Displaying Signs Saying 'We Stand With Immigrants... All Are Welcome Here'
Conservatives have joked that Martha's Vineyard residents will be tearing down woke yard signs proclaiming that refugees and migrants are welcome after Ron DeSantis flew 50 of them to the wealthy island.
'Whole lotta Martha's Vineyard residents about to take down the 'all are welcome here' lawn signs sitting in front of their mansions,' joked Andrew Wagner, a
GOP operative in Minnesota, in a tweet.
He was referring to a poster created by the Island's Hebrew community center, and subsequently adopted by many local homeowners and businesses.
It lists support for black people, the LGBTQ community, migrants, refugees, indigenous people and adds: 'All are welcome here.' Other, more generic, versions of the same sign have also popped-up in backyards across the US in recent years.
Many Americans are now keeping an eye on Martha's Vineyard businesses and homeowners to see just how well they'll treat the new arrivals.
For several years, many businesses and homes in Martha's Vineyard have displayed the above sign with various inclusive messages, including welcoming immigrants
