  • The Massachusetts island touts itself as a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants.
  • New poll suggests that ordinary Americans are actually supportive of the move by DeSantis and other GOP governors, despite the media’s negative response.
  • Among registered voters, 51% supported sending migrants to sanctuary cities, 29% did not and 21% were unsure, the poll found.
  • Forty-eight percent strongly or somewhat approve of border state governors sending some illegal immigrants to sChicago, Martha’s Vineyard and New York specifically, compared to 38% who strongly or somewhat disapproved.
  • “This polling confirms what all Americans know to be true: RThe open-borders policies of the Biden Administration are wildly unpopular,” said Gene Hamilton, vice president and general counsel for America First Legal.
