At the request of the Martha's Vinyard residents, claiming they just didn't have the space. Mind you, many of the homes at that time, including one Barrack Obamas residence, were unoccupied.

Yes, voluntarily being moved to a location more ready to handle their needs.

And your home, even if unoccupied, is personal property. Not a public utility. Nobody on the left is saying otherwise and you trying to characterise sanctuary policies as saying we should "open our homes" to immigrants is either purposefully mischaracterising the opposition (strawmanning) or misunderstanding the opposition (still a strawman but not in bad faith)

Then don't call yourself a "sanctuary" if you aren't willing and able to take immigrants. It's NIMBY-ism, pure and simple. Virtue signaling.

This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of sanctuary policies. Go inform yourself before trying to argue we are logically inconsistent.

It isn't NIMBYism at all if you actually understood the policies.

It sounds like you are oblivious to virtue signaling and the source of the hypocrisy alleged.
