Migrant workers land on Vineyard via Texas
The Times was told that the refugees arrived via Texas, but the situation has been fluid and there has been a lot of confusion surrounding today’s events. The Times was told it was a “company” that organized the flights providing individuals with some cell phone numbers before departing. Migrants used translation apps on those phones getting off the plane.
Just after 5 pm Wednesday, outside Martha’s Vineyard Community Services, Dukes County Sheriff Robert Ogden gathered the refugees and spoke to them.
“We’re going to take care of you,” Ogden said and his words were translated to the gathered crowd. “Get all your personal belongings together and then we’ll move. Does everyone have their personal belongings? We’re going to start moving you that way.”
The group was brought to Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School where they were given snacks and shelter. Some children played outside using hula hoops.
“The most important thing is we get you food and shelter and water,” Ogden told them.
Later, the group was taken by school bus to St. Andrews Church where they will get a dinner of pizza from Edgartown Pizza and spend the night. A short time later folks from Mocha Motts arrived on the scene and provided coffee
Barbara Rush, representing the church, said the church can accommodate up to 80 people legally. Outside the church, the individuals were given COVID tests before entering the church. At one point, the sprinklers outside the church went one getting some of them wet.
Speaking through an interpreter, one of the migrants told The Times that they wanted to come to the Island and are seeking employment. Another migrant named Leonel told The Times through an interpreter that he has no idea where he is.
Schools superintendent Richie Smith told The Times the refugees are mostly men and women ranging in age from 25 to 35 years old. He said there are 10 to 12 children who are elementary age.
Smith said he’s not sure that they know where they are. “I believe they know they came from Texas to here. I’m not sure all of them know they’re here in Massachusetts on an Island,” he said.
Dozens of volunteers are helping out. Two Spanish teachers helped with interpreting, as did members of the staff at MV Community Services, Smith said. There were even some high school kids helping out, he said.
St. Andrews has been set up with inflatable mattresses. He said the organizers will regroup in the morning to determine next steps.

Looks like they’re handling 50 well. Let’s send them 1,050.
I should get paid to send info to journalists, in fact we all should. It was a good time ago I posted about our troops being told to apply for food stamps to help with inflation.
I saw a tweet posted today about it and now Hannity is reporting it as breaking news. I was busy and didn’t change channel after Tucker.

There’s something seriously broken in federal Law Enforcement if they’re going after Mike Lindell, but not the people on Jeffery Epstein’s list.
Reminder: If railroads shut down, our entire agricultural system goes down.
Democrat-backed labor unions are willing to tank the entire U.S. economy.
Why?
Because a 24% raise isn’t good enough.— Congressman Troy Nehls (@RepTroyNehls) September 14, 2022

"I tell you this when we get in charge, we're going to change the rules. And you will have to divulge where you get your royalties from, from what companies, and if anybody on the committee has a conflict of interest, we're going to learn about it.
