(Reuters) - Some migrants who were flown to the wealthy island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, said on Thursday they were duped about their destination, and Democratic leaders called for a probe of the move by Florida's Republican governor to send them there from Texas.
One Venezuelan migrant who arrived at Martha's Vineyard identified himself as Luis, 27, and said he and nine relatives were promised a flight to Massachusetts, along with shelter, support for 90 days, help with work permits and English lessons. He said they were surprised when their flight landed on an island.
He said the promises came from a woman who gave her name as "Perla" who approached his family on the street outside a San Antonio shelter after they crossed from Mexico and U.S. border authorities released them with an immigration court date.
He said the woman, who also put them up in a hotel, did not provide a last name or any affiliation, but asked them to sign a liability waiver.
"We are scared," he said, adding he and others felt they were lied to. "I hope they give us help."

Say they were misled BS they sign papers saying they agree to where they are going more of Reuters BS propaganda to prop sloppy Joe Biden up.
Ha!!! How many of these migrants actually speak enough English to express this. I betcha some of the reporters on the by-line were flown to Martha’s Vineyard and interviewed.
They’re building up a case to indict Desantis.
Mark my words.
That was my first thought: More raids are afoot.
Go ahead, make my Millenium!
Marth’s Vineyard is more scary than the Darien Gap?
The author, Jonathan Allen, co-author of the New York Times-bestselling Clinton biography “HRC,” has covered Congress, the White House and elections over the past 15 years. Left wing hack.
And they are complaining. Is it our fault that they are ignorant of geography?
Biden’s illegals flood into the country, and most of the media doesn’t care. But DeSantis and Abbot send a few of them elsewhere, and then suddenly, you have a DOZEN REPORTERS doing a sob story.
I hate the misleadia.

Great term !
Urinalists of the Misleadia !
Florida has e-Verify. I have no idea how closely individual businesses follow that law, however.
Well, they could have been sent to El Paso and given a sheet to cover themselves while they slept on the street. Martha’s Vineyard needs another 200,000 illegals. That’ll give the effing ‘elites’ a taste of the border crisis VP Harris says doesn’t exist.
You need to add Maryland. It became a sanctuary state last November when the legisl00ture, called into a special session to deal with redistricting, took the opportunity to override the governor’s veto of two bills making Maryland into that sanctuary state.
Credit Lazamataz with the original use of that term.
Bernard,
I had a similar idea a few days ago. Not quite as developed as yours, but same thing more or less.
Heck, maybe California could stay at net zero population growth by balancing immigration in vs. residents leaving.
...... Unfortunately it's becomming apparent that the Democrats are now pondering Kidnapping Charges against the Governors for transporting people accross state lines against their will.
They were told they would be provided for by those in ‘their own country’ - they knew the risk - they just don’t like the result.
Sounds like a journalist jobs program.
From the article: “One Venezuelan migrant who arrived at Martha’s Vineyard identified himself as Luis, 27, and said he and nine relatives were promised a flight to Massachusetts, along with shelter, support for 90 days, help with work permits and English lessons. He said they were surprised when their flight landed on an island.”
Um, Martha’s Vineyard IS in Massachusetts.
