(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."

Should have been flown right back to Venezuela, but MV was still fun to see.
They did get a flight to MA as promised..
Doesn’t Obama have a house there? Or the Clintons? How many migrants are they hosting?
Yep
They’re welcome to leave the country any time they wish.
More scary than the trek from their homeland? I'm sure there's a Soros NGO representative coaching this narrative in order for Fedzilla to go after Abbott and DeSantis. Pure B.S.
agree on this 100%. hate to see 1 penny being spent to ship them within the US, but it is amazing to watch the gnashing of teeth
Uh huh. Sure, Luis.
How much did Jonathan Allen fork over to have you say that?
Sounds like Luis also needs geography lessons.
Get your asses back to your own country then!
Too bad, so sad.
Oh no, they’ve been misled.
They are illegal aliens!
This is insanity.
“movin on up...”
To be sure they were interviewed and video’d making their decision— proving what was presented to them and their decision on record by “the name they gave”.
This entire backlash from the Soros peeps and joebama mayorkasites-— is thrown together and... for the media to repeat the absolute LIE. A matter of timing of the actual agreement for the bussed and flown ILLEGAL aliens. Who do not— have any citizen’s rights. The States have the right to disburse entrants to the State which were not informed of them (which is virtually every one of them having to find out about middle of the night flights, for example to jacksonville, FL - FL Dept of Law Enforcement undercovers found this out).
Free geography classes too?
Hey, governor Abbott and DeSantis started it they better not pull back! This is a sign of strength and fairness they better continue those flights! Even if it’s in the dark of the night!’ Those racist billionaires need to have a taste of what us people are going through that live on the border! I salute you and the majority of the American people who are being affected by the 5 million invaders that have invaded our nation. Keep going, keep doing it Ship thousands and thousands of them to their door steps!
These illegal aliens, now that they’ve seen the nice houses on Martha’s Vineyard, can continually ask their Democrat handlers why they can’t stay in a place like that.
Oh. That’s so sad - they were duped. Maybe next time don’t come in here illegally.
