(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."

The Texas Rangers have a counter espionage department?
Who knew?
Hip hip Hoorah!
Good on Perlita!
Rick had the same problem.
Captain Renault: What in heaven’s name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Captain Renault: The waters? What waters? We’re in the desert.
Rick: I was misinformed.
No doubt they signed documents, written in Spanish - so let’s have a look at what they signed.
If they were told they were being sent to a diverse, loving community that would welcome them with open arms, then that was a vicious lie.
I wonder if these mayors and governors don’t realize how bad they sound by protesting the mirgrants actually migrating. This is what they do. They are helping to EXPOSE the immigration problem that the MSM tries ti ignore.
Misled? MA is going to give them all that and more. Just not on MV.
The Texas Rangers have a counter espionage department?
Hope they’re better at it than the baseball team is at playing baseball.
I imagine some RATs in MV have paid off a few to whine.
If they can make their way for a thousand miles, pay the coyotes, and sneak across the border, they can't get off an island?
They have to be taken care of all of a sudden?
I wonder how many of these illegals think Biden actually invited or enticed them here.
In a way he did, but the country didn't.

/\
I want to see the video of them saying this,,,
,, otherwise I will believe this is a composite fiction created by multiple “ reporters”.
he and NINE relatives were promised.....what the hell? These folks should get flown back to Caracas.
Once they hit “home” they can figure it out from there.
I.e.
Jonathan Allen
Rich McKay in Atlanta
Ted Hesson in Washington;
Rajesh Kumar Singh in Chicago,
Andrea Shalal and Mike Scarcella in Washington,
Nate Raymond in Boston
Kristina Cooke in San Francisco; Mica Rosenberg,
Aurora Ellis,
David Gregorio
Gerry Doyle
12 people for this??
Cry me the Rio Grande!

The story doesn’t add up. If they were told this in San Antonio, how did they get to Florida? You can get to Massachusetts by airplane without going to Florida?
Methinks “Perla” works for the Biden administration, and usually sends people to Florida. Perhaps in Florida there was someone who told them about all the nice things in Massachusetts.
Somebody got paid.
Now that commie Cali governor wants the DOJ to investigate DeSantis and Abbot on Federal kidnapping charges, and Garland apparently is complying.
OUT OF CONTROL.
I can’t wait for this country to split into pieces, it can’t come soon enough.
“He said they were surprised when their flight landed on an island.”
The Left’s scriptwriters are terrible.
