(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."

LOL. Each was assigned to write ten words. Just like in school when they were assigned to write three sentences instead of a five page paper.
Same thing with Florida and New York.
Without a doubt. I think money is changing hands to encourage the narrative.
They wandered through several countries to cross the border illegally and they’re scared NOW? In Martha’s Vineyard of all places?
Reminds me of an old story when the Dems would round up street people and bus them to vote. Getting off the bus at the polling places they said they were told they were going bowling and given a pack of smokes.
TON! Du bass...it IS MASSACHUSETTS YOU UNGRATEFUL CRIMINAL!
Exactly, hiding in the Hydrangea bushes is softer than cacti.
Why oh why oh why are not all these Compassionate leftists people helping
And why did the first end up in Florida? Florida’s not a border state all right Joe Biden flew them there
A reminder...3.2 MILLION people visit the island every year.
Misled? Exactly who gives two excrements? They break the law by crossing the border. They should be immediately deported. Short of that, force march them to sanctuary jurisdictions.
They needed more people to contribute to the story /s
Entitled illegal aliens ……..doesn’t take them long to learn how it works.
The next post by the Conservate Treehouse features Tucker Carlson’s AWESOME take on the flights to MV.
They ONLY want free education for their kids, free food & housing and free medical care, along with their migrant stipends.
DISGUSTING.
I don’t see the problem. De Santis and Abbot are helping these people. They are sending them to SANCTUARY CITIES, who WANT them.
… Right?
“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...”
As a sanctuary state, that is exactly what Massachusetts offers. It is right on their government site. The folks that promised them a flight there did not fail them. Massachusetts did because they never counted on the misery their sanctuary incentives would visit on the border states would end up in their own back yard
