(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."

You should be. Haven't you heard that America is a racist violent country filled with white supremacists?
They should investigate how they are getting these promised work permits.
Mark my words. Desantis or his aides will be raided by the FBI over this.
The other side is playing for keeps and they hold all the chips.
Yes, that is precisely correct.
Kidnapping charges and transporting across state lines.
Why wasn’t the names of the immigrants who said this given by Jonathan Allen

The better question is how did they get to Florida in the first place? We’re not on the border. Did they take a cruise or what?
Given that the phrase, “illegal aliens” has been deemed taboo, I suggest a new term to use:
Criminals
If they were lied to, to get them to travel, that dies not sit well with me. Tell them the truth: “We’re sending you to a place with a lot of rich people. They hire people to do almost everything for them. Most of them are liberals or progressives, who say we should help the underprivileged.”
Besides, since when do they get a choice to go or not go where we want to send them?
The FBI attempting to arrest the governor will be arrested and detained for violation of Florida law
There will be no bail because of flight risk
Unnmmmm. I thought that Martha’s Vineyard was in Mass.
Mark my words. Desantis or his aides will be raided by the FBI over this. The other side is playing for keeps and they hold all the chips.
Kidnapping charges and transporting across state lines.

. wonder if they will go after Newsome if/ when his state transports minors without parental consent across state lines for gender reassignment surgery ?
Wait. They think that there are no islands in Mass?
Did they literally go to the state they were told?
So, what kind of “journalism” is this supposed to be? Other than a smear job?
[[”We are scared,” he said, adding he and others felt they were lied to. “I hope they give us help.”]]
Why? What are you going to do to help our nation? Go on welfare for life?
Kick them back over the fence, problem solved
You’re Illegals you go wherever you’re told to go and like it or GO HOME
5 million since the overthrow of our government in January of 2021. Closer to 75 million overall.
He's just a smart aleck kid, he'll never make it in the big leagues where he will actually face competition.
The scum on The left now want desantis Investigated for “kidnapping”. The left’s mental breakdown is truly fun to watch
B S!!! They walked North without a known destination, so why would they CARE about their final destination once they crosed the boarder?
