So it seems the snobs on Martha’s Vineyard aren’t so welcoming to illegal migrants after all. The snobs on Martha’s Vineyard are shipping the migrants to Cape Cod, because you know, 50 illegal migrants is a “humanitarian crisis” for the rich, arrogant elites at Martha’s Vineyard. Funny how that works.
The 50 migrants who came to Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday afternoon from Texas on a plane chartered by Florida’s government were moved Friday morning from the island’s only shelter. Officials announced the migrants will have temporary housing on Joint Base Cape Cod in Buzzards Bay.
The 50 migrants — 49 from Venezuela and one from Peru — told GBH reporters that they were instructed to get on the charter flight with a false promise of jobs. Instead, they were dropped on Martha’s Vineyard with no notice to local government or social services officials, leaving people on the island scrambling to provide food, shelter and basic needs.
