Florida and Texas are flying migrants to this island in Massachusetts

On September 15th, 2022, Texas governor tweeted that he has transported two busses, totaling over 100 people outside of Kamala Harris' residence on the small island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.

Texas dropped off two buses of migrants outside VP Kamala Harris' residence in Washington, D.C. today.

We will continue sending migrants to sanctuary cities like D.C. until Pres. Biden & Border Czar Harris step up & do their jobs to secure the border. https://t.co/95xlAlCFDf

A press release from the governor's office reported that migrants were "from the countries of Colombia, Cuba, Guyana, Nicaragua, Panama, and Venezuela." Soon after, Florida governor Ron Desantis tweeted that he would "gladly facilitate the transport of illegal immigrants to sanctuary jurisdictions."

In Florida, we take what is happening at the southern border seriously.

Many of these migrants have just been allowed into the United States, with little or no food and money of their own. NPR reported that "A number of migrants told NPR their flight originated in San Antonio, and that they were being transported to Boston, not Martha's Vineyard." Many more reports show that many people were from San Antonio and were lied to that they would recieve "shelter, support for 90 days, help with work permits and English lessons," said Reuters
