Nearly 50 Venezuelans were flown to Martha's Vineyard from Texas under what they said was a false pretense, but they expressed gratitude Thursday for the way locals gathered to support them. WBUR
Cyclists and drivers of automobiles pass by the scene at St. Andrew’s Parish House in Edgartown where dozens of migrants from Venezuela were transported from the South to Martha Vineyard.
After applying for asylum, they were released in San Antonio, Texas, where they said a woman who identified herself just as “Perla” offered to help. Several of the Venezuelans said even though Perla didn’t show ID, she succeeded in enticing them to go along. They boarded planes in Texas and on Wednesday afternoon, they arrived on Martha’s Vineyard with no one to receive them."Everybody's taking our pictures and interviewing us," he said."That’s not what we were expecting."
"When we got here we were worried," she said,"but now we’re relaxed because the people here have given us so much help. I feel very comfortable here."
