Nobody wants to talk about the 50 illegals that were sent to Martha's Vineyard?

    Since I wasn’t there I have no idea.

    We only know what has now been thrown about in the media.

    If I came to a foreign country I would think that I would be told by the authorities where I was going while I awaited asylum. I wouldn’t expect to be given a wish list of destinations to chose from and I likely would be glad as pretty much anywhere they are sent to in this country seems to be better than where they came from..

    Since they literally printed off the info form the state of Mass immigration website perhaps the issue should be with the state of Mass for false advertising… ;)

    By "what has been thrown about in the media" you mean what the people involved have actually said. And when they said they were promised jobs and housing - even though there were none waiting for them - you don't think they're telling the truth?

    That makes zero sense in terms of whether they were tricked or not. No one is saying that they should be given a wish list of destinations.

    We’re the buses full of asylum seekers given jobs when they were bussed to Florida in the middle of the night?
    Are there no jobs and housing in the great state of Mass despite what their own website promises?

    Regardless my original point is they weren’t “kidnapped” and you know it.

    The term "human trafficked" is more accurate but it falls into the category of kidnapping also.

    Go play your semantics games someone else. It was scummy to do this and perfectly typical of our POS gubnor.

    I don't know. But that has nothing to do with the migrants who were flown to Martha's Vineyard, does it?


    I imagine there are some places in the state. Probably not on Martha's Vineyard,

    I never said they were kidnapped. I asked you if you thought they were misled, and you said you don't know. But the migrants themselves said they were promised jobs and housing, yet they were flown to a place that had neither for them.
    So what do you think? Do you think the migrants might have been telling the truth, or do you the woman who recruited them for the flight told them the complete truth about where they were going: That not only were there no jobs nor housing awaiting them, but they were being flown to an extremely wealthy area where they were extremely unlikely to be able to afford to live?

    What's your thought?
