'I simply feel misled': Migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard speak out; DeSantis vows to keep

relocating migrants

After dozens of migrants arrived in Martha's Vineyard near Cape Cod, some described grueling journeys to the U.S. and feelings of uncertainty after becoming part of a national spectacle.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took credit for flying the group of about 50 to the liberal enclave, part an escalating battle between Republican governors and the White House over immigration.

Carlos Muños said he journeyed from Venezuela to give his four-year-old son the things he didn't have — a meaningful education, the freedom to express his opinions without fear of persecution, a job where he can earn enough money to afford food.

As DeSantis vowed on Friday to continue the program, it has drawn a firestorm of criticism from opponents, including President Joe Biden, who accused DeSantis of "playing politics with human beings, using them as props."

So you're going to continue to use Florida taxpayers' money to relocate people from Texas?

He’s got to be ticked off that his most likely rival in 2024 waltzed into his state and out-stunted him on his own stunt.
