Dozens of Martha's Vineyard volunteers call their experience with migrants 'transformative'

OK, this is going to be a short post, because the tweets in question aren’t getting any traction. Still, we found it so funny we had to do something with it. As you know, Gov. Ron DeSantis sent a flight of 48 Venezuelan migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, a literal island with no infrastructure. Where do you put 48 people on an island? You can’t make it any bigger. And you don’t have a homeless shelter despite advertising yourself as a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.

The governor prepared to mobilize 125 National Guard members to assist with the 48 migrants, and in less than 48 hours, they were bused to a military base on Cape Cod. PolitiFact will have you know they were not “deported,” and that military base is a designated emergency shelter, so the military wasn’t involved or anything like that. All of the migrants agreed to be buses to Cape Cod, just as they agreed to be flown to Martha’s Vineyard.

In that very brief time period, those Martha’s Vineyard residents who interacted with the migrants before kicking them out found the experience “transformative,” according to Eve Zuckoff, a climate change reporter covering Cape Cod.

But we were assured that flying them to Martha’s Vineyard was “cruel.” But now the shelter coordinator there says she doesn’t even “want to go back to being unaware.” So she’s admitting to being unaware. What does she do as shelter coordinator the other 363 days of the year?

How can the experience create lasting change in their community? Why not ask DeSantis to fly in more planefuls of migrants? Has anyone thought of that?
