........ Republicans frequently refer to people who aren’t American citizens but cross into the country as “illegal immigrants,” but many of them are asylum-seekers who have been allowed to enter the country pending the outcomes of their legal cases. ............... “Not one person has asked for a handout; they have asked to work.” ............ In recent years, 7 million Venezuelans have fled, making it the largest displacement in the Western Hemisphere ................. .............. In a McDonald’s parking lot near the Migrant Resource Center, a blonde woman who spoke Spanish, though not well, approached Linares and offered him a proposition similar to the ones made to others. She’s believed to be the same woman who approached most of the migrants. She guaranteed him a job and a free trip to islands off the coast of Massachusetts. ................. LULAC is offering a $5,000 reward for information about the woman known as Perla. LULAC President Domingo Garcia traveled to Martha’s Vineyard on Friday and spoke with a handful of migrants about their experiences traveling to Massachusetts. Their stories of Perla and the false promises she made were almost identical. “They were under the impression that they were being offered jobs,” Garcia told The Texas Tribune. “They didn’t realize that they were being taken to Martha’s Vineyard, they didn’t know where Martha’s Vineyard was, and of course, [that] they were being used as political props by Gov. DeSantis.” Garcia said he plans to file a criminal complaint with the Bexar County district attorney against the woman who promised jobs to asylum-seekers, who cannot legally work in the United States while waiting to have an asylum claim heard. He says Perla, in promising work to the migrants, conspired and abetted the criminal offense of working in the U.S. without a work permit. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, said that the migrants were relocated to the Joint Base Cape Cod in Bourne, Massachusetts, where temporary shelter was offered. “Our Administration has been working across state government to develop a plan to ensure these individuals will have access to the services they need going forward, and Joint Base Cape Cod is well equipped to serve these needs,” Baker said in a statement Friday. Pablo, 27, was one of the migrants headed there Friday. He said he was impressed with how the Massachusetts authorities quickly reacted to get the group the help it needed. “It is a great country, with many opportunities, and we come to add, to try to be part of society,” he said. ........... https://www.texastribune.org/2022/09/16/migrants-texas-massachusetts-ron-desantis/ Bigoted Republicans say these refugees are trash and we should hate and revile them like they do. I think they're potentially good future Americans as good or better than Trumpers ancestors.
