Martha’s Vineyard Residents Fought Cruelty With Kindness
The man who recruited the planeload of migrants who flew to Martha's Vineyard from Texas under an arrangement with Florida officials spoke out for the first time earlier this week to CNN.
He had been living on the streets of San Antonio when he was approached by a woman named Perla who offered him food, clothes and money, and then lied to him about how to recruit migrants for the flight."She had told me that the people who were going to Massachusetts, before I sent them, she had told me that they were going to receive them.
They were going to be given shelter, a place to stay. They were going to help them with the language, and those who had children, they were going to study," he said.And late last week, a class action lawsuit was filed against Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis, Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Jared Perdue, the state of Florida, and the state Department of Transportation in response to the lies and the calculated cruelty that was inflicted upon the migrants.Cruelty is defined as the “callous indifference to or pleasure in causing pain and suffering.” It is a harsh word, even when spoken.
