YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDozens of migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts on the orders of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are moving to housing on a military base on Cape Cod.
Migrants bid farewell to dozens of volunteers who helped them since their unexpected arrival at the upscale island destination, and posed for photographs with their friends and benefactors before boarding a convoy of buses that took them to the ferry terminal.
Those leaving include at least one visibly pregnant woman with a toddler and young girl in tow.
Migrants repeatedly shouted "thank you" in Spanish as they waited for and boarded their buses.
A group of young Martha's Vineyard girls ran alongside one of the buses looking to bid another farewell to some of the young migrant girls they had befriended during their brief stay at the island.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker says the move Friday is voluntary.
Those migrants who decide to make the trip will receive food and services and be housed in dormitory-type lodging, with separate quarters for families.
Authorities haven't said what will happen to those who want to stay put.
Baker has praised the residents of Martha's Vineyard for caring for the migrants, who are mostly from Venezuela, but says the island lacks the resources to provide long-term care.
DeSantis, a Republican, has said the flights to Martha's Vineyard are part of an effort to "transport illegal immigrants to sanctuary destinations."
