You are misunderstanding me... I wasn't saying that was one of the differences, I was saying that in regards to your statement about "do you think migrants called the army base". (Basically, no... I don't. Obviously.)
"What was supposed to happen?"
Based on what I've read, what was supposed to happen (aka what they were told) was that they were going to Boston and there would be jobs, housing, and help with their legal immigration stuff waiting for them there. Of course none of that was waiting for them where they were actually going.
But they weren't deported and they weren't thrown in jail. That's what sanctuary city basically means. The local police won't participate with ICE. Theoretically I don't think they can necessarily stop ICE, but ya, no. Martha's vineyard is still considered a sanctuary city. And no they're not hypocrites. The base is giving them what they need to help proceed in becoming productive members of our society. I'm sure if their names are ever disclosed, locals will probably hire the infamous "Martha's Vineyard" migrants to work for them. I understand they've already got roughly $300,000 in donations.
