The elites who spend their summers on the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard had their peace rudely shattered in September by the sudden arrival of 50 Venezuelan asylum-seekers.The migrants had been assured they could start new lives there, but the horrified local authorities, insisting there was nowhere to house them on an island heaving with empty multi-million-dollar weekend homes, swiftly sent them packing.Democrats howled with fury when ’s outspoken governor, Ron , admitted he had flown them there.
