Fox News
Martha's Vineyard residents say 50 migrants had to be shipped to a mainland military base because the island lacks resources, yet real estate and state data indicate the island is awash in resources.
The migrants landed at around 3 p.m. on Wednesday. By 11 a.m. on Friday, they were shipped off the island. Homeowners on Chilmark, where the Obamas boast a $12M spread, enjoy a 0.28% property tax rate. Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
