it is funny how you think their wealth has any bearing whatsoever?
And HERE is what actually: "A coalition of emergency management officials, faith groups, nonprofit agencies and county and town officials were organizing food and shelter for the migrants, who spent Wednesday night at St. Andrews Church in Edgartown. The Salvation Army, among others, was providing food.
In a news release Thursday morning, the Martha's Vineyard Humanitarian Response effort asked that inquiries about how to help be sent by email to EMD@dcsoma.org.

As word spread of the migrants' plight, a crowd of people — many eager to offer assistance — gathered outside the church. Edgartown Police Lt. Chris Dolby urged people not to deliver additional donations.
Speaking outside the parish hall Thursday morning, state Rep. Dylan Fernandes said the situation was under control "with local law enforcement jumping into action."
“People were served breakfast this morning by the parish and served lunch by the school system. We are a community that helps one another and you can see that here,” he said.
Harbor Homes shelter manager Lisa Belcastro, who was overseeing the relief effort at St. Andrew’s, praised the community's outpouring of support.
“We have literally everything we need right now,” she said. “This place is a stopgap — it is not a long term solution. The challenge is at some point we have to move these people…we can’t house anyone here.”
She continued tearfully: “Every single person has come up and said they want a job; they are not looking for a handout. Some of these people have been through horrific things. They need a break. They need help.”

Ms. Belcastro added that St Augustine’s Church was ready in case another influx of migrants should arrive.
