While some locals have claimed that the illegal immigrants who arrived on this wealthy island should go elsewhere since there won't be work for them with the summer rush gone, the local newspaper listed 50 help-wanted ads in a recent issue, and the local supermarket chain is known to need help all year long. The classified section of The Vineyard Gazette listed more than 50 jobs in the same issue that ran a story about the illegal aliens, referring to them as "stranded migrants." The job ads included positions for laborers, custodians, landscapers, bakers, cooks, dishwashers, technicians, library assistant, and several retail positions. The local YMCA also listed several job openings, including housekeepers, ice arena workers, and a front desk administrator. The spacious Y, near where the immigrants spent the night at the St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, shares a complex with The Martha's Vineyard Community Services, which also ran a help-wanted ad in the paper including a job for administrative assistant "bilingual preferred." On a Saturday afternoon, the large MVCS complex had several doors to its buildings wide open, but no staff could be found.


The women, year-round residents who grew up on the island, pointed to Stop & Shop, a grocery store chain with three locations on the island. According to the women, the stores always look for help... "Martha's Vineyard is a tale of two cities," said one of the women who spoke on the condition of anonymity. But Charles Rus, music director for St. Andrew's, an episcopal church in Edgartown where the migrants were housed.. "There's space, but there's no job," Rus told The Epoch Times. He had offered to put some of the immigrants up in his two-bedroom apartment, "if they had come four months earlier, every one of them would have had a $20/hour job." In response to criticism that the immigrants were forced off the island, Rus said the Venezuelans had to leave the island for "practical reasons," including the need to attend scheduled court hearings.
