Perhaps she’d like to visit border towns, and see how over-run they are? Isn’t Massachusetts a self declared sanctuary state? They have plenty of room
‘Reaching capacity’: Healey pressures feds to address migrant shelter crisis, appoints new director
With the state’s emergency shelter limit reaching capacity, Gov. Maura Healey on Monday put pressure on federal officials to address the growing migrant crisis, saying state officials can no longer guarantee shelter placement for new families arriving in the state.
Healey also appointed a new emergency assistance director, Air Force Lt. Gen. Leon Scott Rice to oversee management and coordination of the emergency shelter system. Rice, a former director of the Air National Guard, led emergency management teams under former Governors Deval Patrick and Charlie Baker.
The state will not be able to accommodate more than 7,500 families, or approximately 24,000 people, in emergency shelter and will likely hit this number by the end of the month, officials said.
Beginning Nov. 1, the state will no longer be able to add new shelter units. At this time, families seeking shelter will be assessed and those with high needs, such as health and safety risks, will be prioritized for placement, officials said. Families who are not immediately connected with shelter will be placed on a waiting list.
“We do not have enough space, service providers or funds,” Healey told reporters on Monday.
They have a whopping 23,000 illegals in shelters, so, what’s the problem? Certainly this sanctuary state could figure it out, right? They support unfettered illegal immigration, right? Oh, I forgot, that’s as long as the illegals are Somewhere Else.
Of course, their pressure on federal officials is completely wrong-headed: it should be about shutting the border down as much as possible, deporting the heck out of illegals in the U.S., and discouraging foreigners from coming to the U.S. and entering illegally and/or declaring amnesty. Instead, they just want money and such.
Healey said she’s made multiple requests to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for federal funding and improvements to the work authorization process. The governor met with the White House Chief of Staff last week and with Secretary Mayorkas in August.
Abbott and DeSantis need to send a whole bunch of buses to Massachusetts. Seriously, sanctuary cities/states are losing their minds so often that it must be tough for them. Where to send illegals? Mass? NYC? Chicago? Denver? D.C.? Portland? Seattle? LA? There are plenty to send, though, because the border is wide open.
And Mass. is working to provide tons of help with food, clothing, medical, and housing, among others. That just encourages more to come.
Massachusetts is full. Migrants should go home until they have more room.
Almost? Texas will happily send Moar!!
How many do they need to be full? We’ve got plenty of fresh ones coming in every day, ready to ship to where they are wanted.
As long as there’s an available sidewalk, an open City Park, a subway, buses are public school facilities there are plenty of places to put illegal aliens. Especially Muslims. Nice filthy diseased Muslims. With no propensity toward violence and all indications historically that they like to assimilate with the natives.
Funny how when the white man came to all these different places settled them and civilized them we were hated because we were the “colonizers”. Yet strangely when they’re coming to our countries ripping them asunder refusing to assimilate getting more resources and costing us money, healthcare, education, protection we still happen to be the bad guys the colonizers they’re not the colonizers. Go figure.
Less than 7% of immigrants end up in shelters. In the past migrants had help from friends and families, but the migrants from Venezuela often don’t have that support and need help when they first get here.
57% of recent migrants from Venezuela have at least a bachelor’s degree (according to survey done by right of center Washington Institute)
I don’t understand! Yeah, our most brilliant Governor, Greg Abbott, has been sending busload after busload to the sanctuary cities, but, all in all, there weren’t that many people bused up, certainly nowhere close to the actual number of illegal immigrants who crossed into the Lone Star State.
So, if New York City and Chicago and the whole state of Massachusetts are full, why does anyone think Texas and Arizona should be able to absorb them all?
…and?
Johnny-so if I have a bachelor’s degree in something it’s ok for me to break the law? Otherwise, why mention that? It’s “Johnny logic!”
