Boston certified 4-star destination for welcoming immigrants

Sanctuary Boston was rewarded for rolling out the red carpet for immigrants with a “4-star certified welcoming designation” from Welcoming America, making it the first Massachusetts city to earn a certification.

Mayor Michelle Wu announced the designation on Monday, saying that it recognizes Boston as a national leader in creating policies, programs, and practices that support immigrant inclusion and belonging.

“Boston has been shaped by generations of immigrants seeking a better future and working hard to build the city we enjoy today,” Wu said in a statement. “I’m proud of the work of our Office for Immigrant Advancement, community partners, and neighborhood and cultural leaders to expand civic engagement, support our communities, and make Boston a city where everyone belongs.”

Most of those immigrants, particularly the Irish, came legally. And worked hard and assimilated. They loved the U.S. Unlike the illegals, who do not assimilate and demand the US provide everything

Wu’s office said Boston met the criteria across all seven areas of the Welcoming Standard, Welcoming America’s roadmap for building inclusive communities: government and community leadership, equitable access, civic engagement, connected communities, education, economic development, and safe communities.

Boston’s 4-star designation falls short of the highest 5-star welcoming rating for immigrant inclusion. Chicago and San Jose, California also earned 4-star ratings this year. San Francisco received the highest 5-star designation.

Daniel Valdez, deputy director of Welcoming America, said Boston has been recognized as the first certified welcoming community in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts spends over $1 billion a year on illegals, with most going to Boston. Boston itself is spending millions of resident money yearly on illegals, such as for legal defense, something they do not give to the Americans who live in Boston.

Wu on Sunday said she plans to use freedom of information laws to try to figure out who wants to lease parking spaces to ICE Boston in order to prevent the agency’s immigration enforcement officers from parking in Boston.

I though FOI laws were meant for government, not private citizens/companies? This is some serious doxxing going on here, where the government is coming after citizens for wholly legally activities that Government doesn’t agree with.
