Massachusetts has eight sanctuary cities: Amherst, Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Concord, Newton, Northampton, and Somerville.
That’s why Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent a bunch of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard. Also, he wanted to expose the liberal hypocrisy.
Easier said than done!
Migrants have overwhelmed the small state. Gov. Maura Healey activated the National Guard:
The move comes after the governor declared a state of emergency several weeks ago because of the strain on the shelter system.“Massachusetts is in a state of emergency, and we need all hands-on deck to meet this moment and ensure families have access to safe shelter and basic services,” Healy said in a statement.There are currently about 6,000 families, including pregnant women and children, in emergency shelters in Massachusetts.
The National Guard will receive a hotel assignment to help coordinate services for the migrants.
Other members will attend local schools to help with enrollment.
The cities don’t know where to house the migrants. Residents are ticked because they want the cities and states to care for the taxpayers first:
Dozens of protesters came out Saturday to the Yarmouth Resort motel, where the state hopes to set aside 100 units for migrant families, many of whom include Haitian immigrants displaced by natural disasters.The protesters claimed that the state has prioritized the need of the migrants over the need of its own homeless residents, including veterans, with many at the rally flashing signs that read, “Vets and Cape Homeless First!!”The hotel in Yarmouth is just one of more than 1,500 temporary hotels and new shelters set up across the state since 2022.The state’s Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities said in a statement, “The administration is exploring all options to expand family shelter capacity to meet rising demand.”
