First Wave of Illegal Immigrants Moved Into Empty Prison in Norfolk, MA
“Norfolk, a town of about 11,000 residents, has one ambulance, one gas station and no grocery stores.”
The former prison in Norfolk, MA that the state has converted into housing for illegal immigrants is now receiving its first residents. Locals made their objections known right up to the end, but it didn’t matter because the property is owned by the state.
Norfolk is about to see a significant increase in population.
CBS News reports:
First migrant families move into emergency shelter at old Massachusetts prison, despite protest
The first migrant families have moved into an emergency shelter at the old Bay State Correctional Center in Norfolk, Massachusetts.
This is the state’s latest attempt to ease the migrant crisis in Massachusetts, but the move has divided the town. Residents are worried it will strain Norfolk’s resources and add pressure to the school system.
Norfolk, a town of about 11,000 residents, has one ambulance, one gas station and no grocery stores.
On Wednesday, the state said more than 20 families had been moved into the shelter and that up to 450 people would live in the former minimum-security prison. That would include about 150 school-aged children who would need a seat in a Norfolk classroom.
Benjamin Sprague has two children in Norfolk’s schools. He showed up to a rally in the center of town on Wednesday.
“It’s like Boston getting 25,000 people, that’s a four-and-a-half percent population increase overnight,” he told WBZ-TV.
“There is no music room anymore. They have to do music inside the classroom, so how are they going to adjust to have that many children enter into the school system and not have an impact on everything else.”
At the same time, Logan Airport in Boston, which has begun to resemble a refugee camp in recent months, is about to be cleared out. Many of these people will be relocated to Norfolk.

Migrants to be booted from Logan Airport, governor says sanctuary state is full
Migrants sleeping on the floors of Boston’s Logan International Airport will soon be banned from doing so and Massachusetts officials are telling migrants currently at the southern border that its shelter system is out of space.
More than 100 migrants have been using the facility as a shelter — lining the floors of Boston’s main air hub with makeshift beds and air mattresses — but they will be prohibited from doing so from July 9 and instead be offered free tax-payer-funded accommodation at a former minimum-security dorm-like facility in Norfolk, Gov. Maura Healey announced Friday…
The migrants will also be offered transfers to other new “safety-net” sites, the Healey administration said.
“The administration has worked diligently in recent months to increase the number of families leaving shelter into more stable housing,” the state’s emergency assistance director, Scott Rice, said in a statement.
Governor Healey is finally trying to stem the flow of people, way too late.

‘Sanctuary’ State Governor Tells Illegal Immigrants Not To Come: ‘Lack Of Shelter Space’
The governor of Massachusetts deployed state officials to border communities to warn illegal immigrants not to go to her state because the migrant shelters are already full, according to a report from Politico.
Democratic Gov. Maura Healey is sending five state officials to several Texas communities from Sunday through Wednesday to inform non-governmental immigration organizations and other border officials that her state’s emergency system is too overwhelmed and cannot accept any more migrant families, according to Politico. The actions come despite state and local policies that largely qualify Massachusetts as a “sanctuary” jurisdiction.
“This trip is an important opportunity to meet with families arriving in the U.S. and the organizations that work with them at the border to make sure they have accurate information about the lack of shelter space in Massachusetts,” L. Scott Rice, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant general the governor chose to lead the shelter system, stated to Politico.
I do not expect Massachusetts to go red in November, but I am looking forward to seeing how this issue changes voting in certain towns, like Norfolk, if at all.

Getting them acclimated early?
I’m sure they will set up a voting location there.
They will NEVER leave. Club Med in Norfolk…
OMG, the horror! AOC is a Boston University alum. Has anyone told her that Massachusetts, not Trump, is literally putting illegal immigrants into cages?
“Norfolk is about to see a significant increase in population.”
And crime. And litter. And drugs. And general ugliness.
There should be no sympathy for the Massachusetts voters however who continue and dependably vote Democrat.
The key word is “significant” as in considerable and of course, sadly enough, completely unnecessary and avoidable.
Don’t forget the murders and rapes!
“150 school-aged children who would need a seat in a Norfolk classroom.”
This is the sixties all over again, schools will turn to shit as crime rises, real estate values will drop like a rock. People’s equity in homes will evaporate. The winners will be those poor misunderstood people will benefit.
When will expulsion of illegals start?.
A. Never if Democrats remain as your lawmakers.
After all of the immigrants have offended it will put prove convenient. The prison can be re-certified; thus relieving penal overcrowding.
so from the obama cages for children to the housing prisons for the lefty invitees of biden
the slavery that the left is known for continues
How does a town off 11,000 not have a grocery store and only one gas station? It should have 2 or 3 grocery stores and 10 to 15 gas stations.
Thank the crap economy I guess.
In Massachusetts. they let you see what it would be like to be incarcerated in the off chance they prosecute you and you have to spend a couple of years there.
In Texas. they let you feel what it would be like to lie in a pine box because if you rape and kill somebody in Texas that’s where you’ll go after they execute your A$$..
Well, that’s a surprisingly appropriate place to house a bunch of criminals.
Can’t have these illegals making a nuisance for the important people and clogging up the important places so the State gonna dump them out in hard pressed areas like this where the little people without significant political power reside.
Children in cages??
Why the deafening silence from dems??

Heh . . . “Paging Gov. Abbott! Paging Gov. Abbott! /s
We’re such virtue-signaling saints over here. It would be WRONG of us to enforce our borders against POOR VICTIMS who are ONLY looking for a better life, not when we can entice them to walk across continents to get here, and then pack the into abandoned prisons!
Boston channeling Otter: “Immigrants — you fucked up! You trusted us!”
It’s Democrat Slave Trade 2.0, where the slaves provide their own transportation cost, but nobody gets any rum.
“Democratic Gov. Maura Healey is sending five state officials to several Texas communities from Sunday through Wednesday to inform non-governmental immigration organizations and other border officials that her state’s emergency system is too overwhelmed and cannot accept any more migrant families”
Aw, cry me a river, Democrat bitchez.
They’re still showing up at this end, so you’ll continue to take your share and like it.
They’re gonna laugh you right out of the state, which you will be hearing for a long time because it’s a pretty big state.
What a darn shame this is happening to a nice liberal state like Massachusetts.
Texas should double and triple the amount of illegals it is sending to Mass immediately to show them and everyone the real cost of Biden’s open borders.
“Trump puts illegals in cages” (forget its an Obama thing)
“Progressives put them in Prison”
Stop with the “migrant” crap. They are Illegal Aliens. Illegal.

‘Handy’ is the only word that comes to mind. Hope nobody accidently locks the gates.
Maura Healey is a dismal failure, she OWNS this. Massachusetts remains the only state with a misguided “right to shelter” law, but with the invasion underway, she refused any attempts to modify the law’s terms. The could have simply required a residency rule, but nooooooooooo.
Morons leading other morons.
Massachusetts legislators are infamous for passing laws without even a sixth-grade level of proofreading.
They passed one that made veterans felons for marching in parades with real, deactivated, or even replica firearms.
They passed another that required them to have the “giant ladder crew” called so they could install a trigger lock on the historic smoothbore flintlock of Captain John Parker that hangs from the ceiling of the statehouse.
They passed a real howler that forbade any handgun from being sold in the state unless it FAILED(!) the drop safety test required by that law.
Same thing is happening in Lexington, MA. Little used National Guard barracks to be used to shelter migrants. Town tried to present it as wonderful, as what the militia came out to confront on April 19, 1775. That alone is ahistorical hooey, but when I asked who would pay for local police, fire, and EMTs, that is would the State reimburse Lexington to all related local expenses caused by this of course I got no answer.
Expecting payment is so mercenary.
You are being lovingly rewarded for your loyal votes.
