Massachusetts governor declares state of emergency over migrant influx
NY Post ^ | 08/08/2023 | Ryan King

Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency Tuesday over the flood of migrants pouring into her deep blue state and straining emergency resources.

Healey urged the federal government to step up support for the crisis, which she claims has caused a “severe lack of shelter availability.”

“I am declaring a state of emergency in Massachusetts and urging my partners in the federal government to take the action we need to address this crisis by streamlining the work authorization process and passing comprehensive immigration reform,” she said in a statement.

According to commonwealth officials, there are currently around 5,600 families — more than 20,000 individuals — in state shelters.

Who knew that being a real sanctuary state would be so hard. Virtual signaling is so much easier.

This is a mass invasion of our country. The federal government has a constitutional requirement to prevent it. Therefore we have treason going on.

If that small number is enough for Mass to declare a state of emergency, then, all of the states actually bordering Mexico and declare emergencies many times that size. Texas has taken in millions and so has Arizona.

What do these Massachusetts cities have in common? They are all "sanctuary cities." Suck it up, cupcakes, you asked for it. What, exactly, did you think would happen?

I'll bet your virtue signaling is not so sweet now, is it?

In the mid 1990s, I tried to tell folks the Illegal Immigration
issue was the problem of every citizen in every district.

I was told it was California’s problem. I pointed out
California does not set immigration law, and folks just
laughed.

Thirty years later, guess what it is. It’s the problem of
every citizen in every district.

Constitution be damned! Past and current administrations have given our money to anyone they choose without House authorization. Let's see if McCarthy does anything to stop Biden from funneling federal (read our) money to states like Massachusetts that are now crying "emergency". I won't hold my breath.

The Founding Fathers and authors of our Constitution are rolling in their graves.

Logical consequences escape Democrats. I guess she doesn’t understand when you put out the sanctuary state welcome mat to illegals, they come. She might want to see the Field of Dreams and get acquainted with the “Build it and they will come” logical syllogism

It’s more than just the USA. Canada and Western Europe has the same problem.

The entire Third World is bent on moving here and there, from whatever, as Donald Trump so rightly put it, “$#ithole” country they’re leaving.

I don’t know what will ever done about it. I think this is the fifth mass wave of immigration in human history. First, was the American Indians into the Americas, Then the Indo-Europeans into Europe, then the Barbarians and Germanic/Hun tribes into the Roman Empire, and then the Western Europeans into North and South America, Australia, New Zealand (South Africa, a little).

Will the last African leaving Africa for Europe please turn out the lights? Middle Easterners, too.

How embarrassing—complaining about an influx of 20,000 out of the 1.8M illegal border busters Biden and Harris have unleashed on the nation—the democRATs should strip her of her ‘woke’ status.
