A plan to turn a former Boston-area veterans’ home into a shelter for hundreds of migrants has been slammed as “disgusting” by local residents, who say Massachusetts’ services should instead go to the nation’s heroes.

Democratic Gov. Maura Healey announced last week she would convert the historic Chelsea Soldiers’ Home — which was vacant and scheduled for demolition — into a site for 100 migrant families and pregnant women, the Boston Herald reports.

But the proposal comes as veterans continue to face homelessness in the state, with 545 vets experiencing homelessness on a single night in 2023, according to US Housing and Urban Development data.

The local residents who are so disgusted voted for this crap. Shut the hell up and take your medicine.

Boston is loaded with brain washed College girls who have been convinced it is their duty to vote. We were there a few months ago and the snowflakes were everywhere

They voted for it.

There are thousands of homeless veterans all over the country. Why isn’t this ‘soldiers home’ being used to house them?

Americans are tired of getting sh1t on by our garbage communist ruling class.

I’m surprised they haven’t kicked old people out of nursing homes yet.

I plan to vote for Trump in November, but it will take a lot more than him to clean up this country.

My friend’s 98 yr. old mother lives in a senior housing development in a very affluent MA. town. In years past there was a long wait list to secure an apartment but now there a lot of empty apartments. It’s run by the state and the residents are terrified they will move in a bunch of illegals.

Politicians should house them in THEIR MANSIONS

I used to have a regular gig there, serenading our Veterans on their birthday.

Grrrrrr. This makes me SO MAD!

I used to live in Chelsea. It was a dump then and I’m sure it’s a dump now.
