A Cambridge state representative says the migrant crisis has reached a “real boiling point” and is blaming the secretary of state for refusing to consider shifting an overflow shelter at an old courthouse into a 24/7 operation.
Rep. Mike Connolly, a Democrat whose district encompasses the old courthouse in East Cambridge, told the Herald on Saturday that he, city officials, and the rest of the city’s state delegation, have been “begging” Secretary William Galvin for weeks to run the shelter around the clock, but Galvin hasn’t budged.
The conflict has reached a point where the Cambridge City Council, Public Schools, Health Alliance and Public Health Department will be sending a letter to Galvin this week to make their request publicly known, Connolly said.
“The city of Cambridge has truly gone above and beyond,” he said. “Our complaint is the state is actually standing in the way of allowing us to do all we can to serve this vulnerable population.”
“It’s reached a real boiling point I think for a lot of us who are trying our best to navigate a very challenging situation for everyone,” Connolly added.
Connolly’s comments came after the United Way of Massachusetts Bay announced Friday that it awarded a grant to La Colaborativa, an immigrant social services nonprofit, to open a day shelter in Chelsea for families who’ve been spending nights at the Cambridge courthouse.

Send them back to their home countries for shelter ...problem solved...they were told NOT to come here. so US citizens are not responsible to acquire them shelter.
Why not have the infestation spread to college campuses?

If Galvin would get off his ass and make it a 24/7 operation, my Governor could double the number of “better life” refugees he ships up to Cambridge. I imagine these refugees looking for a better life have already doubled the average I.Q. in Cambridge.

Hey Gov Abbott, Massachusetts Desperately needs another hundred thousand or so Illegal Aliens
With respect, you are incorrect. Make their home countries pay for their illegal aliens. Shelter, health care, welfare, whatever, every cent of their cost, including the return home flight. And make it stick. I suspect their home countries would stop the illegal alien invasion and make the invaders here return home pronto.
There are funders behind this invasion
