Massachusetts governor declares emergency over immigrants: 'This is a national issue'

"Sanctuary" state Massachusetts is the latest to declare a state of emergency for its inability to respond to thousands of immigrants who have arrived after being released from federal custody at the U.S.-Mexico border.

"This is a national issue that demands a national response," Gov. Maura Healey (D-MA) said during a press conference on Tuesday morning. "Today, I am declaring a state of emergency in Massachusetts."

Healey called on Washington to help Massachusetts because the state could not financially or logistically respond to the 20,000 immigrants living in state-funded shelters, hotels, dormitories, and other emergency facilities statewide — an 80% increase from a year ago.

"It's more families than our state has ever served, exponentially more than our state has ever served in our emergency assistance program," Healey said at the event 2,000 miles away from the southern tip of Texas and the border crisis epicenter.

Although I don't believe that the illegals should be let in at all....since this seems to be the current administration's policy, there is no reason that all states should not share in the "bounty".

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Let's start with the States which cast their electoral votes for Biden.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If she thinks she is going to get relief from Brandon, she doesn't know him or her own party.  She may get some chump change but not enough to help. :tongue2:
