Massachusetts Gov. Healey warns migrants are pushing state's shelter system to capacity

The statewide emergency family shelter system will reach its capacity by the end of the month, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey warned Monday saying the system has been expanding at an unsustainable rate to handle the demand from newly arriving migrant families.

The migrant families, combined with a slower exit of families already in long-term shelters, means the state is on track to hit its capacity of 7,500 families — or about 24,000 people — by the end of October.

Families are currently spread out across hundreds of locations in 90 cities and towns in a range of facilities, from traditional shelters to hotels and motels to temporary sites like college dorms. About half of those in emergency shelter are children.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
I keep seeeing numbers in the tens of thousands "overwhelming" larger blue cities, and yet, the towns of 5, 10, 25,000 residents are expected to absorb millions of illegals being shipped into the US. This is insanity, and one day will result in war in our streets.

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.
