Massachusetts National Guard members were officially deployed as "rapid response teams" Wednesday to assist with the state's bursting migrant shelters, as pressure mounts for President Biden to address the crisis in the state.

The move to deploy 250 members comes as Democrat Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency several weeks ago because of the strain on the shelter system.

"Massachusetts is in a state of emergency, and we need all hands-on deck to meet this moment and ensure families have access to safe shelter and basic services," Healy said in a statement.

Well, OM Golly Gee Whiz!

Six thousand (families) is an Emergency?

What about the 7 million pumped into the rest of the country?

We're all supposed to absorb that, but all these Blue States seem to be having trouble with a small fraction of that number.

Send them more. They wanted this, so give it to them, good and hard.
