Migrant crisis projected to cost Massachusetts taxpayers $1.8 billion over next two years
“This cohort represents a potential fiscal time bomb in terms of welfare costs, beginning in 2026," Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies wrote.

A new report analyzed the impact the migrant crisis will have on Massachusetts residents with the state projecting to spend $1.8 billion over the next two years, making it a potential "fiscal time bomb."

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released a report on July 24, which predicted The Bay State will struggle to manage the growing number of migrants coming to the state.

"The cost to Massachusetts taxpayers of temporary housing and shelters is enormous, but it pales in comparison to the costs that will accumulate in the future if those in the temporary shelters today remain in the Commonwealth for the long term," CIS director of policy studies Jessica Vaughan wrote.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I would guess that to be such a lowball estimate it was rolled to the media.  And how much have they cost the taxpayers already? :pondering:

They are low-balling it ... let's see the Mass state budget deficits for the next two fiscal years ... I'm sure those numbers don't include the education costs, specifically the Special Education costs.

They're costing all of us taxpayers - from every state - gobs of money. Check out this tweet about the illegals and their food stamps:
