Families who claim eligibility for state-run shelter handed month-long benefits worth $15,000
Story by Chris Van Buskirk, Boston Herald • 3h

BOSTON —Families seeking access to taxpayer-funded shelters who claim eligibility for benefits receive up to $15,000 in services and housing during the month it takes state officials to determine whether they actually belong in the emergency assistance program, the Healey administration said.
 
Thousands of families have flooded the state’s emergency assistance shelter program over the past year and a half, including migrants from other countries, but the Healey administration said state law bars them from verifying basic eligibility requirements prior to their initial placement.

Instead, top deputies for Gov. Maura Healey said they must approve up to one month of housing — or between $10,000 to $15,000 worth of services — for families “who appear to be eligible for shelter based on statements” they provide and any information the state has in its possession.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Speaking of illegals showing up at shelters, I came across these posts on X:

I knew that our country was being flooded with illegal immigrants when the homeless shelter I used to volunteer at went from housing nice polite elderly Americans who fell on hard times to having young angry looking foreign men who would never say please or thank and had the vacant look behind their eyes.

Instead of polite slightly embarrassed elderly lady who had no one to spend Thanksgiving with you would get an African or Latino male who didn’t even look at you when you served him food. That started happening around 2 years ago

Poor people in the west are very different from poor people in developed world, the former are usually embarrassed by their circumstances and want to get out
