Maura Healey criticized for failing to act to stop exploding migrant crisis in Massachusetts

Even as criticism continues to reverberate for the Army-Navy game hotel debacle, Gov. Maura Healey has failed to take aggressive steps to stop the flow of migrants into Massachusetts.

Healey in fact has called for smoothing the way for migrants to come into the state and work here while spending more than a million dollars a day contracting with hotels in overwhelmed cities and towns to house the migrants.

“All of her statements and actions indicate she is supportive of the resettlement of these migrants into Massachusetts,” said Jessica Vaughan, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “She’s not interested in alleviating the effects of this influx on cities and towns in Massachusetts. She’s not interested in considering any negative effects on citizens of the Commonwealth.”

Healey has also declared a state of emergency but has done nothing to try and reverse the state’s “right to shelter” law that is creating the migrant crisis.

All she’s done is complain about the Biden administration and Congress for creating the problem.

Healey’s office allowed her to be positioned against veterans in the fight for hotels for the Army-Navy game at Gillette Stadium while only her most liberal defenders are blaming it on hotels for canceling reservations or the “right wing” media.

As the Herald first reported, scores of military families and service academy members had their rooms taken back for the Dec. 9 game in Foxboro by local hotels that recently signed lucrative contracts with the state to house migrants.

The story drew national attention and forced Healey – who through the ineptitude of her office at first ignored the problem – to respond publicly.

In the eyes of military families across country Healey is perceived putting migrants ahead of veterans, and she now realizes it and is trying to spin it.

Gee. I don’t see the word “Democrat” anywhere here. Or maybe I just missed it.

Aren’t people in this country free to travel and associate? I should think leftist democrats would recognize these new residents have the same freedoms they do? That is unless they think these new residents don’t share those same rights? Seeing them as a second class group of citizens with few rights? You know, like slaves?

So... If you live in America and you’re homeless, you would be far better off going to a border point and pretending that you’re an illegal immigrant, and then you get a fresh hotel room with clean linens every day... Good to know.

LOL...the governors who shipped their illegal invaders to Mass boxed her in. There’s no way out of the box for her.

Maybe she can coerce all the Mexican restaurants in Greater Boston, Foxborough, Worcester, Salem, Marblehead, etc to give them jobs making tacos.

They only want 55% of the people dependent on government, then the Democrats win. They want to illegals to move to Republican states to get them up to the 55% level. The illegals are not cooperating.

now Americans can’t even go on vacations without worrying about rapes and robberies from illegals in your hotel or getting bed bugs or worse. All because of bleeding heart scum idiots selling out our country.

Everything I ever needed to know about how The Authorities really feel about climate change or migrant housing, is embodied in Obama's home on Martha's Vineyard.

No, you didn’t miss it. They just used the pseudonym: “Massachusetts”.

“DID the hotels have any choice???”

They did, but the state booked the rooms for a year at full price.

The illegals also get free food, EBT cards abd free healthcare via MassHealth.
