House Democrats on Friday defeated a Republican bid to restrict migrants’ access to the state’s overflowing emergency family shelter system, a day after the Legislature shipped a supplemental budget to Gov. Maura Healey that would impose a new nine-month limit on shelter stays.

With House Speaker Ron Mariano at the rostrum, lawmakers rejected amendments from Rep. Paul Frost that aimed to install a three-month residency requirement for family shelter and to prioritize Massachusetts residents on the shelter waitlist. Lawmakers rejected Amendment 1393, emergency housing assistance requirements, on a 30-127 roll call vote, and they rejected Amendment 1394, prioritizing Massachusetts residents on the waitlist for emergency housing assistance, on a 27-131 roll call vote.

One thing about Joey Bidenskyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy’s “Let’s Go Brandon” administration, he brought American veterans down to the bottom rung on the respect ladder (The Lawyer Rung). The people don’t GAS about vets anymore. Just from my observations out in public.

Every veteran, their families and friends should remember this come election day.

[Gay State Conservative]

Those who are most familiar with how things work in The Gay State (Massachusetts) aren’t even slightly surprised by this.

[Regulator]

They should be on the streets now

[CatOwner]

Besides the whining and bitching, when does the pushback start? Ever??

[Striperman]

Vets vote republican, migrants democrat there it is

[massmike]

With the welfare class,the college elitites,the unions,and those that still faithfully vote Democrat as a kind of sacrificial offering to the ghost of JFK,we’re slightly outnumbered.

They won't. It's more important that we can kill babies and get stoned over it than this.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yep.

[glorgau]

However, in the finest tradition of lip service, the legislators did say “Thank you for your service”.

The actual words used were “”Gracias por los servicios prestados”.

Say it LOUD.

(Agrees this Veteran, although from a nice Red State that would not consider such an anti-Veteran stance.)

How will Democrats get votes after policies like this and the rest of the trainwreck they have perpetrated? Voter fraud?

[logi_cal869]

Dear Russia,

Please add the state of Massachusetts to your ‘decision-making centers’ targeting; it will send a fine message.

Thanks in advance.

Migrants? Is that a euphemism for ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS???

[blueunicorn6]

Those migrants have done so much for our country.

Stupidly coming here to be slaves for wealthy Democrats.

[ducttape45]

And move out of that state.

[sten]

they would rather continue flooding the state with illegals, putting them in public housing while covering their expenses, while actual citizens of the state go homeless and have to live on the streets.

ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME?!
