Lynn officials: Illegal immigrant children are stressing city services

LYNN, Mass. -- Lynn is a municipality on the brink. Key department officials say a recent influx of illegal immigrant children and families in the city is stressing almost every service from trash collection to healthcare.

"We have been aware of the unaccompanied children issue for quite a while, and we were able to absorb a lot of these children early on," said Lynn Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy. "But now it's gotten to the point where the school system is overwhelmed, our health department is overwhelmed, the city's budget is being sustainably altered in order of accommodate all of these admissions in the school department."

Flanagan Kennedy says the first contact for immigrant arrivals in the city is the school system.

The amount of new foreign born student admissions has nearly doubled in the last two years. This school year alone saw more than 600 new admissions. Among those students, 248 were from Guatemala. Flanagan Kennedy says of those 248 children, 126 were illegal, undocumented minors.

Just A Reminder


The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".

Cloward and Piven were a married couple who were both professors at the Columbia University School of Social Work.

The strategy was formulated in a May 1966 article in the liberal magazine "The Nation" titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty"

It's our humane duty to accept the victims and fix the problem causing the mass emigration from corrupt, crime-ridden countries. A modest proposal.

For every child we take in we drop one bomb on criminal and corrupt ruling class targets.

Special consideration for Mexicorruption. Arturo Sarukhan, a top official in Mexico[rruption]'s foreign ministry [among other Mexicorruption ruling class], said [vis-a-vis their tactics]:"How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."

We squash the corrupt ruling class.

*Illegal immigrant children are stressing city services*

They've been doing that for decades.

I'm glad people are finally coming out of their Van Winkle-esque stupor!

The city should put them on a bus and drive them down to Mexico and leave them there. Nothing official, no deportation, just leave them there.

Exactamente! Massachusetts deserves it. I hope the INS does not forget to send busloads of illegals to all of the New England states.

Anyone else notice that the good mayor is a Kennedy? And her initials are JFK?

Oh the delicious irony of it.

Yup, as a parent I would really love to have my kids attending school with a bunch of non English speaking illiterate ( in both spanish and english) 20-35 year old illegal aliens who are claiming that they are 16 to scam the system.

What could possibly go wrong with that.

Diversity at it’s best and we all know that diversity is our strength. Or was that ignorance is our strength, can’t remember .

Yup.

And I really like the theory that Obama’s dropping all these illegals into deep blue areas like MA because the voters there will vote Democrat, regardless.

We're not all Massholes here. We're not all Liberal whack-jobs here. We're not all deserving of the scorn that this shite hole gets. Some of us just cannot leave as quickly as we'd like.

Stressing city services today = Shutting down entire cities tomorrow.

Well, well - the denizens of the State of Taxatwoshitts have finally discovered socialism hurts!

Embrace the diversity, Libtards. Remember, “Diversity Is Your Strength!”

My condolences. I understand your frustrations. I live in California, but I am not a Californassole. I was born here by accident.
