It’s one of the wealthiest states in America, with residents of its fanciest zip code luxuriating in $3 million red-brick apartments.
But the writing is on the wall for Massachusetts, says an alarming new study.
The 50,000 non-legal migrants who’ve entered the state since Joe Biden became president are putting a costly strain on schools, healthcare, and other services.
Jessica Vaughan, author of the report for the Center for Immigration Studies, says the state is destined for bankruptcy.
That’s because migrants will drain state coffers of a staggering $1.8 trillion over the next two years.
Even though some non-legal migrants will work and pay taxes, this revenue will not come close to the cost of social services for all 355,000 of them, says Vaughan.
‘These migrants represent a looming fiscal disaster for taxpayers in Massachusetts,’ Vaughan told the Mail.
‘Even if they are working, they are not equipped with skills and education to avoid being a drain on public coffers.’
.....They were at first greeted with open arms by a Blue state that affords ‘sanctuary’ protections to migrants.

Vaughan’s report also documents the outrages committed by law-breaking migrants in Massachusetts.
They include a cocaine-smuggling Dominican, a Russian fraudster, and a Guatemalan man who was arrested for child rape.
But the most shocking case involves Haitian migrant Cory Alvarez, 26, who is behind bars fighting charges that he raped a disabled teen girl at his shelter in the Comfort Inn in Rockland.
.....Over the next two years, the combined cost of food stamps, schooling, health care, and public safety could reach a jaw-dropping $1.8 trillion, says Vaughan.
That ‘fiscal time bomb’ is nearly three times the state’s entire economy, which was $615 billion last year.
Gov. Healey, a Democrat, in January joined eight counterparts from other migrant-hit states, asked the White House and Congress for action at the border and billions of extra dollars to keep services running.
But, according to Vaughan, even an emergency grant won’t solve Massachusetts’ spending woes over the coming years.
Instead, state lawmakers need to cut welfare payouts to migrants and get tough with employers who hire those without papers, she said.
Wow a third of a million invaders bankrupting Mass. who knew!!

$1.8 trillion is the tip of the iceberg.
so what’s the total economic drain when the other sanctuary cities and states are combined??
Regarding the 1.8 TRILLION migrant expense time bomb - the solution is simple. Cut them off. NO taxpayer money. No free ride. Nothing.
Americans should not be compelled to pay for anybody else’s expense. Really, it’s enslavement of the willing and productive, but in this case, it’s on steroids.
