Blue State Dems Aren't Hiding It Anymore, Move Closer to Forcing American Homeowners to Shelter Illegals

We've written recently about New York and other blue states making life more and more inconvenient for American citizens living there, over the (at least in their way of thinking) more urgent needs of illegal aliens, who continue to stream daily across our southern border.

 A story that continues to linger in my mind is the one from a few days ago, about New York City making high school kids return to the remote learning model from COVID lockdowns--so that undocumented people who were being sheltered in tents could bunk down inside the school gym during bad weather. That didn't fly with many people, as my colleague Nick Arama wrote:

The city is evacuating almost 2,000 illegal aliens who are staying in a tent on Floyd Bennett Field due to concerns about the weather because the field is not a livable environment in the face of a potential torrential rain storm and high winds. 

But city officials are now moving the illegal aliens into the second-floor gym of James Madison High School in Brooklyn.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams, readers may remember, tried to stop the buses from bringing in illegal aliens from overwhelmed border states, announcing a new executive order on January 1st that would limit when drivers could drop off their passengers. But they seem to have found some clever work-arounds:

Under the executive order, Adams is requiring bus drivers who are aware that they're carrying illegal aliens with fares paid for “by a third party” to provide the city with at least a 32-hour notice before their anticipated arrival. Again, no sweat for the drivers: New Jersey officials say they're dropping off the illegals at Secaucus Junction Train Station — about a 15-minute ride from New York City. 

Moreover, according to Tyler Jones, a spokesperson from New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s (D) office, drivers are also dropping off illegals at train stations throughout the state.

And what is Mayor Adams' long-term plan for where these illegal immigrants should be housed? Take a listen to this flashback video from June 2023--as Adams tells you his "vision" in his own words:

WATCH: NYC Mayor Eric Adams on housing illegal aliens:

“It is my vision to take the next step to this — go to the faith-based locales and then move to a private residence. There are residents who are suffering right now because of economic challenges. They have spare rooms." pic.twitter.com/ZVy41liS9g— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) June 5, 2023

Did you catch that part about where he blithely insist that people who are struggling financially from Bidenomics will need to give up their "spare rooms" to shelter illegals? Or Adams' hint that some federal money earmarked to NY for handling the illegals might flow into Amercans' pocketbooks? I'm not sure how that could be legal--with the government deciding how you should live your day to day life, or how much space you and your family are alloted.

But mayors are not the only blue state Dems who aren't hiding the fact that they want homeowners in their states to board illegal aliens.

As our friend, Libs of TikTok, points out in a new post on X (formerly known as Twitter), things seem to be moving in that direction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:

🚨Melrose, Massachusetts is holding an event called “Exploring the Host Home Experience” to encourage residents to house illegals in their homes.

A few months ago, the Governor asked citizens to take illegals into their homes.

MA is the only state in the nation with a with a “right-to-shelter” law which means the state must provide shelter for anyone who needs it.

. @elonmusk is right. They’re going to come for our private homes.

The X post continues:

MA is the only state in the nation with a “right-to-shelter” law which means the state must provide shelter for anyone who needs it. .@elonmusk is right. They’re going to come for our private homes.

Here, we see a city event hoping to coax residents to volunteer to "host" illegal aliens, in language that makes it sound like you'll be treated to a visit from a delightful foreign exchange student. At this point, at least in MA, the plan is being couched in wording that's a choice; people are voluntarily learning about how to help out. But soon enough, like with Mayor Adams in NY, it will move to a requirement before you know it.This is the way the progressive Left goes--in incremental steps.

I see the “immigration advocates” providing us with a few frozen immigrants over the next few days. They “walked” all the way up from Central America but can’t take a little cold. BS. Somebody is lying. The obnoxious, low I.Q. residents of the U.S. will buy this crap story in a heart beat. The GOP in Congress need to get on this right away. STOP THE FAR LEFT LIES!!!!

[Buttons12]

Covid pandemic measures proved the people will put up with whatever they’re told to put up with.
For the time being we can keep our cartridge boxes because the authorities are now sure we pose no threat.

He'd be better of reading Sowell’s “Vision of the Anointed”...a much more germane tome.

Beautiful old home. This looks much too nice to be or Russian design or construction.

It seems to me, if I’m remembering correctly, that Pres. Trump had a plan all laid out for this & it possibly/likely would have worked. Pres. Biden, I guess, was just too proud to follow a good plan that wasn’t of his own making. Now, I suppose all of us will have to pay the price. Everyone should be expecting the sound of gunfire when some of this happens.

This is great! When my brother comes from senegal the government will pay me to house him in my subsidised apartment!

[Sequoyah101]

Just about ruined Tomball. I was there. We hardly ever heard of crime, especially out in the woods up to 1488. After Katrina we started having home invasions. You could see them casing he neighborhoods of the acreage subdivisions during the day.

We had them some in Atlanta, too. They were STILL there three years later yelping how they needed HELP! cuz Katrina....

A clear Third Amendment violation, but these arrogant, amoral authoritarians don’t like the Constitution anyway. They view it as an impediment.

[Wasichu]

Third amendment specifically applies to soldiers, not poor starving “migrants.”

The third:

“No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”

[Political Junkie Too]

The Supreme Court cited the Third Amendment in their landmark Griswold v Connecticut ruling on contraceptives:

The foregoing cases suggest that specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance. See Poe v. Ullman, 367 U. S. 497, 367 U. S. 516-522 (dissenting opinion). Various guarantees create zones of privacy. The right of association contained in the penumbra of the First Amendment is one, as we have seen. The Third Amendment, in its prohibition against the quartering of soldiers "in any house" in time of peace without the consent of the owner, is another facet of that privacy. The Fourth Amendment explicitly affirms the "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." The Fifth Amendment, in its Self-Incrimination Clause, enables the citizen to create a zone of privacy which government may not force him to surrender to his detriment. The Ninth Amendment provides: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

The Fourth and Fifth Amendments were described in Boyd v. United States, 116 U. S. 616, 116 U. S. 630, as protection against all governmental invasions "of the sanctity of a man's home and the privacies of life..."

The present case, then, concerns a relationship lying within the zone of privacy created by several fundamental constitutional guarantees. And it concerns a law which, in forbidding the use of contraceptives, rather than regulating their manufacture or sale, seeks to achieve its goals by means having a maximum destructive impact upon that relationship. Such a law cannot stand in light of the familiar principle, so often applied by this Court, that a "governmental purpose to control or prevent activities constitutionally subject to state regulation may not be achieved by means which sweep unnecessarily broadly and thereby invade the area of protected freedoms."

NAACP v. Alabama, 377 U. S. 288, 377 U. S. 307. Would we allow the police to search the sacred precincts of marital bedrooms for telltale signs of the use of contraceptives? The very idea is repulsive to the notions of privacy surrounding the marriage relationship.

According to Griswold, these "penumbras, formed by emanations" from the Third Amendment give a "zone of privacy" around homeowners to be free from agents of the state (a "penumbra" emanating from the role of soldiers in the federal government).

A state that tries to house migrants inside the homes of citizens can definitely be argued to be an unconstitutional violation of the Third Amendment by citing Griswold's zone of privacy and overly broad action that burdens the citizen with performing the role of government.

Funny, when they want something done they ALL OF A SUDDEN believe in faith based institutions. Otherwise they throw us in the trash bin. NOW they want help. How abt. NO

[TBP]

THERE ARE NO PENUMBRAS!!!!!

[TBP]

They’re invaders.

[Political Junkie Too]

THERE ARE NO PENUMBRAS!!!!!

Until Griswold is overturned, it's in their ruling opinion.

I'm stuck here. We have the nbC crowd who love citing SCOTUS rulings over Federalist essay, and here is the "landmark" SCOTUS ruling that defined the concept of "penumbras, formed by emanations."

Based on what I've been told by the nbC opponents, if it's in the SCOTUS ruling then it's the interpretation of the Constitution.

Therefore, penumbras, formed by emanations of the Third Amendment prevents New York from forcing residents to house illegal aliens.

My wife and I live in far Northern California, I’ve been up here 20 years she’s only been retired up here for the last 7 years.

We still own our home in Southern California and all of our doctors are down there.

The So. Cal. home is only occupied for about 25 to 30 days a year when we have to go down and schedule Dr’s appointments.

If they try that crap on me with my house down there, I will burn that mother f#cker down before I will let a WETBACK take up residence!
