The mayor of a small Massachusetts town is calling to reform the state’s “right-to-shelter” law that is putting a strain on the area as thousands of migrants arrive.
Under the 1983 law, Massachusetts officials are required to offer housing to any homeless family seeking shelter. Although individuals are not covered under the law, it does cover the influx of migrant families entering the state.
Woburn Mayor Scott Galvin told the New York Times that the law was “passed at a different time, and was not meant to cover what we’re seeing now.”
“We’re going above and beyond, while some communities around us are not being impacted, and we don’t have endless capacity in our schools,” he said. “The benefits that are bestowed on migrants make the state a very attractive destination, and without some changes, this challenge is not going to abate.”
Galvin says he has about 150 families staying at hotels in his community of about 40,000, which he says is unsustainable in the long run.

No, no, no, Scott...this is what it means!
You virtue signaling a&&holes do this every time: you say, Oh Don’t Worry, if we give in on this one little thing, nothing bad will happen!
Like endless welfare for morons to have 10 kids when they couldn’t afford one, amnesties for millions of illegal aliens in 1986 (Kennedy: “we will never bring this to the congress again”; “it’s only 1.6 million”), Affirmative Action for everyone on the planet EXCEPT Whitey, on and on.
“Oh Don’t Worry” - Right. Sure.
So basically, the way to get the left to abandon leftism is to force them to live up to their own ideals.
Thanks, “Rule for Radicals”!
Woburn is not a small town.
The highways should be full of busses moving Illegals someplace else
Woburn is not a small town, so the journalist doesn’t know what he’s talking about or lying or both.
