Here's What Happened When a Couple Volunteered to House Illegal Immigrants
TownHall.com ^

Posted on 02/17/2024 4:16:42 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

A Massachusetts couple who volunteered to house illegal immigrants said that a family of four showed up at their doorstep less than an hour after they signed up.

The couple, Chris and Jessica Stokes, live in Brookline. In the days before the couple signed up to house immigrants, hundreds of illegals were sleeping on the floor of Boston Logan International Airport with no place to go. The family that arrived at the Stokes’ house was in this type of situation.

“We really knew nothing,” Jessica Stokes said in an on-camera interview, emphasizing that they didn’t know their ages, where they were coming from, among other things.

The family, which includes a couple and their two kids, came from Chile, then to Texas, then to Massachusetts.

"Just the dysfunction is really disheartening and I know that really well-intentioned people are working as hard as they can, it's a state of emergency. But it is distressing to see the volume," Jessica Stokes said.

“The need is so clearly overwhelming,” Colin Stokes added. “It boggles the mind that there are so many hundreds of those stories and those people who are in such a stressful, traumatic transition.”

Earlier this month, Townhall covered how illegal immigrants who were sleeping on the floors of Boston Logan International Airport were relocated to an “overflow” shelter at a community recreation center. The center, which was used for sports for children in the community, paused all its activities until further notice to handle the migrants.

Roll credits.

Let’s see how they fare in a month or so, when they can’t get rid of them.

And first, it’s just a *family* to con people into believing that they are actually doing good.

Later, bait and switch style, it will be combatants, gang members, cartel members, and human traffickers.

So what happened?

The Townhall article or the 33 second CBS News clip on Twitter doesn't say.

From the photos and videos of illegals crossing the border I see only few families, they seem to be mostly young men.

They had illegals in their house in less than an hour after volunteering.

There was a mega-church, about 10+ years ago, who guilted members into participating in something similar. They refused to address several incidents of thefts and sexual assaults resulting from it. They tried to keep the victims from reporting it.

They can do what they want. Go for it. Virtue Signal all the way to the Andromeda Galaxy if you want. Me? I am not bringing a family of eunuch Mormans into a house with MY family. But that is just me...

Isn’t this knowingly aiding in a criminal activity?

“We really knew nothing,”

I would say that is an understatement of Biblical proportions. I have a feeling, that sooner or later, maybe sooner, the evil scum bags in government, will require people to keep illegals in their homes. It’s coming, folks.

Matt Walsh pointed out that these people could be used for free domestic help. Also could be a legal nightmare for the property owners if they want them to leave.

The Pilgrims starved in their first year because they tried communism. It should have been a lesson for the ages for America. Some folks never learn.

But it is distressing to see the volume," Jessica Stokes said.

I felt distressed by all the dying field mice I saw, so I opened my grain silo to them. It was very distressing to see the volume of field mice, rats and other critters I ended up with and they cleaned out my entire store of grain.
