The wealthy sanctuary state that's going broke under its $1.8 trillion migrant 'time bomb'
daily mail ^

Posted on 07/30/2024 1:39:14 PM PDT by algore

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.'

Her report comes amid a testy 2024 presidential race, with Republican nominee Donald Trump using immigration as a weapon against his rival, the Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

Though more than 2,000 miles from the southern border, Massachusetts has seen some 50,000 newcomer illegal migrants since January 2021, says the study.

It takes 3 generations for migrants to match the productive levels of the native population. It is impossible for it to happen right away.

Not so fast. Is a state goes bankrupt, who do you think has to pay for bailing them out?

That comes out to $5 million / head. I don’t buy the math.

The sooner these sanctuary states go broke, the better. It all needs to come crashing down, before the adults take over and make them a nice place to live, again.

Now you know where most of that borrowed $2 trillion is going.

In 2025, Trump is going to shut that spigot off, and the US states (and illegals) will be on their own, especially New York. Those Rat sanctuary states are going to crumble and break into pieces. NO help from the feds is forthcoming. Die suckers, die!

$1.8 Billion sounds like the right number.

Born and raised in Mass., and the migrant issue is certainly a “time bomb”.

But where did the author come up with a cost of “$1.6 trillion dollars in 2 years” malarkey?

The annual budget of Massachusetts is $80 billion a year.

What’s the straight skinny on what’s happening there?

All staging of Illegal Aliens for deportation under Trump, should be in New England.

>> I don’t buy the math.

Are you factoring in all the paychecks and other grift to all the NGOs that facilitate the Mass Migrant caretaking?

Five million does seem like a lot though.

I’ll bring the chairs if someone wants to bring the popcorn.
