Quote
Massachusetts officials overwhelmed by arriving migrants have activated the national guard as they scramble for more housing, while aid groups say they have been pushed to the limit and protests abound.

Gov. Maura Healey mobilized 250 members of the Massachusetts National Guard on Thursday to help transport the latest wave of asylum seekers to shelters across the state.

Right now, the non-profits that are in Massachusetts are stretched and so thin they cannot provide anymore staff,” state Sen. Jamie Eldridge told CBS News.

While the National Guard can help with the lack of manpower, the state can do little to address the shortage of housing outside of creating new shelters, which local residents vehemently oppose.

Meanwhile, Biden continues to do nothing

The Biden stooges will still believe that “there is no migrant crisis! It’s all just relative” … so is the Governor of MA just an idiot for activating the national guard for no reason?

You realize that the national guard are operated by the state, right? What exactly do you want Biden to do?

Starting to hear more xenophobic sentiment towards migrants in big cities, except they aren’t exactly Republicans…

You realize that immigration, migrants, border security, and asylum applications etc are operated by the feds, right? What exactly do you want local governments to do?

An immigration reform bill would be nice, then Biden can sign it. Hmm...why haven't we had one of those pass both chambers if Congress yet?

In a few decades, a child of Cuban, Venezuelan or Nicaraguan refugees may very well make some low budget dramatization of the current ‘migrant crisis’. It will offend no one and tug at the heart strings. People will ask “why were we so cruel, so malicious?”, as we have about every refugee wave in our history. Then, we will return to hating and loathing the current wave of refugees.
