Blame game
Enough is enough. Our governor and legislators are placing blame on everyone: feds, hotel owners, police. They need to look themselves in the mirror and realize a good portion of the Massachusetts immigration issues are caused or exacerbated by their own actions, or lack of action.
They won’t change the right to shelter law (which was originally put in place for homeless citizens), have not even thought about creating Massachusetts’ own laws to limit immigration to LEGAL immigration. Instead, they offer illegal immigrants free housing, free medical, driver’s licenses, breaks on education and then they limit the information our RMV can give out to law enforcement!
Now they are kicking our service men and women out of hotels for housing for illegal immigrants, causing our schools to be overburdened and allowing children who are not completely vaccinated into the schools.
Where is the common sense!
I do not blame the immigrants – why wouldn’t they come?? Anyone in their situation would. I do blame our state AND federal government for allowing our borders to be overrun, for the increase in crime in our cities, towns and schools and for the undermining of our police and justice system.
Stop the blame game and use the laws we have or change them as needed to get control of our state back before it is too late! Then collaborate with other states to force the federal government to close our borders and bring back the immigration laws that worked.

Building wall
I’m really trying to understand why President Joseph Robinette Biden’s first objective when he was inaugurated as president was to stop building the wall at our southern border. Now look what’s happening, an enormous number of immigrants on a daily basis crossing illegally in our country and on the border and then many being bused throughout different states for shelter. Now the burden of housing, feeding, healthcare and education is the responsible on towns or cities who get these immigrants with no plan on what to do going forward. Mr. President, question is, what is the master plan for these immigrants?

Full disclosure
Maura Healey won’t tell us how much money is being spent housing illegal aliens in our state. Treasurer Deb Goldberg won’t tell us why she kicked out Shannon O’Brien off the cannabis chairmanship post, while still allowing O’Brien to keep getting paid a salary north of $180,000 a year. Not a bad deal to say the least. Climate honcho John Kerry won’t disclose how much his office spends globe-trotting around the world while his rich friends buy waterfront property. If the world will end in 9 more years because of a warming planet, it seems odd not to be buying mountain-top mansions while the average person drowns in rising oceans. What’s with these Democrats? Transparency is a joke and Democrats keep voting Democrats into office.
