Despite residents fleeing Massachusetts, Democrat Gov. Maura Healey (D-MA) signed a bill welcoming hundreds more of illegal immigrants into her state.
Healey signed the state budget this week that includes an additional $426 million to house illegal aliens in correspondence to the state’s “right to shelter” law that requires the government to put illegal immigrants and homeless people into homes. (Snip) According to a report, Massachusetts currently has more than one million illegal aliens residing in the state. It is expected to cost taxpayers over one billion dollars by 2025 to house them.
This number doesn’t include the 14,000 illegal Haitian immigrants Massachusetts has funded since 2022.

The headline should read: struggling taxpayers will be forced to cough up $400 million dollars, so freeloading invaders can have all needs provided. Suckers!

I wonder if this fiasco drives home to the citizens of Massachusetts as to what constitutes a right- and what doesn’t.
It’s easy to be generous when the cost is low.

This is the same Massachusetts Governor who said, "Things happen", when told of the rape of a fifteen-year old girl in one of the recently converted illegal immigrant hotels in the state.

I worked in Boston for about five years, and boy am I glad we moved out of that bastion of liberalism.

If I were a tax payer in MA, I would immediately start a petition to get rid of the governor.

I hope the residents of this state realize that their "fair share" just went up a few percentage points.

As you vote , so shall you reap. Unfortunately in this country we are tasting the poisonous fruits of socialism in spite of voting against it.

But not a single freebie for the tax-paying fools who voted him into office.

Are the people of Massachusetts okay with this? I would bet they are not. We are living in tyranny when our elected leaders reject and ignore the will of the people. A Constitutional Republic does not work this way. Corruption is so rife and the insatiable lust for power so strong that nothing matters to the traitors of the people but retaining their power which they believe they can do by catering to illegals. Our leaders neither respect our opinions or fear us. Maybe it is time for them to do both.

Because the democrats do not protect the border, American citizens have to pay.

I could not care less what the idiots in Mass pay for. As far as I am concerned, the NE states and Cali can take every damn one that crosses the border. Then build a wall along the Mason-Dixon Line and gas them.

This is part of the overall plan. Replacing American citizens with illegal immigrants insures that Democrats win elections. It will start blowing up when the money runs out. I care what happens in all of our States. Writing off one because it’s liberal creates a dangerous precedent.

This is what happens when you have a one party state. The democrats control everything in this state and the elections prove that. The governor wanted a sanctuary state and now she can't afford it. She must think California is the model to follow. Well, 1100 people move from Mass. every week. Eventually we'll have more people on assitance and welfare then there are people to pay for it. Wake up people, VOTE THEM OUT! The state you save might be your own.

I grew up in Massachusetts. Had some early pleasant childhood memories. But, after attending college in the Commonwealth, I got out and never looked backed. Massachusetts is finished. The "rats are leaving the ship". If you want an interesting read, pull Maura Healy's CV. There's "woke" and there's "WOKE". Her comment that "...Sure America's burning, but that's how forests grow..." pretty much sums it up.

I fled Massachusetts a few weeks ago. Housing is scarce/very pricey for all but the illegals who pay nothing. This, plus the smug, intellectually bankrupt leftist mindset that permeates the Bay State leaves Massachusetts permanently in the rearview mirror for me..

Forgive second post, but, truthfullly, # 17, the money has already run out. Like us all, you cannot spend more than you take in, or then you have to borrow to make up the difference. Governments, of couse, can also raise taxes to bring more money into the Treasury, until the people cannot take it anymore. Governments should not budget monies they do not have. Like teenagers with their first credit card, politiicians keep saying "charge it" for causes they think will keep them in office, but they never think about the interest owed on the money borrowed. The interest piles up because, like the teen who pays only the minimum payment, governments can also be reduced to only paying the interest payments, and then you are in bondage to someone. Will Ukraine ever pay us back for the billions budgeted to them? Why don't the European countries lend a billion or two to that country? Who do we borrow from? China?
We have maxed out our credit cards.

Suck it up Massachusetts! You axed for it. ...and eventually, the leeches will demand more as soon as they resettle their remaining tribes.
