100% agree. But they instead take a rec center away from local kids in Roxbury, when they have empty dorms sitting there in Newton.

And oh, how can we forget about the wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for? If that was the case why did Trump go begging Congress for $5B to fund it back in 2018?
They didn't have enough so they didn't have a filibuster proof majority.

As for the wall---Mexico paid in other ways when Title 42 was in place.

Trump still found money to work on the wall. Biden stopped building it and sold the materials for scrap.

As I said, come back after you thoroughly research this issue.

Trump doesn't have to "create a[sic] "invader" boogey man" regarding this issue. Most people see what is happening and don't like it.

BTW, Trump isn't the president so he can't control what the house and senate end up doing.

I'm betting it's based in part on where the least political backlash will come. So if residents of the area are not likely to vote or not politically active, they lose. Those areas who vote and are politically active and/or donate money, win.

But it's OK to blame Biden for the same.

What is a plan after? To me even if they find jobs, to rent apartment in MA is expensive, difficult for people with no history. Will they continue occupying shelters, hotels, gyms etc?
And I’m sure they continue to arrive, so it will be more of them.

The same for what?

Biden threw open the border. He has the ability to shut it all down.

Biden takes the blame for the thousands of "migrants" who were allowed to enter the country without being vetted.

How about you tell us all why you thought that vile bill was so great. Why you thought allowing 5,000 "migrants" per day amounting to 1.8 million per year is a great idea. I've noticed that you've avoided that topic.

The Healey administration says the average stay for a family in one of these hotels is one year. I believe that refers to previous homeless Massachusetts families, not these new arrivals. You are right, whatever situation they are in will require them to be heavily subsidized.

I'm sure our leaders promoting this have it all thought out...NOT!

When CNN feeds him the answer he'll be back.
