Massachusetts Asks Citizens to Take in Migrants Amid State of Emergency

[1LoverofGod]

The lieutenant governor of Massachusetts has asked residents and those with spare space to house migrants after the state declared an emergency over an influx of migrants that has caused "a severe lack of shelter availability in the state."

In a press conference on Thursday, Kim Driscoll urged citizens to "step up if you're willing to have an additional family be part of your family."

The request prompted criticism from many, while some expressed support for Driscoll, citing Massachusetts' history as one of the first colonies founded by European migrants.

The state became the latest in the U.S. to declare an emergency over the number of migrants arriving there on Tuesday, saying that it currently had 5,600 families in state shelter, or around 20,000 individuals including children and pregnant women, up 80 percent on the 3,100 families a year ago.

I can't post the first two words that came to mind . . . family-friendly forum and not Christ-like.

How many migrant families can they fit into the Governor's Mansion? LT Governor's residence? State Attorney General? etc.

Who's vetting the migrants and host families for safety?

How are they going to prevent human trafficking (sex and domestic servitude)?

Not to mention it is still a criminal act to aid and abet criminals, which criminal illegal aliens are...

Isn't it a crime to deprive someone of his or her Fourth Amendment rights, so wouldn't participation amount to more criminal acts?

Unfortunately, I can see a day in which elderly still in their own homes are forcefully deprived because the "space is needed for others"
