Gov. Healey Pours Over $400 Million From Savings To Shelter Illegal Immigrants


Gov. Maura Healey wants to give nearly 1/2 billion dollars to illegal immigrants.

I’ll give you two guesses which political party she’s a member of.

Well, this (spoiler) Democrat isn’t wasting any time—she’s signed a new law limiting how long families can stay in emergency shelters in Massachusetts to nine months.

Oh, and she also happened to green light to a plan to use $426 million from savings to address to make sure illegals get housing.

Is your home situation secure and paid for and paid off?

I’m sure it is. Or else our God-fearing, American-loving heads of state would surely be giving us $400 million to solve our housing crisis, right?

And since they don’t it stands to reason there is no middle class housing crisis.

You sure have to do a lot of mental gymnastics to believe that.

Boston’s NPR News, WBUR reports:

Gov. Maura Healey on Tuesday signed into law a new nine-month limit on how long families can live in Massachusetts emergency shelters, and stamped her approval on the Legislature’s plan to pull up to $426 million from a savings account to pour into the ongoing migrant housing crisis.

Numerous exemptions will be available to families that bump up against the nine-month cap, under the law crafted by top Senate and House Democrats.

Two additional 90-day stays will be available to those who are employed, participating in an approved training program, or meet protected criteria such as: “seeking to avoid educational interruptions for a child or children enrolled in public schools,” those who are pregnant or recently gave birth, people with a diagnosed disability or “documented medical condition,” those to whom domestic violence poses “imminent risk of harm,” or veterans not already enrolled in “services specifically tailored to veterans.”

After imposing her own limits on how long families can remain in overflow shelters, Healey had remained vague on what she thought of legislative proposals to limit a family’s length of stay in the main emergency assistance shelter system.

The governor was noncommittal when asked in March whether nine months was too long or too short for a time limit, saying, “It could be. Again, I want to look at the whole package of what came out and talk some more with my team. But certainly we’ve talked about limits in the past.”

The new law steers another $251 million toward the beleaguered shelter system to cover costs through June 30. Current appropriations for the system, which were fortified in December, were set to run out “early this spring,” possibly “as soon as this month,” Administration and Finance spokesman Matt Murphy said earlier in April.

The people have had it with this Democrat.

Breaking News:

I just got a new tweet from her royal majesty Healey and she’s got great news!

$400 million for illegals, and something-something-climate for everyone else.

“Climate this!”

“Climate that!”

They really can’t stop banging that drum, can they?
