Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker wound up sounding a lot more like a Republican this week than he normally does. On Monday, Baker publicly called on President Biden to send “urgent assistance” to his state to deal with the thousands of illegal migrants who have been sent or made their way to his state – particularly the city of Boston – from the southern border. He described a system that is normally used to house the local homeless population as being completely “overwhelmed” at this point. As many as 100 migrant families are currently being put up in hotels at the state’s expense but there are still many others demanding services. Like many blue states, Massachusetts has a “right-to-shelter law” that requires the government to provide shelter for those that request it. That makes Baker’s state a very tempting destination for the migrants, but the system is simply breaking down. (Boston Globe)Read More
