Massachusetts is facing a housing crisis due to an influx of illegal immigrants, with the state running out of room to house them.
Governor Maura Healey has declared a state of emergency and asked legal residents to open their homes to illegal immigrants.
The state is currently housing over 1,400 families in hotels at taxpayer expense.
“Most importantly, if you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Housing and shelter is our most pressing need and become a sponsor family,” Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll said.
Efforts to encourage private homeowners to host migrants have raised concerns about safety and responsibility, as well as questions about the legality of requiring citizens to take in illegal immigrants.
The state’s “right to housing” law for families is causing financial strain, and some lawmakers are seeking changes.
“Joe Biden et al. have turned what was a decent, if woke neighborhood, into a Bidenville. The illegals are up all night, driving their unregistered scooters everywhere. Needles litter the gutters. The illegals are harassing young American girls and ‘verbally abusing’ adults,” columnist Howie Carr wrote.
“Can the residents of, say, Dover or Weston choose between a MS-13 gangbanger and a member of Los Trinitarios?” Carr asked.
