Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll asked state residents Wednesday to open their doors and assist housing migrants after the Democratic governor, Maura Healey, declared a state of emergency Tuesday as the state is faced with a vast shortage of shelters.

"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," Driscoll said.


quote:

Driscoll's comments echoed Healey's statement Tuesday in calling on residents to "offer a helping hand."


quote:

Their calls for assistance from residents come after Healey announced that a state of emergency exists "due to rapid and unabated increases in the number of families with children and pregnant people — many of them newly arriving migrants and refugees — living within the state but without the means to secure safe shelter in our communities."

They voted for this. I support this.

Time to show support for the policies you voted for.

How soon until we get an actual real live Third Amendment case?

When I was in HS, we were told that one was vestigial at this point and we would never see one.

And encourage them to bring others over, for a sleepover.

What is the quickest way to get a leftist to remove their “no human being is illegal” yard sign?

Yes I’ll take “You get what you vote for” for 500 Alex.

There are no more John Adams out there, just a bunch of homos chugging Sam Adams.

Good way to wake up with your throat cut and your cat pregnant.

This reminds me of the scene from High Plains Drifter.
The preacher is lamenting that Clint Eastwood is throwing the patrons of the hotel out into the streets because it’s unchristian. He says they are your brothers and sisters.
Clint asks the preacher,” are they your brothers and sisters too?”
When he says yes, Clint says,” well you won’t have any trouble taking them into your house!”

Illegal Immigrants are going to flock to Martha’s Vineyard like bears to honey under this plan. There are tons of empty bedrooms in Martha’s Vineyard just waiting to host these folks.

I'm assuming she's leading by example. How many migrant families is she sponsoring at her home?

That will go from “offer” an extra room, to do you “have” an extra room. Smart folks see what is coming. The line for a doctors appointment will look like Tiger Stadium for the ‘Bama game. Not rocket science.

Not sure what the problem is. Easy solution.
Let them all camp out in and surround the state legislature and state capital buildings. Then add thousands of tents outside the front yards of every politician and state agency head in MA state government.

The 3rd is about quartering TROOPS. There’s nothing in it that says government can’t put civilians there. It’d be interesting to see how liberal courts approach that. You’d think that the 4th guarantee of freedom from “unreasonable searches and seizures” would cover that, but would a Lib government declare that quartering illegal aliens in your homes was “reasonable “.? We’ll see.
