It’s always amusing when Democrats, who advocate for unfettered illegal immigration, have to actually deal with illegal aliens themselves
Democratic town furious over migrant shelter opening in neighborhood
Residents in a New England town are fuming that they have not been consulted on plans to convert a former state prison into a tax-payer-funded migrant shelter for hundreds of people.
The state is refurbishing Norfolk, Massachusetts’ Bay State Correctional Center, a former minimum-security dorm-like facility, to accommodate migrants and homeless individuals who are currently holed up at Boston’s Logan International Airport and are on the waitlist for an emergency shelter program. The facility is located on the grounds of Massachusetts Correctional Institution (MCI), a medium-security prison.
Norfolk has a population of about 11,500 and voted heavily in favor of President Joe Biden in 2020. (snip)
Residents said they want answers about the impact on schools, police and emergency services, pointing out that municipal budgets are already stretched thin.
“Let’s face it, we don’t want it here. We don’t,” resident John Semas said, according to GBH.
“And, it doesn’t make us bad people, it doesn’t make me not compassionate, it doesn’t make me a bad father.” Semas was among a small group of people donning shirts and placards that read “Save Norfolk: No Shelter,” the publication reports.
It does make you hypocrites. And it does make you bad people because by supporting Biden and other Democrats you support bringing millions of mostly unvetted illegal aliens into the U.S. You just want them to be Over There. Somewhere Else. Maybe where those Republican voters live in flyover land.
The state’s emergency assistance director, Scott Rice, says that the facility remains in good condition and has the space to accommodate around 140 families.
Except, will they actually be families, or, mostly single, fighting age males, who seem to be the majority of those coming across the borrder?
The site will be staffed 24/7 by a contracted service provider and families will be provided with transportation on and off site. The razor wire on the fence surrounding the facility will be removed, and the gates will remain open, so families will be free to exit and return as needed, the governor’s office says.
Will Norfolk get to experience the same crime and other problems that Democrat cities have had to deal with? The theft, prostitution, panhandling, harassment of women, unlicensed shops in the streets, loud music and parties at all hours? Anyhow, it’s fun that states can suddenly find lots of resources for illegals, but, not U.S. citizens.
In the 2020 election rural/suburban Norfolk, MA cast 4100 votes for Biden and 2570 for Trump. That’s a 60-40 advantage for Mr Biden is this small town (pop 11,662 in 2020). This translates to over 4400 Trump supporters in Norfolk. A few hundred showed up and were “furious” about the proposal to convert the empty “Massachusetts’ Bay State Correctional Center, a former minimum-security dorm-like facility, to accommodate migrants and homeless individuals who are currently holed up at Boston’s Logan International Airport”.
Mr Teach calls these citizens “hypocrites” although having no idea if many if not most of the “furious” protesters are Trump voters! Did the FOX “News” reporters even ask? Pretty sloppy reporting there, Teach.
The “furious” citizens of Norfolk are not forced to live there. Being an American in America they can move to a nearby red state, sort of like a red state woman visiting Norfolk for a 13 week abortion. West Virginia is only about 600 miles from Norfolk. Load up the pickup!! (But do NOT go to Morgantown, WV – it’s a college town and Trump only won 49 to 48!!!)
There’s going to be a damn sight more this time around.
Without reading too much into your incoherent bullshit, it seems you are suggesting the Americans of Norfolk leave their town if they’re unhappy about being overrun with illegal aliens.
Well, fuck you.
Chicken Little Karen Man
No. You can’t extrapolate 11662 into over 4400 Trump supporters. You have no knowledge as to who the non voters supported or how many were even qualified to vote.
Quit making shit up. We do know that 4100 leftie dummies voted for Biden and are now getting shit on.
Which they deserve.
OK dumbass, in Norfolk MA in 2020, there were 2548 actual votes for Trump. So that is a guaranteed 2548 Trump supporters right there. FOX “News” reported a few hundred “furious” residents showed up to learn about the proposed repurposing of the minimum security facility. FOX interviewed what, 3 people for their serious report?
Or do you believe that Trump received even more votes than reported and actually won the city and county?
You were sentient for about one week commenting here before turning into another old reality-denying turd. Don’t be like Teach.
Now fuck off, you silly old man.
Touched a nerve there, huh Karen (aka Rimjob)?
#Trump2024
Bwaha! Lolgf
You, of course, have been an old reality-denying turd for years.
Of course, your unsupported assumption that all the objectors are Trump supporters, given what’s happened in other solid blue enclaves experiencing their own influx of invaders is probably not the best venue for you to be calling anyone else names.
Oh, Stormy…
I didn’t claim that all the objectors were Trumpists, just that it was likely many were. Wacky William sees all issues having but two options – red vs blue, black vs white, up vs down etc. Not ALL the voters in a blue state like Massachusetts are Democrats.
Liar! Norfolk MA is NOT a solid blue enclave, is it?
The total people at the Town Hall meeting was 200. However, at least some of the people there according to Yahoo News were their voicing concerns about whether the migrant children attending the Norfolk schools might be bullied.
JL hates them rich liberal Dems! Avg house value in Norfolk 750000$ Median household income `186000$
migrationpolicy.org/data/unauthorized-immigrant-population/state/MA
A full 21% of MA immigrants live in a home owned by that family (21% home ownership)
Alanan occording to yahoo news the 200 people at the town hall were not ALL there were against the opening if the center. Done were there worried that the migrants kids were going to be bullied by the Townies
Lots of new ly created jobs staffing that new center!
Teach do you think that MA should do the hiring from those new residents?
It will be hard to find staff, Uber Dem Massachusetts currently has an unemployment rate of only 2.9% and a minimum wage of 15$ (how DO those Blue states do that !)
M assachusetts can really use all those new workers. Norfolk has pretty good commuter rail do those new military aged migrant workers will have excellent chances of getting work.
