Massachusetts to Warn Border Authorities Migrant Shelters Are Full
25th June 2024
Massachusetts has dispatched a team of officials to the southern border in Texas to dissuade migrants in federal custody from traveling to the state, according to a new report.
Staff from Gov. Maura Healey’s (D-MA) administration are heading to four Texas cities, Brownsville, Hidalgo, McAllen, and San Antonio, to meet with migrants, federal law enforcement, and nonprofit groups to express concerns that shelters up north are at capacity and cannot accommodate more migrants, according to a statement shared with CBS News Tuesday.
“This trip is an important opportunity to meet with families arriving in the U.S. and the organizations that work with them at the border to make sure they have accurate information about the lack of shelter space in Massachusetts,” Gen. Scott Rice, the state’s shelter crisis director, said in a statement.
Now that Governor Greg Abbott has gone all DEI on the border problem, previously sanctimonious blue states are realizing that their butts are in the wringer as well, and it appears to be concentrating their minds wonderfully.

Isn’t it amazing how they’re so worried that *their* shelters are “full” but were never concerned about the shelters in small, border towns.
