Massachusetts officials ask residents to lend a 'helping hand' and offer migrants 'an extra room'

[DoggyDaddy]

See the thing is that you can still represent and serve and still be a leader.

Some can. Some cannot. We have the latter in power now.

An old friend got on a FB rant one day complaining that all these churches that are vacant all week long could house the homeless in those big, empty buildings. When I suggested he and the others liking his post be the change he desires in others by putting those spare bedrooms and basements in their homes to that noble use….I never heard from him again.

I can't disagree with that

"Conditions at Camp Atterbury in southern Johnson County have allegedly deteriorated to the point that some refugees being held at the facility are “defecating on tables” and “cleaning their clothes in toilets.”
“It’s absolutely disgusting what I am seeing,” the source said in his message, later adding that some refugees are stealing license plates and antennas from vehicles to craft makeshift weapons.
“There have been shank fights,” the source wrote. “We were told to keep a vigilant eye out because [refugees] were able to obtain knives at the Post Exchange [when they arrived].”

He added that “some Taliban members” have been identified in the vetting process at Camp Atterbury and shipped back to Afghanistan; however, as many as 47 unvetted refugees that were awaiting processing are now missing.
“Over 66-hundred people, only 25 had actual documents,” Spartz said to Newsmax. “Only half of them had some kind of status in trying to apply (for asylum or legal immigration to the US.)

She added that around 200 women at Atterbury are pregnant.

How many of these government heads have taken in illegal immigrants into their personal abodes?

Sounds like a classic line of...
This problem needs fixed, so YOU fix it, while I tell you how.
In the mean time, I will sit here on the side lines and feel contented to watch.

In my mind it's sort of in the same sentiment I heard from Granniopteryx on the difference between Patriotism and Nationalism.
"A patriot loves his country so much that in the cause of protecting it he would gladly sacrifice himself."
"A nationalist hates the other country so much that in the cause of harming it he would gladly sacrifice his fellow citizens."
I know it's not an apples to apples comparison.

Those weren't illegals. The Feds brought them here.

Yes feds brought them...but "“Over 66-hundred people, only 25 had actual documents,” Spartz said to Newsmax. “Only half of them had some kind of status in trying to apply (for asylum or legal immigration to the US.) So half were still illegals, no matter who dropped them off.

That doesn't mean they entered the country illegally. These were people we took with us when we evacuated Afghanistan. So they were literally brought to the country by the US government.

Sneaking across the border away from a border crossing is entering illegally.

Quit trying to equate the two.

These people aren't even sneaking across the border. They're just walking in. In my eyes the fed are bringing them in cause they sure aint stopping them

exactly.

Just like the climate change people.
Well, if you believe what you say, go out there and ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM.
Don't just yell and say "someone needs to do something."

Just put the "17-year-old child" with gang tats, a paunch, and a receeding hairline on the lower bunk bed below your daughter. It'll be fine, guy!

Sadly, I am predicting that the same people that forced gender change onto their kids would, in fact, happily let an illegal immigrant live in the same room as their (transitioned) children.

Every state employe in Massachusetts should be required to house 2 illegals as a condition of their employment.

If you don’t belong here or have documents to verify your identity, you are an illegal. How you got here doesn’t change that.

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.

My response at best would be "Go to Hell". These so called migrants that enter the country illegally every day and the government wants citizens to house them?? Even the Democrats that were around when I was a kid would think this was totally insane.

I'll have Alfred bring fresh linens into the suite.

That is simply not true.

Yes, as I recall forcing them to choose between submitting to a mandate or losing their job is not considered to be forcing them to accept the mandate by current standards of leftist 'thought' - so it's all good

Throw a towel over it, maybe it will go away
