Just observing that some people who state that cities/states should use resources to take care of resident homeless/poor people first also often complain about cities/states doing THAT!

These are the same people who should want to cut government spending on welfare. Seems like the only time they care about the homeless is when the topic of immigrants comes up. Any other time and its "they're leeches who scam the nanny state"

Maybe you should go “home”.
Who are your ancestors?

Prepare for a LOT more migrants to drain your coffers. Thousands more just crossed the border (illegally) in Texas. No doubt they'll be headed your way soon enough. Will likely be like someone that's gone out drinking one night and drank way too much. You'll wake up to that hangover in the very near future.

Well, this is what the far left wants, so they get to deal with it.

Reminds me of the Irish back in the early 1700s. Or the Italians in the early 1800s. Chinese in the mid 1800s.
Hate hate hate.

This news will spread like wildfire at the border. Great way to provide those entering the country a stipend until they can familiarize themselves with other programs and resources designed for them.

I was really surprised that the Hampton Inns in Massachusetts now have migrants living in them. Every other hotel has them living in them,but I know Hampton Inns had said they would not participate in this shelter program. I guess Hilton Hotels which I believe owns Hampton Inns, changed their mind when money talks. Then some of the local companies and grocery stores are hiring them for full time jobs. I don't see how they can get free room and board in Hampton Inns paid for by taxpayers, and also get a pay check. Is anyone else living in states that had put the welcome mats out to these migrants, becoming rather sick of the Politics in the state you live in? To the point you don't know if you want to remain living in it. I really have concerns about the mentality and the politics in the state I live in Massachusetts.

Enjoy your new outbreak of Chickenpox courtesy of the migrants that were not vaccinated. Sure glad I'm NOT there. Never had that crap growing up and at my age it could be deadly. Good luck with that. If you were unaware of this guess you haven't watched your news.
