There are resources available to that vet also. Why is he/she not availing themselves of this assistance?
This isn't a zero sum game.

the Governor, the Mayor of Boston, both Senators from Massachusetts all support the right to shelter law.

Support different candidates. Change the law, otherwise it is what it is.

pssst ... the federal government is flying these folks all over the country.

I didn't vote for any of these worthless clowns. Hopefully more will start waking up now. I know it's a big "hope", but that's all we can really do at this point.

Really? I don't see anything to indicate that the hospitals were unable to see other patients, do you? They are patients with emergent conditions.

It's about prolonged wait times...stretching already thin resources since they now have to take care of all these migrants too.

We're careful when it comes to choosing a hotel. A lesson that was reinforced a couple of years ago when we stayed at the Fairfield Inn in Dedham. What a dump that place was.
I recently stayed in one where a bus tour pick-up was arranged (it was a long drive for me) only to find it was mostly "residential." I was wary when I saw young Hispanic males milling around outside, then horrified to see the condition of the lobby, elevator, and room itself. I spent a very uneasy night there. Never again! Guess it's easy money for these hotels, though...

I don't care who's doing the giving; the fact remains that they're being given EVERYTHING.
