Screw you, American.

Come on in, foreigners (illegals particularly). Have we got deals for you!



The number of welfare cards in Massachusetts exploded by 35 percent from June 2023 to May 2024, according to the Boston Herald.

The massive increase in Electronic Benefit Cards (EBT) reveals the huge inflow of poor migrants — and helps to explain the rising outflow of middle-class Bay State residents who migrate to cities with cheaper housing, lower taxes, and higher wages.

“A staggering 672,483 new EBT cards have been added to the welfare rolls in a little over a year — a tally that’s intensifying calls for an audit of the welfare agency,” the Herald‘s Friday report said.

“The number of ‘active EBT cards’ in Massachusetts jumped 34.6 percent … according to data obtained by a Tainton state Senate candidate [who] shared with the Herald,” the report said.

The top five locations for EBT cards include Brockton, Dorchester, Codman Square, NewBedford, and Lawrence, the Herald reported.

President Joe Biden’s deputies are helping penniless migrants get settled in the United States by granting them access to SNAP and other aid. The migrants are legally eligible for the American spending because Biden’s deputies have given them temporary legal status under the legally contested “parole” migration program and the Temporary Protected Status program.

...

The state’s Democrat government and many local elites have been eager to welcome Biden’s migrants with welfare and housing, partly because they want more cheap foreign workers, poor consumers, and renters — as well as all of that federal funding that flows to the migrants from Washington, DC.

“The number of illegal and inadmissible migrants living in Massachusetts is about 355,000, with about 50,000 new arrivals since 2021,” according to a July 2024 report by the Center for Immigration Studies. The report added:



Taxpayers in Massachusetts have spent more than $1 billion to date on the emergency shelter system that has been overwhelmed with the task of housing thousands of newly arrived migrants, some who entered illegally and some who arrived under one of the Biden administration’s controversial parole programs. State budget officials expect they will have to spend another $1.8 billion in the next two years.

Progressives and left-wingers celebrate the migrant arrivals. For example, left-wing lawyers mobilized to help arriving migrants enroll in federal and state aid programs, and to get permission to work in jobs that help wealthy Americans, according to an April 2024 report at BerkshireEagle.com:


“The lawyers love doing it,” said Susan Church, the chief operating officer of the Office for Refugees and Immigrants who came up with the idea for the program. “We had a tremendous response just to the first program in Quincy that we couldn’t even accept all the lawyers who wanted to do it. … The lawyers are really trying hard to get these filed, as many as possible. There was a friendly competition among some of the lawyers at Quincy to see who could break the record for most applications filed in a day.”

The pilot program is funded through the [state’s] Office for Refugees and Immigrants budget, with an estimated cost of $800,000.


The government’s migrant inflow causes ordinary Americans to suffer from lower wages, higher housing costs, and more diverse communities and schools. For example, “the average Massachusetts home value is $628,998, up 6.6% over the past year,” Zillow reported in October.

Wow. Who could have ever predicted that would happen?
 
The Founding Fathers warned us all....
Freedom is fleeting and was never free.

The cost of freedom is true sacrifice and sometimes ultimate in nature. Since NO ONE today is willing to make sacrifices, I can't see how a fall into authoritarianism is not inevitable. The march towards it is self evident.
Even if Harris loses this election (but they may prevail), the march towards totalitarianism will continue even if there is a brief pause or delay.

The root of the problem is mass apathy.
 
Since Massachusetts wants them, the red states need to load up the buses and send the illegals off to their new home!!!

Really? Who are you trying to Bullshit?

Among the worse impacts are to American schoolchildren who are in overcrowded classrooms while the curriculum is "dumbed down" to cater to the illegals who are far behind in the grade level material.
