<~~~~~~~~~~>Those in need will need to move to Massachusetts to apply for the shelter assistance.
My American ancestry..Mom's side arrived with the Spanish in the early 1700's, Dad's side arrived with some dispossessed Catholics in what is now Maryland--around 1690.
All irrelevant--as the natives were here first.
I think the big drink now is test tube babies.And kids are allowed to request B-52's and free candy.
They can also get shelter. It is a law in Mass.
I'll keep that in mind if I ever lose my house. What happens to working people if they cant afford their property taxes?
And the government throws you in jail and takes everything you ownThey don't pay them.
This sounds like an issue that the taxpayers in that state need to worry about.
Nope, that is not how it happens in the places I have lived.And the government throws you in jail and takes everything you own
FAKE NEWS ALERT!
Based on 2025 and early 2026 reports, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey's administration expanded the HomeBASE program, allowing eligible families—including those in the state’s emergency shelter system—to receive up to $30,000 in housing assistance over a 24-month period. [1, 2]
Here is a breakdown of the benefits mentioned in the reports:
The program, which is largely funded by taxpayers, has faced criticism from state lawmakers regarding its high cost, while supporters, including the Governor, have highlighted the need to move families from temporary shelters into long-term housing
- Housing Assistance ($30,000): Eligible families in the state-run emergency shelter system can receive up to $30,000 over two years to assist with finding permanent housing, including first/last month's rent, security deposits, and stipends for rent. [1, 2]
- Expansion of Benefits (2025-2026): Reports indicated the Healey administration increased funding for the HomeBASE program to $97 million in 2025, with a significant rise in the number of families receiving assistance. [1, 2]
- Other Benefits (EBT, Food, Health, Cable): While the $30,000 housing assistance is a verified part of the HomeBASE program, claims regarding $4,000 monthly in EBT cash, $500 for food, and free cable are being cited by political critics and news outlets covering the controversy. [1, 2, 3]
- Eligibility and Restrictions: As of early 2025, new rules require applicants to show lawful presence, residency in Massachusetts, and provide identification to be eligible for emergency shelter. The state also capped the number of families in the emergency shelter system at 4,000 for the 2026 calendar year. [1, 2, 3]

One more weirdo posting for MAGA nonsense, conflating all sorts of things.“Lawful presence” = asylee claimants..
So anyone who claimed asylum, despite not having a legitimate asylum claim, is “lawfully present “
"not having a legitimate asylum claim?" Wow, boy oh boy, are you seriously foolish“Lawful presence” = asylee claimants..

Oh? Ever hear of “tax evasion”?Nope, that is not how it happens in the places I have lived.

Asylum seekers are generally considered lawfully present in the United States while their application is pending, particularly for purposes of health insurance eligibility under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), provided they have authorization to work or are under 14 years old. While their claim is pending, they are not authorized to be removed from the country, and they are in a authorized period of stay. [1, 2, 3, 4]
"not having a legitimate asylum claim?" Wow, boy oh boy, are you seriously foolish
If we could consolidate all the illegals in America in Mass that might bring libs to their sensesThose in need will need to move to Massachusetts to apply for the shelter assistance.
conflating things againNot at all, you see, 99.99999% of all of these illegals who are claiming asylum do not have a legitimate claim. You can’t claim asylum for economical reasons, and the government of Mexico is not persecuting their citizens, and those from beyond Mexico should have stopped at the first safe country, rather than leaving their country and traveling all the alway across Mexico to get to the US.
No, it will just be a 3rd world hellscape, by the way, you know when we’re no longer the majority we’re not going to take care of the infrastructure right and everything’s gonna fall apart and you’re gonna live in South Africa then watch those demographics rapidly dwindle.Well no, that's just a racist trope you buy into..but..if it happened, as it will..that White people decline in the US population:
America without White people would still be America.
Just not YOUR America~
Demographics are a b****h, eh?
