Massachusetts: Migrants Will Not Be Housed at Yarmouth Resort



by PAUL BOIS 4 Sep 2023

Migrants will not be housed at the Yarmouth Resort in Massachusetts after locals protested the move, which would have pushed out paying residents.

Over the weekend, reports surfaced that the offices of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) told local officials in Yarmouth that migrant families will not be housed in the 80-100 rooms at the Yarmouth Resort.

A protest is starting to form outside #Yarmouth Resort in response to the hotel pricing out rent-paying tenants for illegal immigrants to be housed thru @MassGovernor’s office. While theres a handful right now, organizers tell me a lot more people are expected throughout the day.

The move comes after local residents strongly protested the push to house migrants at the Yarmouth Resort, which typically housed resident workers who paid weekly rent. Prior to the proposal, the Yarmouth Resort reportedly began to dramatically hike rent prices in order to push paying residents out, a claim that the owners denied. After initial outcry, the proposed rent hikes were dropped. Per the Cape Code Times:

The weekly rents at a Route 28 condo-motel where workers live may not be going up after all.

One of the owners of Yarmouth Resort has denied hiking weekly rates from $300 to $700, as of the end of July, and said notes to tenants announcing the increase were not approved.

“There was a communication gap. Somebody without final approval sent it out,” co-owner Ashok Patel said on Monday by phone.

“The protesters, mostly local residents, tell me they’re ‘horrified’ the state and hotel owners are forcing American citizens out of housing for illegal immigrants,” former news anchor Tim Dunn wrote on Twitter.

“With the protest growing, a local police officer has been staged near the scene to ensure peace and public safety. No signs at all so far of any disapproval of the protest, and mainly just honking horns passing by showing support for the demonstrators,” he added.

It appears the migrants are already moved in to Yarmouth Resort. I just spoke with two people who tell me they are immigrants who just moved in yesterday and today thru the state run program.

The migrant crisis in the state of Massachusetts has reached emergency levels, with non-profit organizations being stretched thin.

“Right now, the non-profits that are in Massachusetts are stretched and so thin they cannot provide any more staff,” Democrat state Sen. Jamie Eldridge told CBS News.

Gov. Maura Healey even activated the National Guard to support the crisis.

“We’re grateful to the brave men and women of the National Guard for stepping up to help us ensure that every family in emergency shelter has their needs met,” Healey wrote.
