I’m not quite sure why the powers that be are complaining: they wanted this when they declared themselves a sanctuary state
Migrant crisis projected to cost Massachusetts taxpayers $1.8 billion over next two years
A new report analyzed the impact the migrant crisis will have on Massachusetts residents with the state projecting to spend $1.8 billion over the next two years, making it a potential “fiscal time bomb.”
The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released a report on July 24, which predicted The Bay State will struggle to manage the growing number of migrants coming to the state.
“The cost to Massachusetts taxpayers of temporary housing and shelters is enormous, but it pales in comparison to the costs that will accumulate in the future if those in the temporary shelters today remain in the Commonwealth for the long term,” CIS director of policy studies Jessica Vaughan wrote.
In addition to housing, some other costs taxpayers will have to cover include schooling, social services, medical care, and public safety.
These migrants are eligible for certain welfare programs in Massachusetts like food stamps provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, and other public services. Migrants can access these programs even while the federal government prohibits access to such programs.
The state has already spent $1 billion. They should be happy, right? Right?
Illegal immigrants arrested on military base for trespassing walk free after posting five-figure bail
Two Jordanian nationals in the country illegally and who were arrested for trespassing on a Marine Corps base in Virginia have been released from federal custody after posting bond, federal officials confirmed to Fox News Digital.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official confirmed to Fox News Digital that Hasan Yousef Hamdan and Mohammad Khair Dabous were allowed to bond out by an immigration judge in June.
The bonds were $15,000 and $10,000 for Hamdan and Dabous, respectively. Conditions of their release include showing up for immigration proceedings and staying away from Quantico or other military installations.
They’re supposed to appear in court in September, but, you can bet they will be gone.
The ICE official said there was no reason to believe either man had any ties to a terrorist organization, saying “no derogatory information was determined.”
“They are allowed their due process.” a federal source told Fox News “There is no information tying either one of them to any nefarious organization.”
Really? We’re supposed to believe this?
