Boston takes over Soldiers’ Home shelter to house illegal immigrants

BOSTON, MA – Just five months after the Commonwealth of Massachusetts gave a virtual middle finger to veterans and their families who planned on attending the Army-Navy football game at Gillette Stadium, Democrat Gov. Maura Healey has struck again.

It is reported by Breitbart that Boston officials, likely encouraged by Healey, intend to turn over the Chelsea Soldiers’ Home to house more of Joe Biden’s illegal immigrants as the city and Commonwealth continue to struggle to accommodate illegal immigrants swarming into the country under the Biden administration.

According to Healey’s office, current shelters are “over capacity,” so the next location on the hit list is the Soldiers’ Home.

The City of Boston, led by incompetent freshman mayor Michelle Wu, plans to house approximately 100 families at the facility. The city has imposed a requirement that any illegals who apply to stay at city shelters avail themselves of taxpayer-funded state programs that “transition them out of state assistance.” Read that again–they need to apply for state programs to help them transition…out of state assistance. Only in a liberal state.

“We have said for months now that our system is at capacity, and we do not have the space, providers, or funding to continue expanding,” Emergency Assistance Director Scott Rice said, as reported by the Boston Herald. “This new certification policy is a responsible step to address the capacity constraints at our safety-net sites. Families will need to demonstrate that they’ve taken action to get on a path toward independence and out of shelter.”

Breitbart reports that applicants must seek work or participate in other training programs. However, Boston may be spinning its wheels as hundreds more are reported to be headed to the city.

City and state officials have been struggling to find ways to house Biden’s illegals, with Healey at one time making the absurd suggestion to have private citizens take unvetted illegal aliens into their homes. As we’ve seen in cities like New York and Portland, Oregon, what could possibly go wrong?

Wu and Healey were slammed by residents of the predominantly black neighborhood of Roxbury when the city shut down a community center there to use as a shelter for people who shouldn’t be in the country, to begin with. Healey was also criticized for housing illegals at Boston’s Logan International Airport.

In February, the Commonwealth reported it is on track to spend one billion…with a “B”…dollars to feed illegal aliens by 2025.

In October, veterans groups were livid after hotel rooms that had been booked by attendees planning to attend the annual Army-Navy game at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough were instead given to illegal aliens.

Healey was forced to declare a state of emergency due to the onslaught of illegals going to the Bay State from the southern border. Under the Commonwealth’s “right to shelter” law, homeless families with children must be provided shelter. Hence, the veterans and their families being kicked out of their hotel rooms.

When questioned about the situation, Healey tried to deflect blame to the hotels.

“I am very distressed to learn that any veteran may have been moved from a hotel who had booked a hotel for that game. As I understand it, those decisions were made by area hotels.,” she told Fox 25 News in Boston.
