Liberal state overwhelmed by migrants, calls up National Guard.

Liberal ​Northern State Calls Up National Guard After Being Overwhelmed by ​Trickle of ⁣Migrants

The very blue state of Massachusetts ‌is so ill-prepared to deal with its relatively small influx⁢ of illegal immigrants that the state’s governor has called in the troops.

Democratic Gov.‌ Maura Healey has activated the⁣ Massachusetts National Guard in order to deal with what she categorized as ⁣an “emergency.”

At‌ least 250 troops will help ⁣her manage an estimated 6,000 immigrant families who have relocated to the ⁢sanctuary state but have nowhere to stay, according to a news‌ release from the governor’s office on Thursday.

“Massachusetts is in a ⁢state of​ emergency, and we need all hands-on deck​ to meet this moment and ensure families have access to safe⁣ shelter and basic⁣ services,” Healy said in a statement.

Maj. Gen. Gary W. Keefe, adjutant general of the Massachusetts National Guard,‍ commented on what his troops ⁤will be doing.

“Our ⁣role in the response to the ongoing housing crisis will expand to leverage‍ our multitude of robust ​and adaptable capabilities⁣ in ‍emergency and⁣ domestic operations to help those ‌in need,” Keefe said.

He certainly found a way to ⁢say a lot and nothing‍ at the same time.

Of course, what⁣ else is he supposed to say, given the situation state and⁤ local Democrats have put him in?

Massachusetts, ⁢like many ​other Democratic-majority states, wears its flouting of national immigration laws‍ as a badge of honor, vowing to protect those ⁤who​ are here illegally.

But things are different in practice, as we⁤ saw last ‌year ‍when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis relocated a small number of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard — and almost all of them were quickly​ sent away.

New York and⁢ California – places where red‍ state leaders such as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have bused ⁤migrants — also have complained loudly ⁤about the influx.

In spite of supporting policies that have⁣ imported millions of​ people into the country⁤ throughout the last two years during a nationwide housing crisis, these people can’t⁢ seem to handle living alongside their new neighbors.

If Healey ‌thinks 6,000 families is an emergency, she should pay a visit to the⁤ border cities and towns from Texas to California whose resources are strained daily by people crossing into the country illegally.

In April, The Associated Press reported that Brownsville, Texas — a place about 180,000 people call home — was struggling to find room for 15,000 migrants.

Other​ cities are facing similar issues⁤ while more and more people flood the system every day.

The answer to all of these issues is for the country’s leaders to​ close the border and prioritize Americans over immigrants.

There is no desire to do that in‍ the White House ‌or at the Department ‍of Homeland Security.

Until⁣ Healy and other high-profile Democrats call out ⁢their party’s failed leaders and policies, they deserve every bit of ‍what they’re dealing with — as do their voters.

Only when ​the ongoing⁤ border crisis⁢ affected their own communities⁣ did these people start to complain.
