Massachusetts calls up national guard to cope with migrants as protests rage
|
[NYPOST] Massachusetts officials overwhelmed by arriving migrants colonists have activated the national guard as they scramble for more housing, while aid groups say they have been pushed to the limit and protests abound.
Gov. Maura Healey mobilized 250 members of the Massachusetts National Guard on Thursday to help transport the latest wave of asylum seekers to shelters across the state.
But much like the crisis overtaking the Big Apple, Massachusetts has nowhere near enough housing or resources currently available to accommodate the influx.
Let them live under bridges, like they do in Texas. | "Right now, the non-profits that are in Massachusetts are stretched and so thin they cannot provide anymore staff," state Sen. Jamie Eldridge told CBS News.
While the National Guard can help with the lack of manpower, the state can do little to address the shortage of housing outside of creating new shelters, which local residents vehemently oppose.
Dozens of protesters came out Saturday to the Yarmouth Resort motel, where the state hopes to set aside 100 units for migrant families, many of whom include Haitian immigrants colonists displaced by natural disasters.
