Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey Allocates $426 Million to Support Migrants, Remove Citizens

0:00

Massachusetts Democratic Governor Maura Healey has approved a state budget that allocates an additional $426 million for housing undocumented immigrants, despite the state being one of the worst for its citizens leaving. The state, known as a sanctuary state, has a “right to shelter” law that mandates the government to provide housing for homeless individuals for a certain period. This has led to hundreds of millions being spent since President Joe Biden’s border crisis began.

The projected cost of providing shelter for migrants is expected to reach one billion dollars by 2025. There are approximately one million immigrants in the state, with nearly 4,000 noncitizens being granted asylum since 2023. Furthermore, the state has funded shelter for up to 14,000 migrants from Haiti since 2022.

As the number of migrants entering Massachusetts increases, there has been a significant exodus of citizens from the state. According to United Van Lines, outgoing movers outnumbered incoming movers, with Massachusetts ranking seventh in the nation for citizens moving out. Boston has experienced a particularly high outward migration, with nearly 27,000 citizens leaving Suffolk County between 2020 and 2022.

In addition to the citizen exodus, top tech companies in the state have cut back, shedding over 2,700 jobs in 2024 alone. The replacement of contributing citizens with migrants, who often rely on welfare programs, has been likened to a Ponzi scheme for immigration.

The trend of Americans fleeing Democrat-controlled cities like New York and San Francisco due to poorly managed policies has been described as an “international migration Ponzi scheme” in an article by Compact magazine.
