Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has announced plans to phase out centralized housing for migrants, like hotels, and instead allocate a budget of $21,100 per month for housing them in scattered apartments across the state. This decision follows Donald Trump's presidential victory and his plans for mass deportations, which Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu have publicly opposed, pledging not to cooperate with such actions. The timing has led some to speculate that Healey aims to complicate Trump's deportation efforts in Massachusetts. The state has been in a state of emergency regarding this migrant crisis for over a year, with no resolution in sight.

A taxpayer-funded group, Hacienda Community Development Corporation, offers $30,000 in payment assistance in Oregon to non-US citizens, including DACA recipients, asylees, and green card holders. American citizens are ineligible. One speaker calls this state-sponsored discrimination, asserting the goal is to open up housing to non-US citizens. Another speaker suggests the open border exists so these individuals can vote Democrat. The speakers note a housing shortage in the US, particularly in Oregon, and claim giving $30,000 to non-taxpayers will raise housing prices for everyone else.

FEMA administers federal taxpayer dollars for disaster assistance. In North Carolina, disaster victims may receive only $750, while undocumented immigrants can access over $10,000 in aid through nonprofits, covering housing, food, and healthcare. This disparity raises concerns about prioritizing assistance, as citizens face significant needs post-disaster. The situation appears unjust, with taxpayer money supporting individuals who entered the country illegally while American citizens struggle to receive adequate help. The national debt stands at $35 trillion, highlighting the urgency of addressing the needs of U.S. citizens before extending aid to others.

The United Nations is confirmed to be funding the migrant crisis, as revealed by the Center for Immigration Studies. Public documents show that the United Nations plans to allocate $372 million in cash and voucher assistance to approximately 624,000 immigrants heading to the United States in 2024. This information eliminates any need for speculation, and the article link is provided for further reading.

According to a new report by the US House Committee on Homeland Security majority, the annual cost for housing and caring for asylum seekers is estimated to be $451 billion. This includes expenses for both their accommodation and general welfare.

Hey everyone, Savannah Hernandez here in Boston, one of four cities defying federal immigration law. Massachusetts just allocated $425 million in pandemic funds to house migrants through June 2025. I sent someone posing as an immigrant to City Hall to see what's offered. Many sanctuary cities temporarily house migrants in hotels before permanent placement. Boston's mayor, along with Chicago, Denver, and New York City's mayors, will address a House oversight committee next month on their sanctuary policies. They claim compassion and public safety can coexist, but a recent incident involving an illegal immigrant arrested with 5,000 grams of fentanyl and an AR-15 in a Boston hotel contradicts that claim. Other arrests of illegal immigrants in Boston involved gang activity, child rape, murder, and drug distribution. This highlights the ongoing conflict between sanctuary cities and the federal government, with threats of prosecution and funding cuts.

Hey everyone, Savannah Hernandez here in Boston, one of four cities defying federal immigration law. Massachusetts recently allocated $425 million in pandemic funds for migrant housing through June 2025. I sent someone posing as an immigrant to City Hall to learn what's offered. Many sanctuary cities house migrants in hotels before permanent placement. Next month, Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York City mayors will address a House oversight committee about their sanctuary policies. They claim compassion doesn't compromise safety, but a recent arrest of an illegal immigrant with 5,000 grams of fentanyl and an AR-15 in a Boston hotel contradicts that. Numerous arrests of illegal immigrants in Boston involved gang activity, child rape, murder, and drug distribution. This highlights the ongoing conflict between sanctuary cities and the federal government, with threats of prosecution and funding cuts.

Migrants in Brunswick, Maine are reportedly receiving free rent for 2-3 years in apartments initially intended for Maine residents amidst a local housing crisis. These furnished units include a flat-screen TV, couches, tables, chairs, and a bed. Migrants also allegedly do not pay for utilities like water and electricity. While a one-bedroom apartment in the same complex costs residents $1800 and a two-bedroom costs $2300, the average house price in Brunswick is $480,000. This situation has caused outrage, especially since Brunswick County received FEMA funding, part of nearly $1 billion spent in 2023-2024 on sheltering immigrants. FEMA claims to have run out of funds. Catholic Charities stated they anticipate more migrants, with up to 150 refugees expected by September 30th, in addition to walk-in clients. They assist refugees in securing apartments and seek additional landlords. The situation in Maine is attributed to the open border and immigration crisis.

Hotels in Massachusetts have canceled bookings for veterans and their families attending the Army Navy football game. The rooms have been given to migrants instead. A senator wrote a letter to the Biden administration demanding action on the border policies that allowed these migrants into the country. Massachusetts has a law providing shelter for refugees and illegal migrants, which is why the hotel reservations were canceled. Instead of watching the game in hotel rooms, veterans and active duty personnel are now housing illegal migrants.

The speaker discusses their uncle's experience with FEMA after his home in St. Pete, Florida, was destroyed by a hurricane. FEMA offered him $2,600. The speaker researched FEMA and found that its 2024 budget was $37 billion, with additional funding requested before the hurricane. FEMA is authorized to grant individuals up to $42,500 for home loss and another $42,500 for incidentals, totaling $85,000. Looking into FEMA's 2023 spending, the speaker found that significant funds went to Arizona, Texas, New York City, New Mexico, and Chicago, areas identified as border or sanctuary cities. The speaker contrasts this with the relatively small amount offered to their uncle, an American citizen, and suggests this discrepancy is a widespread issue needing change.

The Roosevelt Hotel, owned by Pakistani and International Air, is still operating despite Mayor Adams' reported intention to close it in June. The hotel closed in 2020, but New York City leased it from the Pakistani company at $575,000 a night, or $200 per room, due to the migrant crisis. At its peak, the hotel housed over 3,000 migrants, costing $4,000,000 a week, or $16,000,000 a month. New York City taxpayers have been paying this amount for the past three and a half years to house undocumented immigrants. The speaker claims New York City has spent billions of dollars funding this crisis and suggests the open border policy is the cause. They state Obama deported over 3,200,000 people, while Donald Trump deported around 175,000. The speaker concludes that the crisis and the housing of migrants in hotels at taxpayer expense would not be happening without open borders.

A migrant family of four in New York receives significant benefits, including over $20 a month in freebies, $500 a night for hotel stays, $130 a day for food, and just $5 a month for their two kids in public school. This doesn’t include additional perks like $1,000 cash gift cards from Mayor Adams, free healthcare, free phones, free legal assistance, and $400,000 in college tuition for dreamers. In contrast, working taxpayers in New York struggle to afford housing, paying around $1,000 for small living spaces. The speaker highlights their own 80 square foot apartment, which costs $1,754.

Hospitals in sanctuary cities like New York City, Denver, San Diego, Chicago, and Boston are facing financial collapse due to the high number of illegal migrants seeking free care, costing American taxpayers over $30 million. For example, a clinic in Chicago treated 16,000 illegal immigrants last year.

Four years ago, the median mortgage was $979, now it's $2,075. 100,000 Americans die annually from Fentanyl overdoses due to open borders. New York City spends $2 billion yearly on migrants. Prices in America have increased by 23.7% in four years. Approximately 10 million illegal immigrants entered the US in the last four years.

$2,000,000 in FEMA funds has been allocated to undocumented immigrants in California for holiday travel. Meanwhile, U.S. citizens affected by floods and hurricanes receive no assistance for the holidays. This situation highlights a perceived prioritization of illegal immigrants over American citizens during a time of need.

FEMA employees have been terminated for allegedly sending $59,000,000 to house illegal migrants in luxury hotels, sparking public outrage. Critics are pointing out the contrast of this situation with the treatment of citizens affected by natural disasters who did not receive adequate assistance. The funds, allegedly sent through a program separate from the disaster relief fund, have done little to quell public anger. Some feel the money could have been used to address homelessness and create housing for American citizens instead. Some are calling for FEMA to be shut down completely.

There is a migrant crisis in New York City, with over 100,000 migrants needing housing, education, and medical care. Mayor Adams wants the federal government or the state to cover the costs, but they refuse. The burden falls on New York City taxpayers, adding to existing issues like congestion pricing, crime, and homelessness. The speaker criticizes the government for not taking responsibility for the problem they created.

I'm in the Bronx, where 2,200 migrant men will soon be housed in this building. Bronx residents are angry because they weren't consulted. This highlights how sanctuary cities, despite the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration, continue spending millions on migrant housing. For example, a women- and minority-owned business received a $340,000 contract, and Garner Environmental Services got a $450 million contract to manage shelters citywide. Residents are protesting the lack of input on this relocation to this building, which was originally marketed as luxury housing with a rooftop terrace. This is just temporary housing; permanent housing will likely follow, a pattern seen in other sanctuary cities and states. I'm here to bring attention to the Bronx residents' concerns about this situation.

Mayor Eric Adams has requested a federal state of emergency and for Massachusetts to do the same as asylum seekers flood their states and sanctuary cities. The cost of the migrant crisis in New York City is $12 billion over three fiscal years, with $383 per family seeking shelter and services each day. Mayor Adams is set to meet with Tom Perez, one of Biden's top aides, but New Yorkers are frustrated that non-residents and non-citizens are receiving more help than locals. Border states like Texas and Arizona argue that they have been dealing with this issue for years. The city is expanding into any available space, such as a tent city at a hospital in Queens and converting turf fields into shelters. This has impacted thousands of students who rely on the fields for sports and mental health.

The government allocated $584 million to assist illegal immigrants through Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services while claiming they couldn't find funds to help American victims of hurricanes and wildfires. During this time, families in North Carolina were living in tents, and those in Los Angeles were facing wildfires, yet the government couldn't provide them with housing. This stark contrast raises serious concerns about priorities. Regardless of political affiliation, if you think this is acceptable, it reflects a disregard for American citizens. Complaining about the exposure of this issue only shows a lack of concern for the situation at hand.

Migrants in Brunswick, Maine are reportedly having their rent paid for up to two years in furnished apartments with utilities included. These apartments were initially intended for Maine residents, who would pay $1,800 for a one-bedroom and $2,300 for a two-bedroom unit. The situation has caused outrage, as the county receives FEMA funding from a program that spent nearly a billion dollars sheltering illegal immigrants in 2023 and 2024, and FEMA claims to have run out of funds. Some African migrants in Maine say they have been treated very well. Catholic Charities stated they expect up to 150 refugees by September 30th and are seeking more landlords to provide apartments. The situation is attributed to the open border and illegal immigration crisis.

A taxpayer-funded group, Hacienda Community Development Corporation, is offering $30,000 to new home buyers in Oregon who are not U.S. citizens. The program is available to DACA recipients, asylees, and green card holders. One speaker calls this "state-sponsored discrimination," arguing the goal is to open up housing to non-U.S. citizens. Another speaker suggests the open border policy exists so that new residents will vote Democrat. They claim this will exacerbate the housing shortage and raise prices for everyone else, especially given that the recipients are non-taxpayers.

A list shows cities, states, and NGOs receiving $1 billion from FEMA to house illegal aliens, funded by American taxpayers. It's unacceptable to spend this money on migrants while Americans in North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida remain homeless and without support. Congress is changing direction to prioritize American citizens over migrants, as this situation is viewed as a failure to the American people. Many are outraged that their tax dollars are used to assist those who have entered the country illegally, while Americans suffer. This misallocation of resources is seen as a significant failure, and there are serious consequences for the American public due to border issues. We cannot allow this to continue.

According to a new report by the US House Committee on Homeland Security majority, the annual cost for housing and caring for asylum seekers is estimated to be $451 billion. This includes expenses for both their accommodation and general welfare.

A migrant family of four in New York could receive over $20,000 a month in free benefits. This includes $500 a night at a hotel, $130 a day for food, and $5 a month for two children in public school. This calculation excludes Mayor Adams' $1,000 cash gift cards, free healthcare at the ER, free phones, free lawyers, and $400,000 in free college tuition per dreamer. Meanwhile, taxpayers with jobs in New York pay $1,000 to live in a closet, such as an 80-square-foot apartment costing $1,754 per month. The apartment is described as being five steps long.
