Massachusetts Gov. Healey Saw Trump’s Migrant ‘Abuses’ in Tijuana

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has wrestled with a migrant crisis for much of her time in office, a problem she helped to create and then blamed everyone from Donald Trump to Joe Biden to Congress for allowing it to get out of hand.

Everyone but Healey is to blame for the crisis that has cost Massachusetts taxpayers more than $2 billion to date. The Massachusetts Legislature recently allowed Healey to spend another $100 million monthly through June on migrant housing.

Healey declared a state of emergency in Massachusetts on August 8, 2023, when it became clear that her buddy Joe Biden would not fund the migrant invasion that Healey encouraged as attorney general before being elected governor.

Healey has been steadfast in her finger-pointing, blaming Congress for failing to fix "a confusing tangle of immigration laws, an inability for migrants to obtain work authorization from the federal government, an increase in the number of people coming to Massachusetts, and the lack of an affordable housing supply in our state."

Healey never once demanded the Biden Administration stop the flow of illegals by closing the border or advocate changes to the state's so-called "right to shelter law."

A promise of generous benefits and a right to shelter acted as magnets for the new arrivals to our country.

In March 2019, then-Attorney General Healey visited Tijuana, Mexico to see "firsthand some of the abuses of the Trump Administration," which Healey referred to as "injustices."

Healey posted a video on her Facebook page stating, "It's incredibly sad, it's incredibly heart-wrenching and it's absolutely un-American."

Healey said she was "really glad to be able to carry back to Massachusetts the experiences and stories" of "these folks who find themselves in really unimaginable circumstances."

Is it a coincidence that immigration to Massachusetts has spiked with nearly 51,000 international migrants pouring into the state in just 2023 alone?
