Lucas: Healey could tackle immigration invasion by restarting New England Regional Commission

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:21:45 GMT

Gov. Healey could do herself and Massachusetts a lot of good if she regionalized the state’s serious immigration problem.If she doesn’t soon get a handle on the immigrant invasion of the state, it will bury her administration.It will not be easy, but nothing is when it comes to dealing with the influx of Immigrants from around the world — both legal and illegal.They have flocked to Massachusetts to partake in the state’s generous welfare policies, policies that have overwhelmed the state’s ability to care for them.The policy was written forty years ago to deal with homeless Massachusetts residents but has been liberally interpreted to include homeless immigrants from around the world.It is as though the state hung a “Welcome to Massachusetts” sign around its neck. So they have come, and are still coming. Why not? Everything is free in Massachusetts.Except that the Legislature, temporarily stymied, will appropriate another $250 million to help pay for the housing, feeding...

The ruling came months after a trial held in June in Fargo.In his ruling, Welte said the plan approved by the state Legislature to redraw voting districts in accordance with the latest census data “prevents Native American voters from having an equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice” – a violation of the landmark civil rights law.Welte gave the Republican-controlled Legislature until Dec. 22 “to adopt a plan to remedy the violation.”The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and the Spirit Lake Tribe alleged the 2021 redistricting map “packs” Turtle Mountain tribal members int...
