FROM: POLITICO Massachusetts Playbook
GOOD TUESDAY MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS . Republicans, meanwhile, still want to see the state's right to shelter law amended.
The Boston Herald Rag continues their warped coverage, echoing MAGA DISINFORMATION, ignoring FACTS.
It's time to STOP REGURGITATING MAGA LIES & DISINFORMATION!
If you want IMMIGRANTS to stay in their countries, solve the problems the US/CIA CREATED! Little noticed, President Biden made efforts to work with nations south of our border to improve conditions.
Logan Trupiano is just a BLOVIATOR in the mold of Bloviator Carr who needs FACT CHECKS!
At one time, when statistics were published, it was reported that + 60% of those in shelters were Massachusetts residents. Several years ago, Brockton Schools did a survey & determined + 20,000 students were homeless. It's a problem that has long since been ignored!
The issue is the failure of Congress to pass the BIPARTISAN BORDER BILL....put the blame where it belongs! The Orange Turd instructed the MAGA GOP to defeat the BILL because he wanted it to be a campaign issue. You got your campaign issue, now where are the SOLUTIONS? MAGA GOP are incapable of governance. Included in the BIPARTISAN BORDER BILL was funding for DRUG DETECTING TECHNOLOGY which would reveal concealed DRUGS.
Don't expect the DO NOTHING MAGAS to solve problems because they never have!
Gov. Maura Healey asks for $425M more to pay for emergency shelters housing migrants
Gov. Healey orders inspection of state-run shelters following migrant arrested with fentanyl, AR-15 at a Revere hotel
"The only real path forward to ending the migrant crisis," said Logan Trupiano, a spokesperson for the MassGOP, "is through amending the right to shelter law to include residency requirements to qualify for emergency shelter."
BOSTON HERALD RAG indicates that these were CIVIL COMPLAINTS - NOT CRIMINAL!
IT'S TIME TO THINK & NOT MAKE WILD ACCUSATIONS THAT ICE HAS NOT DEFINED!
— “Boston police refused to act on 15 detainer requests from ICE last year,” by Gayla Cawley, Boston Herald: “Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said the department refused to act on all 15 civil immigration detainer requests submitted by federal authorities last year, citing a city law that shields noncitizens from deportation under certain circumstances. Cox, in a letter to the city clerk filed Monday with the City Council, said the 15 requests were ‘not acted upon per the Boston Trust Act,’ which prohibits BPD and other city departments from cooperating with the U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), when it comes to detaining immigrants on civil warrants.”
AMENDING THE SHELTER LAW IS JUST A KNEE-JERK MASS GOP SOLUTION!
There are reports that HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS are filling jobs that Americans don't want!
HAITIAN IMMIGRANTS have TPS STATUS that TRUMP renewed.
Not to bore MAGA DIM WITS with the lengthy history of US MEDDLING in HAITI, but for those seeking enlightenment, LOOK IT UP!
SUBSIDIZED US RICE flowed into HAITI which forced farmers off their land, among other things.
The US/CIA policies that trained murderers at the SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS who returned to their countries to murder & massacre as well as installing brutal thugs destabilized nations. Promoting international corporations to rape their environments & exploit labor exacerbated the economy. You got your cheap bananas didn't you?
Don't ignore ELLIOTT ABRAMS!
Elliott Abrams Blood Soaked Past Should Alarm Everyone in Venezuela
In an exchange that made US news at a House Foreign Affairs Committee, Representative Ilhan Omar confronted Abrams about his conviction for lying to Congress and false statements he made about the infamous El Mozote massacre.
While in the Reagan administration, Abrams wove such particular lies into a tapestry of propaganda that would make Trump proud.
Elliott Abrams’ Dark History in Latin America and the Struggle for Justice
excerpts:
Meanwhile, Argentina isn’t the only Latin American country facing its bloody past—and Abrams played a role in these state atrocities as well.
In Guatemala, Efraín Ríos Montt is standing trial for genocide and crimes against humanity. Rios Montt, an evangelical general who ruled Guatemala in 1982-83 after seizing power through a military coup, was a close ally of Washington who received training at the infamous “School of the Americas”. He is accused of being responsible for “1,771 deaths, 1,400 human rights violations and the displacement of 29,000 indigenous Guatemalans.”
Reagan, with Abrams’ assistance, not only covered up, but aided and abetted war crimes and genocide in Guatemala. For example, President Reagan traveled to Guatemala in December 1982 to declare that Rios Montt was getting a “bum rap”, while praising the dictator’s “progressive efforts” and dedication to democracy and social justice. Just a few days after Reagan’s presidential visit the Guatemalan military massacred 251 men, women and children in Las Dos Erres.
In another recent instance, El Salvador’s President Mauricio Funes apologized and asked for forgiveness for the 1981 El Mozote massacre where the Atlacatl battalion, a notorious US-trained death squad, killed as many as 1,000 people. Like in Guatemala and Argentina, Reagan with Abrams’ help simultaneously armed and covered-up the human rights abuses in El Salvador. The country endured a 12-year civil war which left some 70,000 people dead, with the Reagan-backed government and paramilitaries believed to be responsible for over 90 percent of the deaths. In 1993 when Congress planned to investigate the Reagan administration’s role in human rights abuses in El Salvador an indignant Abrams’ called it “a reprehensible McCarthyite charge,” while also saying that, “The Administration’s record on El Salvador is one of fabulous achievement.”
