The Ordeal Of Immigration In Massachusetts

I’ve been telling you for weeks about the dire effects of our open-border policy on New York City and Chicago. Well, here’s a story from Massachusetts.

This is from a Borderhawk Blog article by John Thompson, Co-Chair of the Massachusetts Coalition for Immigration Reform. Article title: Massachusetts Collapsing Under Weight of Unbridled Illegal Immigration [September 5, 2023].

Sample quote:

As illegal immigration surged between 1990 and 2007, it remained modest in Massachusetts. When the housing bubble burst in 2007, illegal workers began leaving states with high concentrations like California, Florida, and Arizona and moving to states like Massachusetts where the unlawful resident population, which was fewer than 100,000 in 2007, is now over 300,000 — some five percent of the state’s population.

Thompson gives an account of the consequences, with links to supporting data.
