MIDLIFE MICRO-19, Tuesday, August 08, 2023 - Forty-Eight (48) Contiguous U.S. States.
This is just one State ... "more than 20,000 people in the [Massachusetts] state shelter system."
Twenty-thousand (20,000) is not even half of the number of people pouring across the U.S. southern border on a monthly basis.
This is unsustainable.
Asking, "for more funding and help from the federal government," is not the solution.
Next crisis - but not for Democrats - voter rolls in 2024.

"Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in the liberal state over a surge of migrants that she says has left social services overwhelmed, and she called for more funding and help from the federal government.
Healey, a Democrat, announced that a state of emergency exists 'due to rapid and unabating increases in the number of families with children and pregnant people — many of them newly arriving migrants and refugees — living within the state but without the means to secure safe shelter in our communities.'
"The state said there are nearly 5,600 families or more than 20,000 people in the state shelter system. Healey said there are numerous contributing factors, including 'federal policies on immigration and work authorization' as well as a lack of affordable housing and the end of COVID-era programs."
