Fake news, alternative facts, whatever your favorite synonym is for BS. Where are they being allowed to vote in federal or state elections?

I have no idea. I'm just sayin'..dont assume someone who moved from a 3rd world country will vote in the way that YOU want them to or will vote at all. Some people are too lazy to vote and could care less.

Many of the immigrants who come to the US are actually very traditional and socially conservative. They may be looking to leave the situations in their home nations but they don't just abandon their beliefs and culture when they come here.

Well, I certainly agree with that. So to assert that Democrats want these folks to all come here illegally, have babies, so that 18 yrs from now they can have a bunch of new voters who will support them, is a bit absurd, wouldn't you say?

Thought I was pretty clear. NO. Because they're not allowed to vote in federal or state elections anywhere in the country.

'Under Massachusetts law, DHCD is required to provide shelter for eligible households with children under the age of 21 or pregnant people, including those who have recently arrived in the state. The agency said it uses motels when there are no vacancies in the shelter system and said it provides the families with services and meals.'

So when it comes migrants someone between the ages of 18 and 21 is a child ? Just pathetic.

I actually agree with this (don't fall off your chair ). That's another reason why I find the replacement theory so preposterous.

These people just seem to be getting dropped off in random locations. Methuen and Kingston ?Apparently it has to do with what hotels will take people in. The baymont is pretty shady looking with cheap rates. It's right next to a Mexican restaurant that I've been to a few times. I almost find it funny that they ended up in Kingston which is an overall middle class town with hardworking people who probably aren't open to the idea of paying for illegals and having them go to school with their kids. The baymont is also like a 1/4 of a mile from the elementary school so people are freaking out worried that these folks aren't vetted and how dare they be so close to a school. For the record I don't live in Kingston but I do live on the south shore so this hits close to home. Maybe Cancun and baymont will get some new hires out of the deal.

But why not send them to Cambridge or Somerville? Or that hotel in Dorchester people want to use as a homeless shelter? Are they purposely being kept away from Boston ?
