The politicians we elected have decided this is what's best. Don't like it? Elect new politicians.

^^^^Yes, it's very clear that they had a child knowing that they couldn't properly feed, clothe and shelter him. Plus they never thought to buy warmer clothing? Weren't they aware of what MA weather was like?

I mean come on.....is everyone really a woke weenie who can't tolerate to hear differing views on the matter?!
This is your job and your future that you're talking about.

People have differing opinions on various matters and should be able to tactfully explain to a manager why they'd like to opt out of something that is optional without having to face any negative repercussions.

With some subjects, it's best to keep quiet. You could get labeled a xenophobe.

Do what you think is best.

I'm just pointing out that you're not doing yourself any favors by publicly expressing "right wing" opinions.

Lol right wing. Let's see how right wing a place like Wellesley or Weston gets if they decide to move migrants there.

This is so bizarre:

Please explain to me why the leaders of our state think these migrants are worth a quarter of billion dollars to help! What is happening?!

I wonder the same exact thing. Just why are these migrants worth all this money? All this money the state is spending that is desperately needed, to help our own state and people. There has been no explanation on this subject, other than the right to shelter law. Or its this states moral obligation to help them. It's all being done at taxpayers expense, without an actual approval from taxpayers.

So things are not adding up. We have far to many residents in the state that are in desperate situations. We have a failing infrastructure that needs massive amounts of money to maintain. Yet the state spends this money on migrants. So where is a complete explanation on the Why to this whole mess. That and just how long are residents, expected to tolerate this expensive influx of migrants.
