Beyond far-fetched, considering that even DACA recipients have been in limbo for decades. If anything, legalizing their status should have been a slam dunk.

Not to mention...even if some of these migrants become citizens decades from now, they can vote any way they want, for Right or Left. Look no further than the Cuban emigrant community for proof.

Things are going to get very, very interesting when several millions of mostly young males who got a taste of all sorts of freebies are told the are no more freebies...

It's called critical mass - legalizing a few DACAs will **** off a lot of voters and end up being a net loss. Legalizing ten million illegals and putting them on the dole, on the other hand, will more than offset the losses and create another permanent monolithic democrat-voting underclass.

In MA the push is to get them work permits, not "putting them on the dole". And as should be evident, even if all those unlikely dominoes fall, there is no guarantee of how they will vote in the future.

Beyond far-fetched, considering that entry level service jobs in one of the most expensive states in the country will absolutely leave them in need of taxpayer assistance. Especially those with families. And it's tooth fairy stuff to think they wouldn't ultimately vote for the hand that feeds them.

Easy there, don’t spoil the leftie narrative! According to them every last one of the illegals biden&co let in across the border is a brain surgeon or hedge fund manager who will start paying godzillion brazillions of dollars worth of taxes the very second we make them legal and let them vote.

That may be your narrative but it's not mine. We're talking service jobs (including in home healthcare) that are going unfilled for the most part.

^^^^Thank you, Jimrob. My aunt passed in November and my cousins are talking about having a service for her in the spring. When their Dad passed 6 years ago, they had his service in a church on the Upper West Side. Going to NYC these days does concern me due to the "migrant" crime occurring. Thus, I understand your concerns about your upcoming stay.

^^^^Thank you for the advice regarding choosing a place to stay in RI. It's much appreciated. I will definitely keep it in mind when it's time to book a place.

You mean jobs that pay minimum wage which isn't enough to rent a room in an apartment, let alone the entire apartment? And you're telling us with a straight face they won't end up on the dole?
