...Illegal immigrants are being secretly flown to Massachusetts and kept in local lockups in an under-the-radar operation that has alarmed lawmen who are raising health and security concerns amid recent spikes in detainees coming up from Texas during the latest border crisis.
“We’re all becoming border sheriffs now with these people being carted all over the country,” said Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson... “The blame goes all the way up. It’s a travesty and people ought to be upset,” Hodgson said. “This is un-American and has raised the stakes to the public health and public safety threat.”
...On the receiving end of the buses from Hodgson’s facility was Plymouth County Sheriff Joseph D. McDonald Jr., who said he’s seen a jump in illegal immigrants arriving at his jail and had to deal with “scenarios where we’ve had 100-plus detainees coming in at the same time.”...
...After weeks of denying an increase in flights to the Bay State, federal immigration officials finally admitted this weekend that four planes filled with detainees captured at the southern border have been flown to Hanscom and Logan International Airport since April as part of a “large-scale nationwide response” to the crisis.
As Glenn Reynolds observes:
So now you’ve got Massachusetts sheriffs complaining about the feds: “The blame goes all the way up. It’s a travesty and people ought to be upset. This is un-American and has raised the stakes to the public health and public safety threat.”
UPDATE: From the comments:
Secret camps, secret movements of human cargo. Almost Orwellian or Hitleresque... Just as mysteriously as illegals suddenly appear, makes one wonder when legal citizens may start disappearing.
The bar on paranoia has certainly been raised during this era of Hope and Change.
How can this possibly be legal?
Answer: it isn't.
Gee, maybe a lawsuit will help. Not.
There is an answer. A Constitutional answer. But our Constitution demands leaders with virtue and this we do not have.

ReplyDeleteEuropeans landed at Plymouth rock in 1620 and worked to establish the 13 Colonies which became the United States of America...now, almost 400 years later, are Mexicans "landing" in the same area to establish "America" for all the "Americans" that Ms. Pelosi talked about at the "border" between Mexico and the USA?
I wonder how Massachusetts, a bastion of Liberalism, will react to their new "guests"? I hear Martha's Vineyard is lovely this time of year ;-)
Thanks for reading!

When the ordinary cop picks up that he's been lied to, a person loses their credibility as well as a sympathetic ear. Yet we stand around and let Washington lie like dogs as we turn a blind eye. Illegitimate governance is Michael LaVaughn telling our kids what to eat; Eric Holder selectively enforcing the law; Lois Lerner scrubbing evidence; Obama opening the border - and consorting with our enemies. The list has become a long one and it's not Bush's fault anymore, it is madness masquerading as normalicy.
ReplyDeletesomeone mentioned marthas vinyard. put them there & turin. you will see the limo liberal donators change their tune.
ReplyDeleteObama says:
ReplyDeleteSCREW YOU AMERICA!
If they can be flown across and around the country, they can be flown back to their own countries.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely GDMF right they can go back to their own hellholes!!! IMPEACH OBAMA!!!
DeleteEric "The Red" Holder whines that Americans don't like him and Obamanoff because they are black and Americans are racists. Mr Holder I don't like you because you and Obamanoff are insufferable pathalogical liars that can't be trusted to do anything good for this country and the citizens of it. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/07/13/Eric-Holder-Some-Republicans-Oppose-Obama-Due-to-Racial-Animus
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely take some up and drop them off downtown Martha Vineyards.
ReplyDeleteWe need to clean house now... the WH, the House, the Senate. And I don't just mean vote them out.
ReplyDeleteTheir home lands are closer than that. Cheaper to send them home.
ReplyDeleteThey never should have been brought FARTHER INTO the country in the first place.Now they're bringing diseases with them,and the country is already so broke that their presence here is going to cost this nation PLENTY. MY suggestions are : Impeach Obama, ELIMINATE the Democratic party and all left-wingers and liberals, and GO BACK TO FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION THIS NATION WAS BASED UPON !
ReplyDeletea muster zone for day workers in Marthas vineyard, hmmmm, think those men will ask for upscale pay?
ReplyDeleteI loved the comments about taking them to Martha's vineyard. That was priceless..
ReplyDeleteI find it very hard to understand why you feel the need to get rid of all of the democrats. How many republicans are out there? Did they decide not to vote during the last election? There are suppose to be so many "perfect republicans" out there that are the only ones who know how to do anything, then if that is the case why is Obama still in office? Why was he re-elected the last election? Where were the republicans? Having a beer with GW Bush and thinking that they did not have to worry about anything? I have news for you, the republicans are just as guilty as the democrats. If they weren't and they were out doing their jobs then we would not be in this shape. Do I blame Obama? Yes big time. Am I a republican? HELL NO Am I a democrat? Don't know anymore. I was at one time but after Obama it is hard to be anything anymore. You can't even vote for the one who promises the things that will be the best for the people since everyone lies anyway. We need to get rid of Obama, everyone in DC and in every state that has anyone in any public office and start over. Completely over. Then maybe..................
