Last August, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency over illegal immigrants flooding the state. Massachusetts is a sanctuary state — they should be welcoming these newcomers.

Apparently, things haven't improved, and the illegal immigrant shelters in the state are full. That's the message state officials are taking with them to the border.

WCBV reports:

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey sent state officials this week to the U.S.-Mexico border with a message for migrant families that may be planning to come to Boston.

They plan to tell families, "Our shelters are full," according to a statement from Mass. Emergency Assistance Director General Scott Rice.

…

“This trip is an important opportunity to meet with families arriving in the U.S. and the organizations that work with them at the border to make sure they have accurate information about the lack of shelter space in Massachusetts,” said Rice.

While the state emergency shelter system is at full capacity, Healey's administration said that record numbers of immigrant families continue to arrive in Boston.

"It is essential that we get the word out that our shelters are full so that families can plan accordingly to make sure they have a safe place to go," Rice said.

"Families." How many families are they going to encounter as opposed to single military-aged men?

A new 9-month limit on how long families can stay in emergency shelters was recently approved by the legislature, WCBV adds.

MSNBC hosts ridiculed states that weren't on the border for worrying about illegal immigration.

Sorry, Massachusetts is full. The state is closed. Go somewhere else.

Every state is a border state. And you know Healey will vote for Joe Biden so 10 million more illegal immigrants can cross the border during his second term.
