Massachusetts Residents Not Happy about the Posibility of Young ILLEGALS being Warehoused in Our State

Hey Governor, It brings tears to my eyes thinking about
the sacrifice you could make housing these ILLEGALS
in RICHMOND instead ... Shall we tell the folks it's a go?

Governor Patrick's invitation to house up to 1000 young Illegals at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee and Camp Edwards in Barnstable County is being met with much resistance:

... many officials and residents around the bases voiced strong opposition to bringing migrant children from Central America, saying that they had not been consulted and that they believe the children will pose a public health and financial burden.

“The people up here are going to be up in arms over it,” said George Moreau, president of the Chicopee City Council. “It could be a major disaster for this country.”

Others raised logistical concerns. Staff Sergeant Kelly Goonan, public affairs officer at Westover, said the base does not have barracks where the children could stay.

“We do not have the facilities or personnel to house the children, especially during the weekends,” she said. “We have all four branches of the military, minus the Coast Guard, on our base, so the weekends fill up the limited space we do have.”

Peter J. Meier — chairman of the Board of Selectmen in Bourne, which includes part of Camp Edwards — said the board is set to discuss the plan Tuesday. He said 80 percent of the residents in Bourne he has spoken to oppose the idea

“We need to take care of our own people before we take care of anybody else,” he said.

In Chicopee the sentiment is the same:

In Chicopee, Mayor Richard J. Kos also spoke out against Patrick’s proposal.

“Westover should not be an option because it’s not an option,” he said. “It’s an operational airfield without the logistics to house children and maintain its security without impeding its operations.”

A Patrick aide said Westover has land that could be used for temporary shelters set up by the federal government. Camp Edwards already has barracks available.

Representative Joseph F. Wagner, a Chicopee Democrat, said the governor was rushing through the operation without consulting local communities.

“The fact of the matter is this proposal would come at a cost to Chicopee residents and taxpayers,” he said. “It would place a new and additional burden on our city at a time when people are already stretched too thin.”

In Bourne, Julia Ross-Golen, who works in a gardening store close to Camp Edwards, said the children should be sent back to their countries.

“We will do anything for illegals, and we won’t do anything for Americans,” she said. “I don’t have sympathy for people breaking the law.”

What do you say Deval?

You've got this Beautiful 24 Room Mansion on 70+ acres in the Berkshires that you could open up for these young ILLEGALS. Maybe some of your neighbors in their multi-million dollar estates would be inspired to do the same.
