The following report is by The New York Post:
Democratic Gov. Maura Healey announced last week she would convert the historic Chelsea Soldiers’ Home — which was vacant and scheduled for demolition — into a site for 100 migrant families and pregnant women, the Boston Herald reports.
But the proposal comes as veterans continue to face homelessness in the state, with 545 vets experiencing homelessness on a single night in 2023, according to US Housing and Urban Development data.
I can’t believe the Chelsea Soldiers’ Home which is for the Vets is going to [be] used for the immigrants overflow.
How about taking care of the homeless vets first? I am all for helping people but how about taking care of those already here and homeless.
George Belmonte, a Massachusetts resident, commented on Facebook.
Denise Levy also questioned why migrants would be housed at the facility for free while the veterans “who fought for our country are paying to live there.”
“Disgusting!!!” she wrote.
Single veterans who lived at the Chelsea Soldiers’ Home were required to pay $30 each day with a $300 personal exemption from personal income for nursing home care at the facility, according to its website.
Those who did not need nursing home or memory care, meanwhile, forked over $10 a day with the $300 personal exemption.
But the building was shut down when the state opened a larger facility in December, Fox News reports.
Massachusetts officials now insist the new migrant housing will not affect services for veterans.
“Massachusetts has proven that we can take care of veterans and families experiencing homelessness in our state,” Secretary of Veterans Services Dr. Jon Santiago said in a statement, according to the Herald.
State officials say they need to convert the now-vacant building into a shelter to accommodate all the migrants who have entered the state in recent months.
“We have said for months now that our system is at capacity, and we do not have the space, providers or funding to continue expanding,” said emergency assistance director Scott Rice.
Chelsea City Manager Fidel Maltez added that the state is in a “crisis.”
“While this is going to be very challenging, I am very hopeful that Chelsea is going to come through and do what we do best, which is in a time of need, we come together,” he told the Chelsea Record.
Migrants are expected to start moving into the new housing unit this month, but would be required to prove they are working off government assistance by applying for work authorizations, learning English and searching for permanent housing, Rice said.
They would then have to reapply every month to maintain their space at the shelter, which is expected to be operational for six months to a year, according to the Record.
There are currently 240 families living at such shelters in Massachusetts, while another 7,500 migrants are holed up in emergency shelters, according to Fox.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The published numbers for U.S. veterans that are currently homeless are all over the place, with some groups obviously trying to minimize it, but I did see one group report that roughly 64,500 veterans were homeless in 2023, representing 1 out of every 10 homeless person in the U.S. But I am inclined to believe this number is much higher. I have heard numbers much higher, but I cannot find those sources.
At any rate, do they get homes, to they get shelter, do they get healthcare? Well, by golly, of course not, you silly goose! They’re just cannon fodder and expendables, right? Oh, but the illegals, they really matter, and they need our tender love and care.
Of course, I am being sarcastic. This is disgusting, but what else is new these days in the Divided Soviet States of Amerika?
[43] The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. [44] He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.
Deuteronomy 28:43-44
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Anything to make the right angry so that when they’re fully ignited, in power, and with a leader, it’s going to stink to be a leftist!
True, but a lot of them at this point are dependent on the current system to get their benefits, paychecks, and subsidies, and are in deep debt, and thus why they are groveling and kissing Trump’s feet to save them from the coming collapse. That’s the whole reason for Trump: put up an idol to be worshipped so the people don’t rebel. Only when these people go hungry will the rioting start, until then they will submit to more despotism.
Yeah that’s the downside to igniting the right; not that I’m part of the right but these leftist liberals are satanic God haters and satanic KJB haters, they need to be cut off ASAP.
The treatment of vets in this country is downright disgusting!!!
This evil treatment of vets is also happening in Kanadastan. It’s downright disheartening, cruel, and demonic! I’m no prophet, nor the son of a prophet, but I can tell you with all confidence…the nationals of the DSA and Canada are history!
When one reads the 17 SDG’s of the UN, they tell us we’re going to be replaced with other people and cultures. The rich countries will become poor, and the poor countries will become rich: “equity”. Their program is well under way.
Yesterday, a 23% carbon tax was levied upon the Canadian cowards, on top of the 15% we’ve been paying for years, on almost EVERYTHING! That prior tax of 15% is also taxed x 23%! This ensures very few will be able to afford fuel for next winter, and food, etc. until then! Millions will starve to death and millions more will be on the streets to freeze to death because they cannot afford their rent any longer. I’ve never seen homelessness before like I’m seeing now! Crime Minister Castreau has said he will double this tax next year, and every subsequent year! He’s a heartless Hitler, but this time, all the pee-ons are targets!
