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).
