For John, BLUF: If you overload a system you can crash it. Nothing to see here; just move along.
In yesterday's edition of The [Lowell] Sun we had a page 1 article, below the fold, on the movement of illegal (undocumented) immigrants♠ from the Southern Border States to Massachusetts, and especially Hanscom Air Force Base. The article, by Samatha Allen, is "Hanscom flights of undocumented immigrants raise 'red flags' for rep". It is good to know that at least one of our State Representatives is on this, even if it isn't one of the ones from Lowell. This article basically confirms what Opinionator Michelle Malkin, a legal immigrant, has been telling us for the last few days.
The report by Ms Allen suggests that the ostensible reason people being moved up here is because they are being prepared for repatriation. However, the location of these people, up to 700, per the report, is a bit sketchy. We are being told that there is no Commonwealth monies lost, in that per diem is being paid for these individuals.
This does raise the larger issue of what is going on down on our Southern Border. On the one hand, the Administration has expressed surprise. On the other hand they appear to have been planning for this recent influx of young immigrants since January of this year. One Commentator, Tom Blumer, likens it to the strategy put forward by Piven and Cloward back in the 1960s.
Given the parsimonious use of truth by the current Administration, I would like to hear more. I think the Editor could sell more newspapers if he kept after this. Especially given the low level of reporting by the Mainstream Media.

♠ Remember, it was our Attorney General, Martha Coakley, who told us that it is not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts.
Bring 700 into Hanscom, then disperse them around New England. What a novel way of surreptitiously providing provisional citizenship to those who quite obviously have been "invited" to come to America.
ReplyDeleteOf course this is planned!! Beginning with an RFP issued for the construction of temporary housing facilities for an unspecified number of immigrants. Many will call the suggestion ludicrous that this is completely planned by this Administration. However, its audacity is the greatest evidence that it is in fact true. Just when you think that Obama and his clingons can't do anything more preposterous, they prove you wrong.
Remember, his promise was and remains to "fundamentally transform America." He is doing it.
