In the wake of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey announcing out of the blue via a press release on Monday that a second state-backed dedicated residential facility in the Commonwealth to address the needs of mostly homeless immigrants would be opening up soon on the Eastern Nazarene College, Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch announced his kochy ask of the Healey/Driscoll Administration that it hold a community meeting to field questions from locals regarding its plans to open this homeless housing facility in a quiet and mostly residential Wollaston neighborhood.
Shower down or else …

In other words, while one can only reasonably assume that Governor Healey provided Mayor Koch with advance word of her plans to open this homeless housing facility in a quiet Quincy residential neighborhood, Koch is now calling on her administration to be the only entity to catch the only to be expected flack from blindsided and often long-ongoing residents in the neighborhood.
Further, per a prepared written statement, Koch noted, “(w)hile understanding the mission and circumstances surrounding the agreement between the state and the college, information needs to be shared clearly and directly with the community. Overall, my expectation would be that this operation results in no impact to the surrounding neighborhood and that any costs associated with city resources are reimbursed. We’ll be monitoring it closely to ensure that happens.”
Tell us another story Tommy!

In other words, duck and cover his tukas while grasping for benjamins.
In any event, the core of the governor’s plan is to house as many as fifty-eight families in fifty-five vacant dorm rooms and three apartments on Eastern Nazarene’s campus.
Net/net, while Quincy Quarry does not expect much trouble from the migrants projected to live on campus as any misbehavior poses the very real possibility of a one-way ticket back to from whence they came as well as at least an extended prohibition of their endeavoring a future legal reentry into the United States, one can still only assume that Quincy’s public schools will be facing unanticipated expenses and such care of somewhere in the range of fifty to a hundred or more unexpected students with many to most also likely to not be sufficiently English-fluent for schooling and thus will require English as a second language support services as well as other support services just as a new school year will be starting in just over a month.
Take a number …

Additionally, as the plans include opening a Family Welcome Center seven days a way to help apparently most any and all families families in need of housing, migrants could end up blamed for problems caused by anxious to perhaps worse homeless legal US residents.
Accordingly, Quincy Quarry will monitor the situation and report on any future developments as might be appropriate.
It’s great that we can help, BUT at the same time how about first providing housing to the people already here that need it?
These people ARE here and DO need it. We’re not importing homeless migrants en masse; these are refugees and asylum seekers.
Broken government at it’s best, self interest, short term fix. The borders need to be secured to properly screen before allowing these migrants to enter, either that or simply invade that country and own it. Simple example is Europe and Brexit. The government has been hauling their behinds on this issue for decades. The country is formed by migrants, YES, but the original natives did not have a choice, the laws should follow the evolving times. Don’t assume more tenants if your complex is already run down and broken. Last thing we need is a collapse, just look at the other States and the evolving lawlessness.
