After spending several nights camping on the hard ground outside of the MBTA’s Wollaston Red Line Station and which resulted in serious embarrassing news coverage for all manner of public officials, the roughly fifty at least largely Haitian migrants consisting of some men, a number of women — one to perhaps some of whom are pregnant, and children as young as infants were loaded onto passenger vans for transit to state-run temporary housing at locations not specified but definitely not anywhere in Quincy.
Governor Healey’s office was slow to offer comment when asked to comment on the removal of these homeless migrants until hours later when it finally issued statement that did not effectively cover tukas but did stealth criticize the said to have legal resident status migrants new to a strange land.
In short, the timbre of the governor’s statement was nothing to see here so move along as well as that the Governor’s press secretary is surely on vacay this week as well as black-bag publicist nonpareil at least regionally George Raygun was likely unavailable.
Also telling by its absence was any statement by Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch and who is also the Vice Chair of the MBTA Board of Directors.
In any event, Quincy Quarry News was on the scene Thursday afternoon and spoke briefly with an MBTA police officer on the scene.
The officer advised that the MBTA Transit police had not moved any removed any migrants from the Wollation Red Line station or its property during his watch.
Further troubling, the South Shore broadsheet reported that seven stragglers were later left without shelter.
Needless to say, Quincy Quarry News’ ever-growing legions of loyal readers can count on the Quarry to monitor this troubling humanitarian crisis and report updates as appropriate.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has once again demonstrated its unmatched talent for solving problems by simply moving them out of sight. Homeless migrants? Just shuffle them out of Quincy like it’s a game of bureaucratic whack-a-mole. Problem solved, right? Because nothing says “compassion” and “long-term strategy” like kicking vulnerable people down the road to become someone else’s issue. Bravo, Commonwealth, you’ve really outdone yourselves this time. Perhaps next time, instead of just relocating people, we could try addressing the root causes of homelessness and immigration struggles? Or is that too much to ask?
Quincy’s Mayor Koch was very angry upon hearing the news that Massachusetts Governor Healy was committed to moving the newly arrived Quincy residents from their new luxury residences at the Wollaston “T” Station to some other undisclosed location outside Quincy. Unnamed Quincy City Hall workers reported that Mayor Koch was aimlessly roaming and rambling through the Quincy City Hall corridors and offices constantly muttering to himself that these new Quincy residents are my future voters!
