The Wealthy Sanctuary State That's Going Broke Under Its $1.8 Trillion Illegal 'Time Bomb'

[Sugar Cookie]

It's one of the wealthiest states in America, with residents of its fanciest zip code luxuriating in $3 million red-brick apartments.

But the writing is on the wall for Massachusetts, says an alarming new study.

The 50,000 non-legal migrants who've entered the state since Joe Biden became president are putting a costly strain on schools, healthcare, and other services.

Jessica Vaughan, author of the report for the Center for Immigration Studies, says the state is destined for bankruptcy.

That's because migrants will drain state coffers of a staggering $1.8 trillion over the next two years.

Even though some non-legal migrants will work and pay taxes, this revenue will not come close to the cost of social services for all 355,000 of them, says Vaughan.

'These migrants represent a looming fiscal disaster for taxpayers in Massachusetts,' Vaughan told the Mail.

'Even if they are working, they are not equipped with skills and education to avoid being a drain on public coffers.'

Massachusetts already spends $1 billion each year on emergency shelters, but Vaughan says this masks the real cost on taxpayers.

The influx of newcomers under Biden, including some 10,000 children, 8,500 of whom travelled without an adult, is further straining education, healthcare, and other social services, it adds.

Over the next two years, the combined cost of food stamps, schooling, health care, and public safety could reach a jaw-dropping $1.8 trillion, says Vaughan.

That 'fiscal time bomb' is nearly three times the state's entire economy, which was $615 billion last year.

Gov. Healey, a Democrat, in January joined eight counterparts from other migrant-hit states, asked the White House and Congress for action at the border and billions of extra dollars to keep services running.

But, according to Vaughan, even an emergency grant won't solve Massachusetts' spending woes over the coming years.


Instead, state lawmakers need to cut welfare payouts to migrants and get tough with employers who hire those without papers, she said.

They should also end sanctuary policies that stop immigration officers from launching deportation raids, and even 'tap into' the remittance flowers migrants send back to their families overseas, she added

The Governor's office did not answer our request for comment. The White House and other migration experts have argued that newcomers often work hard, pay taxes and help to grow an economy.
