Migrant surge strains cities, residents blame Biden administration

Democrat-run sanctuary cities facing growing migrant surge.

Democrat-run sanctuary cities are grappling with a growing migrant surge, and the impact is being felt by both residents and local governments. This issue came to light with a recent video showing dozens of illegal immigrants camped out with small children at Boston's Logan Airport. Similar scenes were witnessed last month at Chicago O'Hare Airport, where around 200 migrants found themselves with nowhere else to go.

A Boston law student and resident, Jill Jacobson, shed some light on the situation during an interview. She explained that not every city is a sanctuary city, creating a difference in migrant presence between different regions. Jacobson also highlighted the unique situation in Massachusetts, as it is the only state in the country with the right to shelter law. This law legally obligates the state to provide housing for undocumented individuals. However, Boston is already grappling with a housing crisis and tight housing market, making it challenging to fulfill this obligation.
