Massachusetts, the nation's only right-to-shelter state, is rolling out additional restrictions on its overflow shelters and offering illegal aliens free plane tickets to go elsewhere, according to a recent announcement from Governor Maura Healey's office.Starting August 1, the administration will impose a five-day stay limit on its "temporary respite center[s]." This latest announcement comes just weeks after the state began sending out 90-day eviction notices to push some families to leave the state-run accommodations by September 29.'A serious disconnect between Governor Healey and the actual conditions on the ground in Massachusetts.'Currently, those residing in the state's overflow sites are subject to a 30-day stay limit with an option to reapply. After the new rules go into effect, individuals residing at the respite centers will have to wait six months or more to be placed in the state's emergency family shelter system.According to Healey, there are currently 300 families residing in the state's overflow sites.As part of Massachusetts' "reticketing" program, the state will cover the airfare and travel expenses for illegal aliens interested in leaving the state. During a Tuesday press conference announcing the changes, Healey said, "I want to be clear, particularly to people outside of Massachusetts who may have gotten word that this is a place to come, that we do not have room here in Massachusetts.""We've also offered them the alternative path that they may wish to go to family members or ones they know elsewhere, communities elsewhere in the country, and I think that is a humane and appropriate thing to do," she said.Healey asserted that the five-day stay limit was "in line with the policies of other cities facing similar challenges as Massachusetts and will help give families some relief for a few days while they access the diversion services we can provide, such as reticketing."Healey previously declared in November that the state's shelter system had reached capacity, supporting roughly 7,500 families. Since then, the administration has relied on temporary overflow sites to provide shelter to illegal immigrants on the waiting list for more stable accommodations. As part of Healey's recent announcement, the administration claimed it is not seeking to open additional overflow sites to handle the influx of new illegal arrivals. Those who become homeless because of a no-fault eviction or sudden emergencies, such as floods or fires, will be prioritized to receive shelter space. Families with infants, veterans, and those with significant medical conditions will also be considered first for accommodations. Paul Craney of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance told Blaze News, "These are exactly the type of reforms that people have been asking her to make for months. That it took her this long to get to this point boggles the mind and points to a serious disconnect between Governor Healey and the actual conditions on the ground in Massachusetts. For the past months, the conversation has been all about the need to amend the state's right-to-shelter law. The fact that Governor Healey has felt she's had the power to unilaterally make these changes this whole time and chose to do nothing points to a serious lack of judgment on her part and should be investigated by the legislature."Like Blaze News?

President Joe Biden stepped aside as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee after it became clear to his party that he would lose to Donald Trump this November. But will Democrats fare any better with Vice President Kamala Harris atop their ticket? According to CNN polling expert Harry Enten, it's likely that Democrats are no better off with Harris. 'Kamala Harris is going to have to do better than this if she wants to win the popular vote.' "For all of the excitement that Democrats have over Kamala Harris, it is going to be difficult to beat Donald Trump," Enten explained Tuesday. The reasons for his tempered expectations are clear. Pointing to recent polls surveying Trump's popularity, Enten acknowledged that Trump "has historically been unpopular" but explained the tides are quickly changing in Trump's favor. "The fact is, Donald Trump is more popular now than he ever has been before. So, yes, Democrats can make this switch-a-roo, but they're still going to have to beat Donald Trump — a Donald Trump who is stronger than he has ever been before," Enten said. — (@) Not only is Trump's favorability increasing, but he maintains a narrow lead over Harris nationally. That narrow margin, however, is misleading because it measures voter sentiment — a metric akin to the popular vote — whereas the president is elected via the Electoral College. That means Democrats need a significant polling advantage over Trump to feel safe about their odds on Election Day. But the problem for Democrats, Enten explained, is that "at this point, Donald Trump is running five points better than he was four years ago against Joe Biden." "Kamala Harris is going to have to do better than this if she wants to win the popular vote, but more than that, if she wants to win the Electoral College, which she'll likely have to outperform how she's done nationally because the fact is, if you've got a tie in the national popular vote, that is probably not good enough if you are Kamala Harris," he said. Meanwhile, the Harris campaign argues that Harris is going to perform excellently among young voters. But that's not true. In fact, Harris performs "much worse" against Trump than Biden among young voters, Enten said Wednesday. — (@) Democrats undoubtedly have their work cut out for them.Not only is Harris a far-left Democrat — which makes her less appealing to moderate voters — but a growing share of the groups of voters that historically vote for Democrats are increasingly becoming Republicans. This includes young voters, according to Enten, and black and Hispanic voters. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
