Hotels canceled Army-Navy game room reservations due to migrant crisis. Now, some are calling for changes to Massachusetts’ right-to-shelter law

Vets ans military families lose their reservations.

Even booking a room in advance doesn’t stop them from taking it back for migrants.

what’s next, booking them cruises.

Seems like homeless children should get first priority to housing....but, also seems like every country on earth should have some control over who they do and do not let into their borders. 

But, the crazy part of this story to me is that nobody cared until it affected a football game.

why don't we stop calling this a "migrant" crisis, and call it what it is? it is an illegal immigration crisis.

It’s an invasion.

It feels like we're channeling Roy Thinnes,  (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061265/) and like in his case, no one is listening.

I still favor 'illegal alien invasion'. This is still (believe it or not) the legal term in U.S. law.

Immigrant imparts a hint of legality, and for the vast majority of these foreigners, there is none.

And it is most definitely a calculated and purposeful INVASION!

AFAIK, Massachusetts is the only state to codify the right to shelter. Other states have published it as policy lot lawm
