BOSTON—In the continued debate over ways to deal with the flow of illegal immigrants into Massachusetts, the state’s Democrat-dominated Senate passed a bill late on Thursday that sets a nine-month cap on shelter stays. However, some Republicans say the measure is meaningless since it includes several provisions to bypass the cap.
“This is just a feel-good bill that, with the number of loopholes built into it, in reality does absolutely nothing to limit the time migrants stay at shelters,” Republican Sen. Peter Durant told The Epoch Times.
