Out of touch

I agree with Stephen Moore’s article, “Biden elites painfully out of touch.” When will the Democratic working-class realize that the Democratic Party run by these out of touch elites take your vote for granted?  The rich, snobbish, millionaire class look down on the working class.  They expect to get your vote because they have a D in front of their name on a ballot.  The Black community just learned this lesson, again. Migrants are kicking citizens and children out of the Melnea Cass Recreational Center. The elitists like Maura Healey don’t want to upset the rich Democrats in Amherst, Concord, Newton or Somerville even though these are sanctuary cities.  Not to worry, though, Roxbury residents will still vote for anyone who has a D in front of the name on a ballot.

Housing migrants

A major story the other day was about closing MCI Concord as a cost saving measure. Other stories covered taking the Roxbury center for providing a safe, but expensive, when combined with the hotel rooms the city is paying for, refuge for the migrant families and individuals needing cover in Boston.

It seems to me that utilizing Concord for temporary housing might be a possible solution for some of the problems in Boston. Each of the several hundred “rooms” already has beds and semi-private facilities that might be transformed to comfortable and warm place for our visitors to get out of winter, at what might be a lower cost than currently utilized.

Of course a system must be developed to avoid the stigma of staying in what used to be a prison, but it should be better than on the floor at Logan airport, and we already own the prison.

Border woes

Re:  “Border standoff flares as Trump torpedoes migrant bill; Texas tensions rise,” Jan. 28.

Every state has the Constitutional right to defend itself from an invasion.  That’s why the National Guard was established.  This was essential in getting the original 13 states to “sign on” on agree to amalgamate/confederate themselves into the United States.

This issue of states’ rights clashing with Federal “rights” will provoke a Civil War and possibly a war of secession if the Biden regime/administration continues down this anti-American/treasonous path that is destabilizing and jeopardizing American national security at our southern border by allowing millions of immigrants to illegally enter this country with no restrictions.

At this time of great polarization in America, it would be wise of President Biden to step back and reconsider this march toward chaotic disaster.  A nation without borders is just not a nation.
