Memo to Maura: Show some compassion.

Not for the illegal immigrants and the criminals among them who have flooded the state.

Or for the anti-ICE protestors attacking law and order.

Gov. Healey, you have shown plenty of compassion for them.

We are talking about compassion for the rest of us. You know, the law abiding, regular hard-working citizens who are putting up with it all, including taxes to pay for the free stuff you are handing out.

Your illegal immigrant-first policy is turning Massachusetts natives into second class citizens and the state into a third world country.

When was the last time you, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, or any other progressive Democrat showered needy Massachusetts citizens with the compassion you lavish on illegal immigrants?

When was the last time you showed compassion to Angel Moms or other victims of rape, child sex exploitation and murder at the hands of  criminal illegal immigrants?

Your idea of compassion is mandating the construction of “affordable” housing in suburban communities which some people fear will be for the illegal immigrants you waved into the state.

Meanwhile, you are coldly taking by eminent domain the homes of citizens in Bourne to make way for eventual construction of a new Sagamore Bridge.

These long-term residents, whose homes are the assets they worked a lifetime for, at least deserve a phone call if not a visit and an explanation from the chief executive.

You don’t own a home, but if you did, how would you feel if the state took it by eminent domain without a word, a call or even a nod?

You can bet that these homeowners would get plenty of attention if they were illegal immigrants instead of citizens.

You continue to blame Donald Trump for all the problems facing the state, but it was you, among many other progressive Democrats, who fought Trump when he sought to shut down Joe Biden’s open borders the first time around.

In fact, you sued Trump 25 times a year for four years when you were attorney general and he was president during his first term. Thirteen of those suits dealt with Trump’s initiatives dealing with illegal immigration.

In 2019 you, along with 20 Democratic attorneys general, sued Trump to halt construction of the border wall. You called it “a power grab.”

With no help from the Democrats, Trump finally succeeded. He built the wall, closed the border and turned the illegal immigrant spigot off.

As attorney general for eight years, you were Massachusetts’ so called “chief law enforcement officer” although, like your successor Attorney General Andrea Campbell, you never put any criminal illegal immigrants in jail.

Your idea of protecting Massachusetts citizens is to usher more illegal immigrants into Massachusetts than out, which is why you lately called on two private airlines to halt flying those slated for deportation out of Hanscom Air Field.

And when ICE goes after other illegal immigrant criminals you as governor side with the criminals and their “ICE Watch Warriors” over the legitimate police authorities seeking to arrest them.

You did this when you commented on the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis even before the facts were in. You said ICE’s tactics were “chaotic, brutal and even deadly.”

This puts you firmly on the side of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Jacob Frye, the mayor of Minneapolis, and Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flannagan, who urged anti-ICE rioters to “put your body on the line.”

That’s what Renee Nicole Good did, and she got shot.

Rather than condemn ICE for doing its job, your advice to anti-ICE warriors should be:

When a cop tells you to get out of the car, get out of the car.

Had she done so, Good would be alive.
