Say what you will about Donald Trump, but there were no illegal immigrants sleeping at Logan Airport when he was president.

Despite criticism and lawsuits from progressive Democrats like Gov. Maura Healey, Trump built the wall and had illegal immigration at the southern border under relative control.

Then Joe Biden became president and reversed all of Trump’s border security measures — from halting work on Trump’s border wall to rescinding his remain in Mexico policy — thereby turning the country into a Third World flophouse.

Massachusetts now, like other states, is so overrun with illegal immigrants that it has run out of places to put them.

Hence, families with no place to go sleep on the floor of the newly renovated and expanded Terminal E at Logan, site of international flights. Despite objections, Heley is shipping them to a recreational center in Roxbury.

It is too bad that airport expansionists who spent some $50 million on the renovations did not have the foresight to provide an in-house haven and beds for the homeless migrants who wait for eventual transfer to overcrowded homeless shelters.

And after another hotel, motel, or recreational center is taken over to house and feed the newcomers, all at taxpayer expense, more will arrive to take their place.

Thanks to progressive Democrats, Logan has become a sanctuary airport in a sanctuary city inside a sanctuary state.

There are currently 7,510 immigrant families in emergency shelter and 600 on the waiting list. Given four people to a family, the number is more than there are residents of such towns as Mansfield, Marblehead and Maynard.

It is projected that the housing, feeding, schooling and medical care for the immigrants is costing Massachusetts taxpayers $1 billion a year, with no end in sight.

It is the biggest crisis facing Healey as she enters the second year of her governorship.

“This is not something that Massachusetts created,” she told the Herald. “It is something that has been created by geopolitical forces by failure to act on the federal level.”

It is noteworthy that Healey never puts the blame on fellow progressive Joe Biden, who opened the borders to let everyone in, including drug smugglers, terrorists and criminals, but on the “federal” government, as though Biden was some sort of bystander.

In addition, while Massachusetts may not have “created” the illegal immigrant problem, it certainly contributed to it.

One way it contributed was for Healey to misapply the Right to Shelter Law to include illegal immigrants when it was passed forty years ago to deal only with Massachusetts residents, not foreigners.

Illegal immigrants are led to believe that Massachusetts would meet all their needs once they arrived at its shores — or at Logan Airport. So far, they have been right.

Another way Healey contributed to the crisis was the aggressive manner in which she, as attorney general, fought every attempt by then President Donald Trump to secure the southern border. She sued Trump coming and going — some 96 times in all — a dozen of which were over his “cruel” border policy.

Hardly was Trump sworn into office than Healey joined in with other Democrat attorneys general to challenge Trump over building the wall along the southern border to keep illegal immigrants from pouring into the country.

Healey said that Trump’s plan to divert funds to build the wall was “an illegal power grab.”

One of Joe Biden’s first acts as president was to halt construction of the unfinished wall.

Healey sued Trump over his banning of immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries and his policy of separating immigrant children from parents, which was aimed at determining if the children did indeed belong to the parents.

She also sued Trump over rules that would have denied legal statutes to migrants on public assistance.

“This rule is designed to scare immigrants in Massachusetts and prevent people from accessing basic services for which they are eligible that keep our communities healthy and safe,” Healey said at the time.

She sued Trump over his plan to exclude illegal immigrants from the U.S. census count, among other anti-Trump border policies.

“In Massachusetts, we stand with our immigrant communities,” she said.

That is why more illegal immigrants are coming. If you invite them, they will come.
