Even for Massachusetts, this is extremely Massachusetts:
The I-Team is continuing to dig into the cost of the homeless migrant crisis in Massachusetts. Uncovering state contracts that show taxpayers are paying tens of millions of dollars to hotels for rooms and food. Questioning the state oversight and inspection of the properties and the food.
Prior to the present immigration crisis, the Fairfield Inn Boston Dedham charged renters about $129 per night for a room. With the state scooping up nearly 150 rooms for ten months in order to house illegal immigrants, the hotel jacked rates up to $180 a night โ meaning "this one hotel is estimated to collect $8,978,692 from taxpayers."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rooms are not being all that well-kept. One rather thinks they've just cancelled housekeeping for the long-term residents.
But if there's something to be truly offended by here, it's the miserable food that taxpayers are being forced to pay for:
Ahhh, who couldn't love such a delectable offering: Stale bagels, some kind of disgusting soup, a pale gravy with enchiladas or something in it.
It costs $37 per day per person for these meals ($16 for lunch and $21 for dinner).
That's $37 a day per person for disgusting cafeteria food for illegal trespassers instead of essential services for American citizens.
The offerings were repulsive enough to gross out one nutrition professor:
[W]hat was most disturbing to me is the protein source was unrecognizable to me. I didn't know what it was.
This is the world liberals want: Allowing millions of illegal immigrants into the country, putting them up in filthy hotels, and serving them slop.
All on the taxpayer's dime, of course!
