Humanitarians are far from perfect, and their numbing views are predicated on a lot of things they claim to dislike (imperialism, views of superiority, and so on). No one said "humanitarianism is great" other than humanitarians, or people who haven't really looked at the course of history.

Never mind that in order to help people, you should either help them where they are, since it'll always be cheaper, or you need to prepare. In this case, we aren't even prepared for our own people to live a proper life as expected in decades prior.

>it's expanding the state's capacity to handle anyone in need of housing.

It shouldn't help anyone in need of housing. It should help people with closer ties to the actual land and community.

Cool, you got the special hookup with all the other state governor's to make them stop sending people, or....?

"It shouldn't help anyone in need of housing. It should help people with closer ties to the actual land and community."

What does this even mean? You already have a system to help people in Mass, including people who have been born and raised there, should they need help. This is just bolstering that system. What does your statement actually mean?
