The Case For Mass Deportation

Deportation is necessary not only to bring back law and order and protect the working class, but also to restore the full political rights of every American.

Gov. Hochul suddenly eager to help deport criminal illegal aliens — but wants to keep other migrants in New York



Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York suddenly seems eager to help deport criminal illegal aliens under a second Trump administration but wants to help other migrants in her state stay put.

On Tuesday, Hochul held a press conference in Queens, where she was asked about the deportations President-elect Donald Trump has promised to conduct after taking office next month. In her response, Hochul pledged to be "the first to call ICE" on illegal aliens who commit other crimes.

"If someone breaks the law, I’ll be the first one to call up ICE and say, 'Get them out of here,'" she said.

"There are other people who commit crimes or are known to be criminals before they arrived here. When those are identified, I'll be the first one to help get rid of them," Hochul added. "I don't want them here. I don't want anybody terrorizing my citizens."

Assembly member Catalina Cruz ... a 'formerly undocumented' immigrant, rushed to Hochul's defense, insisting that Hochul really is a friend to illegal immigrants — or, as Cruz called them, 'law-abiding undocumented Americans.'

Though she spoke emphatically about the need to deport illegal aliens who broke the law to steal into the U.S. and then went on to commit other crimes, she switched to a more conciliatory tone when discussing other migrant groups living in New York. She noted the "difference in categories of individuals" and expressed interest in helping those granted Temporary Protected Status and those "with legal papers, like they came and they’re seeking asylum."

"I want them to get the proper work permits. I want them to keep their temporary protective status if that’s what they have. I want to make sure that they’re part of — contributing to society while they’re here," she explained, according to the National News Desk. "That’s separate from people who are criminals."

"Those who come here legally — we want to get them jobs. I have 460,000 open jobs in the State of New York."

Many New York activists and Democrats were shocked by Hochul's rhetoric regarding illegal immigrants.

Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition, begged Hochul not to assist with Trump's "dangerous games." "Now more than ever we need leadership from Albany," he said. "We need New York’s elected officials to stand up for and defend all of our immigrant neighbors."

Assembly member Catalina Cruz, whom City & State New York described as a "formerly undocumented" immigrant, rushed to Hochul's defense, insisting that Hochul really is a friend to illegal immigrants — or, as Cruz called them, "law-abiding undocumented Americans."

"Given the work my office has done with this administration, I have no doubt that these statements lacked context and dimension," Cruz said in Hochul's defense. "I know that she will remain dedicated to advancing the goal of assisting those individuals and families that have come to New York with hopes and dreams of a better life for themselves and their families."

In the last several years, some 200,000 so-called "asylum-seekers" have moved to New York, and City & State New York reported that as of July, as many as 875,000 total "unauthorized" persons may be living there.

Citing the Institution on Taxation and Economic Policy, City & State New York claimed that the "undocumented" immigrants living in New York are "contributing to the state’s economy." However, the outlet made no mention of the billions of taxpayer dollars spent on housing and feeding them.

Appeals court hands Texas a big victory, making it harder for Biden admin to let in illegal aliens



The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit handed the Lone Star State a big win Wednesday, barring the Biden administration from "damaging, destroying, or otherwise interfering with Texas's c-wire fence in the vicinity of Eagle Pass."

The Biden administration has worked feverishly in recent years to hinder the state's efforts to secure its southern border with Mexico. These efforts have focused in large part on Shelby Park, a 47-acre municipal park in Eagle Pass where hordes of illegal aliens have stolen into the homeland.

The question of whether state troopers and members of the Texas National Guard could lay nearly 30 miles of concertina wire in the area has been batted around the courts for over a year.

The Fifth Circuit Court issued a temporary order in December 2023 prohibiting the Biden administration from cutting wire except when faced with medical emergencies. The following month, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated the order and kicked the matter back down to lesser courts.

Although the legal dispute was far from settled, Texas lay wire anyway, citing its need and responsibility to "maintain operational control."

The installation of nearly 70,000 rolls of razor wire in Eagle Pass along with fencing and shoreline barriers apparently helped make an immediate difference. According to the Media Research Center, after closing off Shelby Park in January, the number of illegal alien encounters dropped 325% from the previous month and 41% from January 2023.

Federal agents responded to the reinforcement of the border by cutting through the wire on multiple occasions —something the Border Patrol union stated would "undoubtedly encourage more illegal immigration" and hinder Border Patrol agents' efforts to target criminal elements crossing the border illegally.

'This is a good win for Texas, a good win for the country.'

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, rumored to be under consideration by President-elect Donald Trump for the next FBI director, sued the Biden administration in October, accusing Border Patrol of illegally destroying state property when helping foreign nationals flout American law.

Paxton's lawsuit indicated further that federal agents "not only cut Texas' concertina wire, but also attach[ed] ropes or cables from the back of pickup trucks to ease" illegal aliens to steal into the country, reported the Texas Tribune.

District Judge Alia Moses granted the state temporary relief, allowing federal officials to cut wire only in cases of life-threatening medical emergencies.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 opinion Wednesday granting Texas a preliminary injunction against the Biden administration. Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan, who was nominated to the court by President-elect Donald Trump, noted in the majority opinion:

The injunction is not barred by intergovernmental immunity because Texas is seeking, not to "regulate" Border Patrol, but only to safeguard its own property. Nor, for similar reasons, is the injunction barred by the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA"). Finally, Texas has satisfied the injunction factors from Winter v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7 (2008). Most importantly, the United States does not even contest that Texas has shown it will likely succeed on its state law trespass claims.

The court noted that while the Biden administration contends that the concertina wire poses a risk to human safety, the administration's own behavior does as well as it has "facilitated and encouraged aliens to 'undertake the dangerous task of crossing the river.'"

The court also rejected the Biden administration's argument that the Lone Star State's fencing undermines international relations, adding that "concerns about international relations do not erase property owners' rights over thousands of square miles along the border."

The lone dissenter on the court was a Biden-nominated judge, Irma Carrillo Ramirez.

The ever-defiant Republican Gov. Greg Abbott noted in response to the ruling that Texas will "continue adding more razor wire border barrier."

Paxton called the result a "huge win for Texas," tweeting, "We sued immediately when the federal government was observed destroying fences to let illegal aliens enter, and we've fought every step of the way for Texas sovereignty and security."

"It was shocking to me that the federal government would go out of their way to cut razor wire to allow illegals to cross when we're just trying to protect our own land," Paxton reportedly told Newsmax Wednesday evening. "This wasn't their land. This was our land, our private property. It had nothing due to the federal government. So this is a good win for Texas, a good win for the country, that this court recognized our ability to protect our land."

The Tribune noted that a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not respond to its request for comment.

Radical Maryland mayor vows to help illegal aliens fight Trump's deportation efforts using taxpayer dollars



A radical mayor in Maryland has pledged to devote taxpayer dollars to help illegal aliens living in his city fight President-elect Donald Trump's deportation efforts.

On Thursday, Mayor Michael O’Connor held a press conference at city hall in Frederick, a city of 78,000 residents about 50 miles northwest of Baltimore. During the press conference, O'Connor vowed to stand firm on a number of left-wing issues, including protecting illegal aliens.

'I'd rather our taxpayer money go towards American citizens.'

As part of that pledge, O'Connor promised to earmark part of the city's budget to create a legal advocacy fund for illegal aliens, thereby "ensuring they have the legal support they need to stand strong and remain in this community they have chosen to call home."

WBFF claimed that all of the Frederick residents who spoke to the outlet about O'Connor's remarks opposed the idea of taxpayers paying for attorneys for illegal aliens.

"I'd rather our taxpayer money go towards American citizens," said Rachel Pett.

"You break the law, it's just what happens, added Ryan Head, who noted that U.S. citizens in Frederick are not afforded the same luxury.

"Nobody helped me pay for my attorney fees when I break the law. So, why should we be paying for theirs out of taxpayer money?"

Taxpayer advocate David Williams likewise claimed that Frederick cannot "afford" the legal advocacy fund since it would deprive other municipal agencies of badly needed resources. "Taxpayer money should be going towards infrastructure and the basic needs of the community. This is not a basic need of a community of Frederick," Williams said.

Rita Darko said that while she appreciates the contributions immigrants have made to her community, she is still "torn" about using public dollars to pay for their legal costs.

State Delegate Jesse Pippy, who also chairs the Republican Party of Frederick County, called parts of O'Connor's speech "egregious" and "highly inappropriate," according to the Frederick News-Post.

In response to a request for comment, O'Connor told WBFF: "This could support any resident in our community, and while we will never get everyone to agree on everything, working to support residents who may be fearful through trusted community partners is worth advocating for."

The city council must first approve the fund before it can become a reality. None of the five members responded to WBFF's request for comment.

Like Democrats around the country, O'Connor also promised that local law enforcement would not assist "outside agencies attempting to detain, deport, or remove" any Frederick residents.

In addition to his remarks about illegal aliens, O'Connor vowed during the press conference to "stand unequivocally" for unrestricted abortion access and those who identify as LGBTQ+.

"Being a safe, inclusive community is a distinction I am immensely proud of, and our residents have my commitment that we will maintain the perfect score, and we will continue to be a safe, inclusive community for anyone as long as I am mayor," he said.

These positions appear to stand in direct contravention to the teachings of O'Connor's religion.

A biography for O'Connor listed on the city website makes several references to his Catholic faith. Not only did he attend a Catholic prep school and university, but he claims association with Saint Katharine Drexel Catholic Church and to be a volunteer member of the Knights of Columbus.

The Catholic church ardently opposes abortion and believes that all "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."

Texas makes Trump enticing offer to help facilitate mass deportations



While blue cities and states across America vow to protect illegal aliens from deportation in President-elect Donald Trump's second term, Texas now stands apart, having offered a large swath of land to help facilitate such deportations.

On Tuesday, Dawn Buckingham, a medical doctor and the commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, sent Trump a letter, offering just over 1,400 acres of land along the U.S.-Mexico border in Starr County, Texas, "to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation's history."

According to the letter, they recently secured Fronton Island, the largest island in the Rio Grande and a hotbed for human trafficking and cartel violence.

Buckingham claimed that the state purchased the property just a few weeks ago to build another mile and a half of Trump's wall. She also noted that the previous owner was hostile to efforts by law enforcement to secure the border.

"Her actions enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land for some time," Buckingham wrote.

Buckingham told Fox News, the first outlet to report the letter, that she fully supports the MAGA agenda regarding illegal immigrants, especially those who have gone on to commit other crimes in the U.S.

"I am 100% on board with the Trump administration's pledge to get these criminals out of our country, and we are more than happy to offer our resources to facilitate those deportations of these violent criminals."

According to Buckingham, the land in Starr County is particularly well-suited to a holding facility since it's mostly flat and therefore "easy to build on." She also noted that it is conveniently located near the Rio Grande and international airports.

The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment from the Texas Tribune.

Regardless of whether Trump accepts the offer, Buckingham and other Texas officials have already made major strides in protecting the U.S. border. According to the letter, they recently secured Fronton Island, the largest island in the Rio Grande and a hotbed for human trafficking and cartel violence.

While clearing the island of brush and vegetation and installing razor wire along the river, officials discovered evidence of "weapon caches and even improvised explosive devices," Buckingham wrote.

Since that initiative to secure Fronton Island, "All cartel-related activity has dropped to zero," she said.

Arrested illegal aliens from sophisticated Chilean theft ring set free since charges against them aren't bail eligible in NY



Arrested illegal aliens from a sophisticated Chilean theft ring were set free last week because the charges against them aren't bail eligible in New York state, WABC-TV reported.

The station said six men entered Florique Florists on Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury on Long Island just after 3 a.m. Nov. 7, cut through the roof, and then cut through a wall connected to Elegant Jewelers, Burglary Squad Detectives said.

'We need a change in these laws. Give the judges back their discretion. Let us do our jobs.'

The group left without taking any merchandise, but Nassau County Police told WABC they used radio jammers to hide the alarm system.

"How dangerous is that?" Nassau County Police Dept. Commissioner Patrick Ryder asked, according to WABC. "If someone is calling for an emergency, or another cop is called for an emergency and his radio doesn't work, because these thugs are inside trying to jam the radios so we don't get the alarm?"

All of the illegal aliens were arrested the next day at a home in Huntington they were renting, WABC said, adding that Homeland Security flagged all of the men as potential threats.

Police said Immigration and Customs Enforcement was notified, and while "one defendant has been remanded," the remaining five "have been released with no bail."

Turns out authorities weren't able to detain the five remaining suspects because their crimes were not bail eligible, WABC reported.

Police added that two of the suspects didn't report for their electronic monitors — and the three who did report cut off their electronic monitors. The station said they cut them off in New Jersey.

All of the suspects are charged with burglary and criminal mischief, WABC said.

New York bail laws at center of controversy once again

Authorities on Long Island are calling for a change to New York's bail laws in the wake of this incident, the station said.

Neither Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman nor his law-enforcement partners minced words about the situation, WABC reported.

"It's a damn disgrace," Blakeman said.

County District Attorney Ann Donnelly said she's "sick of it. We need a change in these laws. Give the judges back their discretion. Let us do our jobs."

Trump names his border czar, revealing he means business



President-elect Donald Trump announced Sunday that former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement Thomas D. Homan will serve as "border czar" in his incoming administration.

"The Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation's Borders ('The Border Czar'), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security," Trump noted on Truth Social.

"I've known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin," continued Trump. "Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job."

Homan, the president and CEO of Border911, has proven himself to be a no-nonsense law enforcement official, unwavering in his belief that like other criminals, illegal aliens "should be afraid" when flouting America's laws.

Trump promoted Homan to acting ICE director in January 2017, then nominated him as director. According to the New York Times, illegal immigration arrests skyrocketed 38% under Homan from Jan. 22 to April 29, as compared with the previous year under former President Barack Obama, who gave him the government's highest civil service award in 2015.

"These statistics reflect President Trump's commitment to enforce our immigration laws fairly and across the board," Homan said at the time.

Extra to criticizing so-called sanctuary cities and demonstrating a willingness to go after any of the tens of millions of illegal aliens who had stolen into the homeland, Homan helped blow up Democrats' family-separation talking point, underscoring that the U.S. has separated minors and adults at the border for over three decades.

'I got down on my knees, put my hand on the child's head, and said a prayer.'

When Homan — whose Senate confirmation never came — retired in April 2018, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen stated,

Under his exceptional leadership, the men and women of ICE have made significant progress in restoring the rule of law to our immigration system. Consistent with the priorities set out by President Trump, the past year has seen arrests increase by 40 percent, interior removals increase by 30 percent, and the highest number of MS-13 arrests since 2008. But perhaps most important to Tom is that employee morale at ICE is the highest it has been since 2010, which I believe is due in large part to his passionate leadership.

While the liberal media has attempted in recent years to characterize Homan as callous, he revealed to the Atlantic in 2022 that his desire to end illegal immigration and secure the border was not born solely out of a sense of duty to the nation and his fellow citizens but also out of a sense of humanitarian responsibility to would-be border-jumpers.

In 2003, he was reportedly called to a crime scene in Victoria, Texas, where over 70 illegal aliens had been found crammed into a semitruck. When the trailer was opened, corpses tumbled out. Seventeen were dead, and two more would ultimately die. Among the dead was a 5-year-old boy — the same age as Homan's son at the time.

"I got down on my knees, put my hand on the child's head, and said a prayer, because I could only imagine what his last hour of life must have been like, how scared he must have been. Couldn't breathe, pitch black, begging his father to help him. His father couldn't help," said Homan. "What was his father thinking? He'd put him in that position, right? His father was probably saying, 'I can't believe I did this.'"

'What price do you put on national security?'

Homan added, "That one instance made me who I am today, because it's preventable. We could stop this."

Homan demonstrated the continued strength of his resolve in an interview last month with CBS News' "60 Minutes." When asked about the potential cost of deporting one million illegal aliens a year, Homan said, "What price do you put on national security?"

The former ICE boss further revealed a resistance to emotional manipulation.

Correspondent Cecilia Vega concern-mongered about the possibility families might be separated as a consequence of mass deportation. Homan reassured Vega, "Families can be deported together."

While Homan is likely to succeed in the position, the previous border czar, failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, set the bar incredibly low. After all, she oversaw the illegal entry of tens of millions of foreign nationals into the country, including terroristic gang members and human traffickers.

Homan told Fox News over the weekend that the deportation campaign is "going to be a well-targeted, planned operation conducted by the men of ICE. The men and women of ICE do this daily. They're good at it."

Judge strikes blow to Biden-Harris admin’s mass amnesty program



On Thursday, a federal judge dealt a significant blow to the Biden-Harris administration’s plan to provide mass amnesty to at least 550,000 illegal aliens currently residing in the United States.

Earlier this year, a coalition of 16 Republican-led states, spearheaded by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and America First Legal, filed a lawsuit against the administration for its “Keeping Families Together” program. The program would have granted amnesty to illegal immigrant spouses and stepchildren of American citizens, Blaze News previously reported.

'Once again, we have stopped the Biden-Harris Administration’s radical attempts to destroy America’s borders and undermine the rule of law.'

Additionally, the program would have permitted beneficiaries to parole in place, allowing them to remain in the country while their status is adjusted.

The lawsuit, filed by the 16 state attorneys general, argued that the administration’s claim that it would apply to roughly 550,000 illegal aliens was “likely a significant underestimate,” projecting that it could be closer to 1.3 million.

The complaint contended that the process was unconstitutional because it circumvented Congress and would “irreparably harm” the states’ communities.

U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker, a Trump-appointed judge, sided with the states’ lawsuit, striking down the program.

In his 74-page ruling, Barker stated that the administration’s program “focuses on the wrong thing in identifying ‘significant public benefits’ — the benefits of aliens’ new legal status, rather than their presence in this country.”

“The Rule exceeds statutory authority and is not in accordance with law for this reason as well,” he concluded, adding that the “defendants’ view stretches legal interpretation past its breaking point.”

“The court declares that defendants lack statutory authority … to grant parole ‘in place’ to aliens,” Barker wrote.

America First Legal Executive Director Gene Hamilton stated, “Since day one, the Biden-Harris administration has dedicated itself to the decimation of our immigration system and the erasure of our borders.”

“Time and again, the states stood up. And today, the great state of Texas and the courageous Ken Paxton, alongside a coalition of other brave attorneys general, succeeded in stopping an illegal program that would have provided amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and paved the path for the largest administrative amnesty in American history,” Hamilton added.

Paxton wrote in a post on X, “Once again, we have stopped the Biden-Harris Administration’s radical attempts to destroy America’s borders and undermine the rule of law. This unlawful parole scheme would have rewarded more than 1 million illegal aliens with citizenship and incentivized millions more to break into our country. I look forward to the day when the federal government starts following the law again.”

The administration’s Department of Justice can decide to appeal Barker’s ruling.

Neither the White House nor the Department of Homeland Security responded to CBS News’ requests for comment.

Mayor Adams nixes major perk for some illegal aliens in NYC



New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has announced that a program to provide prepaid debit cards to thousands of illegal aliens will soon come to a close.

At the start of the year, the city began implementing the pilot program, which provided prepaid debit cards to a fraction of the estimated 60,000 migrants living in its shelters.

'A total amount not to exceed $53 [million] … in accordance with the scope of services and fees.'

City officials initially defended the program, claiming it would cut costs in comparison to the boxed-meal service migrants had been receiving and permitted migrants to purchase food that they prefer or that better suited their dietary restrictions. It also allowed them to buy baby supplies as needed.

The amount migrants have received varies, but a family of four with two young children has typically received about $350 per week. Since the program began, about 2,600 migrants living at the Roosevelt Hotel have been given a total of about $3.2 million, a figure that officials believe is about half the cost of the boxed-meal service.

However, critics raised red flags about the program almost from the moment it came to light.

For one thing, it is unclear whether the purchases made on the cards have ever been monitored. While the cards reportedly work only at grocery stores, convenience stores, and bodegas, they may still have been spent on items unrelated to food and other necessities, though recipients were required to sign an affidavit promising to use them only for their intended purpose.

Moreover, such prepaid debit cards have not been offered to the homeless and other poor American citizens living in the city, prompting New York Council member Joseph Borelli to describe the program as "fundamentally unfair." He and other Republicans on the council argued that the debit cards incentivized more illegal aliens to relocate to NYC.

Though it was billed as a cost-saving measure, the program also came as the result of a one-year, "emergency," no-bid contract with New Jersey-based tech startup Mobility Capital Finance. The truncated process meant no competing offers and little time for thorough consideration.

City Comptroller Brad Lander has since revoked the city's ability to enter into such emergency, no-bid contracts for services for migrants.

The overall cost of the program has also been obscured. While some reports indicate that MoCaFi receives only $400,000 for its services, the New York Post claimed back in February that the contract itself showed MoCaFi would receive "a total amount not to exceed $53 [million] ... in accordance with the scope of services and fees" and that the $53 million sum did NOT include the money loaded onto the debit cards.

Despite these concerns, the city council announced in July that it would expand the program. Now, with the contract about to expire at the end of the year, Adams has reversed course and decided not to renew it.

"As we move towards more competitive contracting for asylum seeker programs, we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract for this pilot program once the one-year term concludes," Adams said in a statement, WABC-TV reported Thursday.

Adams did not explain further why the program had been nixed. However, City Hall spokesperson William Fowler insisted that concerns about possible waste, fraud, and abuse never came to pass, Gothamist reported.

"We will continue to implement and learn from innovative pilot programs like the immediate response cards program as we care for hundreds of new arrivals every week," Fowler said.

The announcement regarding the demise of the program comes just days after former President Donald Trump, who campaigned heavily on securing the border and deporting the millions of illegal immigrants who entered the country under the Biden-Harris administration, decisively beat Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

Massachusetts leftists vow to protect illegal aliens from Trump



Leftists in Massachusetts, one of the bluest states in the country, have pledged to protect the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants living there as a second term under President Donald Trump looms on the horizon.

On the campaign trail this year, Trump repeatedly promised to deport en masse many of the millions of illegal aliens who have stolen into the United States during the Biden-Harris administration.

"We're going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country, and we're going to start with Springfield and Aurora," Trump said earlier this year, according to USA Today.

Now that the American people have spoken and voted overwhelmingly to send Trump back into office, Massachusetts liberals claimed they will do all they can so that the commonwealth's 100,000 or so illegal aliens — who have drained untold millions in taxpayer-funded resources for the past four years — can stay where they are.

In response to MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell asking her on election night whether the Massachusetts State Police would "assist in mass deportations," Gov. Maura Healey (D) replied, "No, absolutely not."

Healey also told O'Donnell she would fight against any "pressure" exerted on state officials to cooperate in similar efforts.

"Every tool in the toolbox has got to be used to protect our citizens, our residents, and protect our states and certainly to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law as a basic principle," she added.

'Gov. Healey may feel her far-left Democratic base wants this, but this election showed us the vast majority of voters do not.'

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell (D) slammed what she called Trump's "deportation force" and promised to join forces with leaders across the country to stop it, even though polls consistently show that most Americans support deporting illegal aliens rather than granting them a pathway to citizenship.

"We are prepared for every scenario — obviously when he was president before, he led and started with a ban on certain populations and certain constituents," Campbell said, referring to Trump's previous ban on immigrants from some Muslim-majority countries. "We are well aware of that, and AGs came together then to work in partnership to combat that administration."

The City of Cambridge, a sanctuary city and the home of Harvard University, likewise pledged to "protect" all of its residents "regardless of their immigration status."

"As a Sanctuary City, Cambridge affirms the basic human rights and dignity of every human being and provides education, health and other critical services to all residents of Cambridge, regardless of their immigration status," said a statement from city spokesperson Jeremy Warnick.

Cambridge is also committed to "supporting and promoting the safety, health, and well-being of all of its residents," his statement added, according to the Harvard Crimson.

Paul Craney of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance claimed that these sentiments about illegal aliens are out of touch with most of the Bay State.

"Governor Maura Healey needs to begin listening to what the voters want instead of telling us what she thinks we should hear," Craney said in a statement to Blaze News. "Illegal immigration and inadmissible migrants are having a big negative impact on taxpayer resources, and the election was fueled in part due to this issue. Gov. Healey may feel her far-left Democratic base wants this, but this election showed us the vast majority of voters do not."
