It's the Murrieta model, in the Bay State.
At the Boston Globe, "Officials in Bourne decry plan to bring migrant children."
Plus, "Voters split on sheltering migrant children in Mass. Globe poll finds divisions over plan by Patrick, other immigration issues":
Massachusetts voters are split on Governor Deval Patrick’s plan to provide temporary shelter for up to 1,000 unaccompanied immigrant children on a state air base or military training installation, according to a new Boston Globe poll.Also at the Lowell Sun, "Debate over immigrant children coming to Massachusetts hits the House floor."
Given the details of Patrick’s proposal, including the fact that the facilities would be staffed and paid for by the federal government and open for up to four months, 50 percent of those polled expressed support, with 43 percent opposed. That’s within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
But on national immigration initiatives, respondents were more skeptical. Asked more broadly whether the migrant children should be allowed to stay in the United States after judicial hearings, only 39 percent answered yes, compared with 43 percent who said the children should be deported.
