Massachusets Democrat Gov. Maura Healey pretends to care about how the invasion at the Southern border is affecting states like hers but shrugs off questions about how to prevent illegal border crossers from raping, brutalizing, and killing Americans.
Cory Alvarez, a 26-year-old Haitian national who entered the U.S. illegally, was arrested this month after it was alleged he assaulted and raped a disabled teen at Rockland, Massachusetts migrant shelter.
Alvarez didn’t simply cross into the U.S. on his own accord. He took advantage of a taxpayer-funded flight from Haiti to New York City “as part of the Biden Administration’s illegal categorical parole program known as CHNV that ‘allows up to 30,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to fly into the U.S.’ each month,” House Republicans noted in a recent letter probing the illegal’s presence in the U.S.
Healey initially claimed Alvarez’s alleged actions were “horrible” and said her “thoughts are with the victim.” When asked this week by Boston 25 if she “can prevent this type of incident from happening again,” Healey’s reply drastically differed.
She did not call for pressure on the Biden administration to close the border or deport the millions of illegals who have entered the U.S. under his watch. Instead, Healey implied that rapes and other preventable violent crimes perpetrated by foreign criminals will simply happen “from time to time.”
“We have security and systems in place, we have vetting in place. It is unfortunate that, you know, from time to time, things will happen,” Healey said.
Healey is not immune to the consequences of an unchecked border invasion. Last year in August, she declared a state of emergency “due to rapidly rising numbers of migrant families arriving in Massachusetts.” Since then, she’s routinely invoked the influx of illegal border crossers in her state as a political talking point.
In her contentious interview this week, she even dared to claim that Alvarez coming to America under the federal government’s wing “speaks somewhat to the issue that states are having to deal with now in terms of the mass numbers coming across the borders.”
Yet, she repeatedly absolves Democrats and their open border policies of any blame for the crisis. Healey instead has chosen to point the finger at Former President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans for refusing to pass Democrats’ border wishlist earlier this year.
“Donald Trump said no deal, no deal before the election, and they all pulled back, the Republicans pulled back,” Healey said during a sit-down interview with WBZ-TV this week. “That’s playing politics, and we and other states continue to pay the price.”
There is a noticeable pattern of preventable crimes committed by foreigners who have crossed the open border since Biden took office in January 2021. That’s because, under Biden’s rollback of border security, vetting, and punishment, criminals like the Massachusetts rapist, Laken Riley’s murderer, and Alex Wise Jr.’s killer are allowed to enter the U.S. with little to no scrutiny and little to no binding threat of deportation.
For Healey to pretend that some crimes committed by illegal border crossers can’t be fully thwarted is rooted in a twisted, deliberate lie designed to disguise her party’s incentivization of the invasion at our Southern border.
