ans who booked hotel rooms months in advance to watch the annual December
college football game between Army and Navy are scrambling to find
somewhere to stay in Massachusetts after their hotel reservations were
canceled so the state could house illegal immigrants, according to a news
report.
Amid the ongoing surge of migrants at the country’s open southern border,
more and more people who are in the country on questionable asylum claims
have been shipped to “sanctuary” cities and states -- such as New York and
Massachusetts.
They’ve been housed in hotels across the state at the direction of
Democratic Gov. Maura Healey, who is using the state's "right to shelter"
law.
The state has contracted with hotel chains to house people after Healey
declared a state of emergency.
According to a report from The Boston Herald, room for illegal immigrants
is coming at the expense of service academy graduates, their families and
fans who planned ahead to watch the annual rivalry game between the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point, New York, and the U.S. Naval Academy of
Annapolis, Maryland.
The game will take place on Dec. 9 in Foxborough, Massachusetts, at
Gillette Stadium -- the home of the New England Patriots.
How many fans will be in attendance remains a question two months before
the game.
Writing for the Herald, opinion columnist Joe Battenfeld reported he had
spoken to a travel agent who had confirmed 70 hotel rooms that were booked
by military families were “taken back” from those who reserved them in
order to make way for migrants.
Travel agent Mark Mansbach said he is working with his clients to find
them places to stay, but that some do not feel safe.
“I have enough rooms to cover some of the people. Some people are looking
around, but pricing is very high,” Mansbach said.
He added, “For many, the issue is safety … they are questioning the safety
of remaining hotels located near those that are now filled with migrants.
Lots of questions by my clients and most hotels are scrambling to come up
with safety protocols.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ripped the way the military families are being
treated in a Wednesday post on social media.
“Our veterans and service academy graduates cannot find anywhere to stay
for the Army-Navy Game because hotels are housing illegal aliens on the
taxpayers’ dime,” DeSantis said.
He added, “What a farce. When I am president, the days of putting illegal
aliens over Americans will be over.”

Giri Hotel Management, which operates numerous affected hotels in the
Boston area, wrote off the situation as a non-controversy in comments to
the Herald.
“We are delighted to confirm that we are indeed taking refugees at our
hotels,” said company vice president of marketing Claire Mulholland.
Mulholland added:
“By providing shelter to refugees, we aim to be part of a global community
that stands together in support of those in need ... We look forward to
working with local authorities and organizations to ensure a smooth
transition for all those who will call our hotels home during their time
with us.”
Giri Hotel Management said it would be able to “seamlessly” relocate
paying guests to other rooms that will now be occupied by illegal border
crossers.
