Remember the story of President Elect Obama's aunt, living in Boston public housing and working a Boston city job--despite being in the US illegally? Leaving the taxpayers of Massachusetts to pay the bills her affluent family members would not?
Turns out that Massachusetts policy is to give public housing to criminal immigrants, even as 20,000 citizens and legal residents were on a waiting list for any available units. It's all part of the "Welcoming Massachusetts" movement that declares the "civil and human right" of illegal immigrants to live in my state unbothered by law enforcement.
Well, today we discover that this "Welcome Illegals" policy extends to the local office of the Department of Homeland Security.
A U.S. border official whose job it is to keep illegal aliens out of New England was busted yesterday for knowingly employing three Brazilian housekeepers who snuck into the United States unlawfully, federal prosecutors charged.
Lorraine Henderson, who supervised 220 employees as the Customs and Border Protection agency’s Boston area port director since 2003, faces up to 10 years and a $250,000 fine if convicted of harboring an illegal alien.
She was taped by the feds in September warning her wired cleaning woman to be “careful” not to get detected by immigration officials when trying to obtain documents for her newborn, according to an affidavit.
As my fellow Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr put it this morning, "I guess you can say the illegal was only wearing the wires Americans wouldn’t wear."
