"No debate, noise on immigration; Senate quietly OK’s measure, avoiding repeat of last year" by Noah Bierman, Globe Staff / June 5, 2011
Last year, debate in the Massachusetts Senate over immigration enforcement was so contentious it drove a wedge into the governor’s race and sparked a 17-day vigil by student activists who camped out on the State House steps.
So the $anctuary $tate has betrayed you for federal dollars, 'eh?
This year, the approach was far more stealthy. Senators approved an enforcement measure on a voice vote late last month, without any debate, at 11:18 p.m., gaveling it through along with a slew of last-minute amendments to the state budget....
Which NO ONE REALLY BOTHERED to READ!
That's why the Globe is reporting on this a MONTH LATER!!
So WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH Mass. taxpayers got took?
