A Massachusetts town spends its tax dollars telling residents how to dodge La Migra

Our former home of Lincoln, Maskachusetts:

(I tried to Zoom in for the meeting, but the link resulted only in an “Invalid meeting ID. (3,000)” error message.)

The town spent money producing its own guide to dodging La Migra (ICE). Excerpts:

A former “illegal alien” is no longer “undocumented” but rather “with uncertain immigration status”:

What if the worst happens and a “Massachusetts man” who arrived in the U.S. a few days earlier is being hauled away?

Note that, due to the two-acre zoning minimum, the typical neighborhood in Lincoln, MA is home only to those undocumented migrants who have at least $1 million to spend on a vacant lot. The town does, however, have a small public housing development in which those who don’t work, regardless of immigration status, can live at taxpayer expenses.

Here’s a friend’s photo from near the Town Hall:

In addition to the advertisement for the event, the photo includes a righteous hater of inequality who has bought him/her/zir/theirself an expensive Audi. He/she/ze/they could have made due with a Camry and donated the extra $40,000 to the worthy poor, but apparently that wasn’t an option. The photographer’s comment:

paint is coming off the house, ugly pipes on the ground and ugly wiring

(As a Floridian I’ve become allergic to the sight of utility poles and exposed wires and boxes like the ones in the photo.)

  1. ICE is adapting with camouflage “Chinga La Migra” stickers. Here they are loading a person with uncertain immigration status into one:

    “Chinga La Migra” literally means “Screw the Migration” in Spanish, but “migra” has taken on the meaning of “immigration authorities”. I guess ICE is taking back the power (of literal translations). ✊
