AIRPORT: SENATE REPORT DETAILS HOW BIDEN-HARRIS SCREWED ORDINARY AMERICANS IN FAVOR OF ILLEGALS
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(ED. NOTE: The reporting for this story was done primarily by the Boston Herald)
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE FRIDAY NOV. 28, 2025) — And now for another episode of “We Knew It Was Bad, But We Didn’t Know It Was THAT Bad,” a recurring soap opera of the Clueless Left.
The Biden Administration forced airports to house illegal immigrants after the influx overwhelmed cities and towns not equipped to deal with the myriad of issues attendant on such an invasive wave, not the least of which was public safety.
THE PLANET wondered how it came to be, traipsing by Terminal E at Boston’s Logan Airport in August.
The alarming details are contained in a report just published by the Senate Commerce Committee. “Flight Risk: How Biden-Harris Border Policies Threatened America’s Airport and Aviation Security.” The committee studied the problem for the final two years of Biden-Harris, perhaps the worst presidency in U.S. history, James Buchanan notwithstanding. It learned of the bullying tactics Biden-Harris used on metro airports to handle the disastrous consequences of their open-border policies.
During those two years, countless millions of illegals were allowed into the country, mainly through America’s Southwest border. The number is still unknown, with estimates as high as 22 million — all unvetted and many without ID. This horde included murderers, rapists, drug dealers and users, terrorists, and mentally ill. Of course, there were good, hard-working people simply looking for a better life, but America has a process for such newcomers. With the Biden-Harris callousness for American citizens, who could fault these illegals for skipping the red tape for a dusty beeline across the border?
Massachusetts became the No. 1 destination for the illegals. No mystery there. They came for all the freebies, a free living — food, shelter, EBT cards, food, health insurance, education, and more — paid for by Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski, that hard-working couple who play by the rules only to have the likes of Gov. Healey and, here in Bitchfield, Mayor Lumpy steal them blind.
———- ooo ———-
In Boston, when Biden-Harris ordered Logan Airport to house illegals, at least the Massachusetts Port Authority resisted, citing grave security and operational risks. Boston Logan is New England’s largest commercial airport.
That’s when federal, state, and local officials — all Democrat in this one-party gulag — pressured Biden’s FAA, which in turn ordered Logan to turn into a migrant camp. This included a population of illegals without documentation or even identification. What could go wrong?
Massport again resisted, saying Logan “was not equipped to be an alien intake facility.” It also said to do so “would create an untenable situation for us not to mention a significant diversion of State Police and ARFF/EMS resources.” The protest fell on deaf ears.
“This is an immediate ask [by the White House],” the FAA shot back, “so please prioritize this effort.” In other words, do it … or else.
The report states that Biden-Harris ignored whether airports were owned by the federal government or not. Here we see how out-of-touch the Administration was with ordinary Americans, moderate Dems having been usurped by the party’s radical Left-Loon wing.
———- ooo ———-
The Biden people printed and distributed pamphlets informing illegals of their “rights.” Moreover, it ordered the Federal Transit Administration to “educate” local transit officials how to use federal grants to transport the migrants. They and Maura Healey basically put up a neon sign saying “Everything free in Massachusetts.”
Following the issuance of the report, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blasted the Biden Administration’s “zero disregard for the safety of American citizens. While our military veterans were sleeping on the streets, Biden and Buttigieg cared more about housing illegals immigrants in our airports FOR FREE. … UNBELIEVABLE. Thanks God for @POTUS who is ending all this nonsense and prioritizing the American people. And thanks to @SenTedCruz’s leadership, the public now knows that Mayor Pete [Buttigieg] and Joe Biden were using the DOT to advance their open border agenda.”
The Boston Herald: “The Committee wrapped up its report by concluding that the Biden-Harris Administration ‘caused mass chaos and insecure conditions at the country’s busiest airports’ by promoting and allowing illegal immigrants to encamp at them.’”
Have a great weekend, everybody.

Is Biden still president? This seems to be some kind of diversion post. Look over there not over here type thingy.
Oh please…don’t pretend you don’t know the disastrous policies of the Biden administration. Yes, we are still paying the price for those reckless decisions and we will do so for years to come. It’s not like flipping off a switch when a new president is sworn in and has to try to undo all of the damage.
I am paying a real price for trumps foolish tariffs. The country as a whole is paying a huge price for all the incredibly low bar mental midgets that trump installed in his cabinet. We are all paying the price for trumps utter failure of foreign policy, if we can even call it a policy.
Do you really believe, as your messiah tells you, that you are paying less for food and electricity and clothing? Do you Pat?
If mr trump ever does leave office, and there is no evidence that he ever will, how will you cope with that? Will the maga folk form a new religion and wait for his him to rise from the ashes as his own bible dictates? And what will become of all the trump merch you have accumulated and are storing in your shed, garage and attic? Will you pass it down to your great grandchildren so that they can also worship at false idols?
Then stop buying expensive shit you don’t need Tariffs are on consumer crap that is utterly unneeded.
Food and gas are coming back down to Earth.
Can you spell….WOEFULLY MISINFORMED? Stop relying only on the “news” that is directed to your mailbox, as it is intended to keep you in your well behaved maga-box, ignorant and controlled.
There are other views out there and you might do well to diversify your sources and only then decide what is and isn’t going on around you.
Trump’s tariffs may help reduce your tax bill…..
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/tariff-revenue-hits-record-31-billion-october-as/
Before there was the 16th Amendment there was no Income Tax and our Government was funded by the Tariffs of Imported Goods.
The government spending, prior to the 16th Amendment, didn’t have Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the gargantuan welfare system, the Department of Education, the EPA, FEMA, HHS, DHS, USDA farm subsidies – the list goes on. I would love to return to a government funded by tariffs, but only if we can also return to pre-16th Amendment spending!
Biden never was President. He was installed like a toilet ,and the “Autopen” was in charge.
You seem to get off behaving like a fourth grader. Name calling is a trait people use when they are not sure their talking points have merit.
(and you seem to do that a lot)
You’re defending the indefensible.
Carry on.
He and fritz are not normal human beings…nor is Joe Pesci. The three have a masculine problem.
Do You remember Biden was already declared by a court of law to be too senile/demented to be brought up on criminal charges?
This was by a liberal court, while Joe was still the “Autopen” 2021-2025.
Do I remember that? No — probably because it never actually happened outside the Facebook–fever-dream universe where memes get mistaken for court rulings.
There is no court anywhere in the United States that declared Joe Biden “too senile or demented” to face charges. Not a liberal court, not a conservative court, not the imaginary Autopen Tribunal you apparently think operates out of a Waffle House booth.
What did happen was a Special Counsel report saying Biden came across as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” That is not a judicial finding of incompetence. It’s not even a medical diagnosis. It’s a description — the same way I can describe your comment section research as “chronically undercooked.”
And if that standard concerns you, then let’s talk about Trump — who is also an elderly man with a memory that leaks like a Dollar Store colander.
This is the same guy who:
So if “poor memory” is now your test for fitness, both of your political grandpas are in trouble.
You don’t get to claim Biden is mentally gone while Trump is out here calling Hungary “a neighbor of Russia” like geography is optional.
Either they’re both too old and slipping — or you’re just selectively outraged.
Pick one.
I’ll stand corrected. He was determined to be too senile to understand questioning.
“How can a man deemed too senile to stand trial be deemed fit to run this country?President Biden broke the law “willfully,” presenting “serious risks to national security” — but he’s too senile to put on the stand: That’s the bottom line of special counsel Robert Hur’s report on the prez’s mishandling of classified documents.”
“From the report:
“He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 — when did I stop being Vice President?’), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?’).”
And: “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.” –
https://nypost.com/2024/02/08/news/special-prosecutors-report-proves-joe-biden-is-unfit-to-remain-president/
And I’ll add that Biden mistook his Sister for his wife while onstage at a Super Tuesday event.
“Addressing the cheering crowd, Biden said, “By the way, this is my little sister, Valerie,” before reaching to the right and grabbing his wife’s hand.” –
https://www.the-sun.com/news/487566/joe-biden-mistakes-wife-for-sister/
Mad Trapper,
I always enjoy your lack of research and comprehension.
If you’re going to copy-paste New York Post headlines like they’re gospel, at least pretend to understand the difference between legal strategy, media framing, and actual cognitive incapacity.
Hur’s report didn’t say Biden is “too senile to stand trial.”
It said a jury might perceive him sympathetically because of age — which is lawyer-speak for “we don’t think we can win this case,” not “the President is medically incapacitated.”
If you’re going to quote the report, quote all of it — like the part where Hur explicitly said Biden cooperated, turned things over voluntarily, and did not obstruct. You left that out. I’m sure it was just an accident.
Like how you also didn’t mention the other guy who hoarded hundreds of classified documents in a ballroom, bathroom, garage, and shower, then lied to the FBI about it.
And here’s the part you folks always skip:
The problem with you MAGA types is you cannot make unbiased or fair judgments. You’d rather go down with the ship and drown than admit your guy has just as many faults as any other president. CLEARLY, both Joe Biden and Donald Trump suffer from the same thing — age.
As for the “sister/wife” clip — congratulations on discovering that humans occasionally misspeak on camera.
If every politician who mixed up a word were declared mentally unfit, Congress would be a vacant lot.
You’re not making a medical argument.
You’re recycling tabloid-bait hoping nobody notices the holes big enough to drive a motorcade through.
Next time, bring facts — not fear-mongering, not half-quotes, and definitely not links from newspapers that think astrology counts as reporting.
The TDS is strong in this ^^^^ one!
Facts butt hurt You.
Sorry.
VV are you honestly comparing President Trump’s mental acuity to Autopen’s? And you use DJT not knowing where Hungary is as your example?
I’ll give you a real example of Autopen’s mental acuity.
In this video, Autopen just walks out on a Medal of Honor recipient during the ceremony.
DC_Draino on X: “Remember when Biden walked out on a Medal of Honor ceremony? This is the highest honor for a soldier and he left him, just like he left our troops to be killed in Afghanistan. No wonder he allowed violent Afghan terrorists into our country. Time to send them all home. https://t.co/7Ab2pL67Rk” / X
We understand VV. You still believe an adult man who wears women’s clothes and calls himself a “woman,” is actually a woman.
Val, do you consider CC Prez Wimpy White, to be of Wookie decent? He frequently dresses up as Chewbacca and identifies himself as a “Wookie from the Planet Kashyyk?”
If not, why not?
Bottom line is that as we slide perilously into the abyss, it is the trump clown car that is running (ruining) the country. But every time he does something even stupider than the day before, his disciples, totally unable to justify his actions, knee jerk to blaming past presidents or whomever else is handy at the moment.
If biden or hillary or obama did just a fraction of the insane things trump has done you all would have pulled every hair on your head out and you know this to be true.
By the way, how many of you are in favor of sending ground troops into the jungles of Venezuela?
Markus,
Every time you try to make a point, you end up proving a completely different one — and not the one you think.
Let’s walk through this slow, so your argument stops tripping over its own shoelaces.
1. Yes, Markus — I’m comparing Trump and Biden’s mental acuity.
Because they’re both elderly men showing age-related decline.
This isn’t calculus.
It’s observable reality.
Trump forgot what country he was talking about, repeatedly confused world leaders, claimed he ran against Obama in 2020, and mixed up Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi while insisting he “watched it happen.”
Biden mixes up dates.
Trump mixes up decades, wars, and entire administrations.
If you don’t like the comparison, take it up with the facts — not me.
2. The Medal of Honor clip.
You’re citing DC_Draino. Again.
Markus, using a misinformation influencer as your “proof” is like citing horoscopes to argue astrophysics.
The context (which you never include):
Biden was signaled to move so the next stage of the ceremony could proceed.
Was it awkward?
Sure.
Was it the collapse you’re desperate to believe?
Not even close.
3. And right on cue — you go back to gender.
This is your tell.
Whenever you run out of political arguments, you lunge straight into transphobia like it’s a security blanket.
You could be discussing tax policy, foreign aid, or the price of eggs — and somehow you always end up ranting about transgender people.
That’s not political commentary.
That’s obsession.
A very transparent one.
4. The Wookie meltdown.
Markus, the moment you start comparing real humans to fictional alien species, the conversation is over.
Not because you “won,”
but because you announced — loudly — that you have no argument left at all.
No, I don’t diagnose people based on your personal Star Wars fantasies.
And you should probably stop workshopping these analogies; none of them land.
5. What’s actually happening here.
You tried to argue about mental fitness.
You had nothing.
So you panicked and dragged the conversation into gender, aliens, and conspiracy influencers.
That isn’t debate.
It’s derailment.
If you want to talk politics, bring facts.
If you want to talk Wookies, that’s fine, Pete needs friends — just don’t pretend it’s a point.
That’s ^^^^^ as bad a reading one of Melle’s rambling rants.
“Rage.” – Homer
You suffer the body. What I think is that both you and MadTrapper need to get laid.
You all agree that Bitchfield is a wreck. You could argue why but you don’t. Instead you proddle each other over Biden and Trump. There is no way you come together on this screen to unleash over that stuff.
You’re frustrated. You guys need to fornicate each other. Please, please please just get it on.
Glass Planet,
You strutted in here like you were about to deliver some sage, unifying wisdom… and instead dropped a comment that reads like it was written halfway through a NyQuil overdose.
You didn’t offer insight.
You didn’t offer solutions.
You didn’t even pick a lane.
You just climbed on a rickety soapbox, proclaimed yourself the hall monitor of the comment section, and wrapped it all up with a sentence so weird it deserves its own restraining order.
“You guys need to fornicate each other.”
My guy… what in the Dollar Tree Dr. Phil was that supposed to accomplish?
If your goal was to sound mature, you achieved the opposite.
If your goal was to sound neutral, you landed at unhinged.
And if your goal was to sound like you understood the conversation, you missed it by several city blocks.
You want to lecture people about Pittsfield being a wreck? Great.
Say something useful.
Name the problem.
Name the cause.
Pick a stance.
Offer a solution.
Otherwise you’re not “calling for unity.”
You’re just foghorning nonsense from the cheap seats.
Next time, try contributing an actual thought instead of whatever that was.
It could help though.
In my defense I thought we were grownups.
Happily, Obama and Jill, running cabinet meetings, are no longer presidential. Biden was never President.
Immigrants are scared in Trump’s MAGA nation. They are sent to concentration camps. Trump’s ICE Age is similar to Hitler’s Gestapo. Cities are protesting, courts are blocking, and Human Rights are being stripped away.
My point here is that it is NOT a black and white issue. Trump is using Hitler’s play-book. 3 more years of Nazi Germany in The White House, and then we will get our country back from the fascists.
Maura Healey for U.S. President in 2028! Thank you to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Barack Obama.
JON MELLE
The CCP, George Soros, and the Illegal Aliens, who live in the housing in place of US Veterans that Maura Healey sent packing to the street’s, thank you Zohran Mammelle.
You got your bag from the government why do you complain so much?
“Immigrants are scared in Trump’s MAGA nation.” – JM
CRIMINAL ALIENS JON. Legals have nothing to fear.
“They are sent to concentration camps. Trump’s ICE Age is similar to Hitler’s Gestapo” -JM
They are not here legally and and being deported Jon. The worst of the worst first.
How about the guy Biden imported/unvetted after he and Gen Millie ran away from Afghanistan 1 NG dead one critical.
And the seditious 6 in Congress? Should Mark Kelly be recalled to service for sedition, and face military tribunal? court martial? Leavenworth .
“Cities are protesting, courts are blocking, and Human Rights are being stripped away.” -JM
The Democrat run cities are burning looting festering cesspools of crime. Cite a right being abused.
“My point here is that it is NOT a black and white issue. Trump is using Hitler’s play-book. 3 more years of Nazi Germany in The White House, and then we will get our country back from the fascists.” -JM
We may never get over 4 years of Biden/Autopen.
“Maura Healey for U.S. President in 2028! Thank you to Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Barack Obama.” -JM
D-Rat Healey, Lieawatha Warren et. al. ….. gave away US Citizen benefits to CRIMINAL ALIENS. Now citizens are going without heating assistance.
Sure Jon, America/Americans LAST, vote D-RAT
I mentioned this a few years ago when I was flying and had a layover at a major Texas airport. I was stunned to see the massive amounts of military aged men waiting in lines to fly to an east coast city from there.
They certainly weren’t the “families seeking a better life,” that the Autopen Administration and MSM tried to make us believe.
From the NY Post:
Biden administration officials waved off those concerns. At its peak, Logan held up to 352 migrants overnight in Terminal E, causing Massport to shell out $779,000 in “supplemental public safety, transportation, and janitorial services expenses.”
Biden admin forced airports to host migrants and glossed over safety risks, Senate report charges | New York Post
Interesting. Were any of those military men named trump? NO? Did any of them get deferments for frivolous reasons because they thought only fools joined the military and went out to defend their country? Do you know any that did?
Hint…donald trump did
Hint: Traitor Joseph Stolen had more deferments than POTUS Trump
True. So did Bumbles Biden. He got a Doctors note from Daddy.
Biden isnt the president anymore.
He never was.
Carry on Trump. Do the things you promised.
It is unbelievable how the illegals were prioritized over American citizens and continue to be prioritized in sanctuary city Pittsfield. Democrats will not even admit the danger of allowing all of these unvetted people to enter our country. They know the danger exists, but they don’t care. With so many unvetted people entering the country, the Democrats are trying to undermine any attempts to bring law and order to our cities. They are creating the perfect conditions for disastrous events to happen. National guards can pick up on any attempts for terrorist attacks as well as keeping everyday crime under control. We need these national guards in our cities for so many reasons at this dangerous time for our country.
Let’s not forget that Mayor Tyer & councilman John Krol pushed for / worked with Springfield based relocation “charities” to bring unvetted migrants to Pittsfield.
The next time you visit the hospital for an emergency, look around you and see how many staff look like they may possibly have come from a foreign country. Would you be happy that they are there or would you rather they all just leave? Because something tells me there may not be enough all white Americans who want to work in a hospital environment to take care of people. Most Americans want to be taken care of themselves, not to be taking care of others. Many of them are spoiled that way, not wanting to do hard tedious unrewarding jobs like nursing and cleaning and pampering. And less and less white folk want to go through the tedious years of learning doctor skills. Look around next time.
What do you think Pat? Send the foreigners away like trump wants to do or let them help you when no one else will?
If Democrats would stop pushing abortion on everybody we wouldn’t have to bring so many people in from foreign countries due to a low birth rate. Democrats want abortion on demand and our country is paying the price for that policy. Also get all of the drugs out of our country (Trump is trying to do that) because drugs kill motivation and make people lazy.
That is about as corkscrew a response as I have ever seen Pat. Feel like I am looking into a kaleidoscope trying to figure out what your response has to do with what I said.
Less abortions equals more white people working in the medical profession? What????
Do you have a single individual thought at any time?
You’re trying to tie abortion, immigration, birth rates, drugs, and Trump into one argument, and none of it connects.
1. “Democrats push abortion on everyone.”
False. They support choice. Nobody’s forcing abortions — that’s just your favorite fantasy.
2. “Low birth rate is because of abortion.”
Also false. Birth rates drop because of the cost of living, childcare, healthcare, housing — not because someone in another state made a medical decision you don’t like.
3. “We have to bring in immigrants because Democrats won’t have babies.”
No. Immigration fills labor shortages.
If you want more Americans having kids, support policies that make raising a family affordable — not control over women’s bodies.
4. “Drugs make people lazy and Trump is fixing it.”
Overdose deaths skyrocketed during Trump’s presidency.
Fentanyl mostly enters through ports and U.S. citizens, not migrants.
Your take isn’t policy — it’s just vibes glued together with Fox News glue sticks.
Doubt any of those doctors are illegal aliens.
I’d like to keep the Indian, Pakistani and African doctors and deport the crummy white onesworking all over the county.
Hallelujah!!
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/breaking-fired-up-trump-vows-permanent-pause-migration/
No vetting under Biden……
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/never-forget-there-was-no-vetting-biden-admin/
Let’s not forget Migrant’s, er Martha’s Vineyard.
The Sotero castle/mansion didn’t want a single one, so Heil D-Healey promptly got the National Guard to evict them ALL within 48hrs. She didn’t take any in either, or her neighborhood.
But she hid them ALL OVER the rest of mASSachusetts. Put up in motels/hotels and given catered meals, medical, and education for their spoor.
Now poor AMERICAN Citizens have no LIHEAP money for fuel assistance.
Thanks D-Healey!!!!
What a Heal. Trish said, we’ll take ‘em.
Cut off all able bodied and ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OFF ALL Public Assistance and Keep on Deporting them ….no questions asked ….
Makes more for all legal qualified Americans in the end.
On images.google.com I searched “2 petes pittsfield politics”, and I saw that Voltron’s Facebook online picture of all of the city jobs that are open as of 11/26/2025.
I was surprised by all of the job openings, but I wouldn’t want to be called a BITCH by the likes of Peter Marchetti. So now it all makes sense.
I Googled images of you and this is what came up.
You got your tax free bag are you now trying to double dip like your mayor cousin?
Dan, almost every claim in your piece is incorrect.
Biden did not order Logan Airport to house migrants. Massachusetts used a temporary hallway space during a shelter overflow caused by state law, not a federal directive.
The “22 million unvetted migrants” number is invented. Migrants processed at the border undergo biometrics, background checks, and ID verification. They are not “unvetted.”
Massachusetts is not the top destination for migrants, and undocumented adults do not qualify for federal benefits like EBT or Medicaid.
And for the record: there is no “Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.” That person doesn’t exist.
Your article isn’t exposing a scandal — it’s repeating misinformation.
VAL
The Feds, knowing of the MA state law, then ordered in the form of an ask they knew the libs in state government would not refuse. I doubt even Healey would have attempted such a thing on her own. The “22 million” is a high estimate of the total population of illegals. That actual number is not known. This state certainly IS a top destination; I grant the use of the indefinite article. Technically they do not qualify for EBT or Medicaid. In actuality, they “qualify” by using false name, fake ID. As for Sean Duffy, this is from the Department of Transportation’s official site:
——————–
Sean Duffy, U.S. Secretary of Transportation
Get to Know DOT Secretary Duffy
Sean Duffy served as Congressman from Wisconsin’s 7th District in the US Congress for ten years, serving on the House Financial Services Committee and actively leading on local transportation issues via his co-chairmanship of the Great Lakes Task Force.
Prior to serving in Congress, Duffy was the District Attorney of Ashland County, Wisconsin, for ten years. There he brought over a hundred cases to trial with an over 90% trial success rate. After leaving Congress, Duffy hosted the Fox Business show, “The Bottom Line with Dagen and Duffy.”
Sean was born and raised in Hayward, Wisconsin. As the tenth of eleven siblings in a large Irish Catholic family, Sean learned the enduring value of cooperation and compromise. Duffy also comes from a long line of lumberjacks, who helped build his beloved state of Wisconsin, and was a world-champion lumberjack athlete. He holds a marketing degree from St. Mary’s University, and a J.D. degree from William Mitchell College of Law.
When Sean was in his twenties, he got his start in television on the MTV reality TV show, “The Real World”. He also starred on “Road Rules All Stars,” where he met his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy.
Rachel and Sean are America’s first and longest-married reality TV couple. They have been married for 25 years and have nine children together.

You comment isn’t correcting a column — it’s repeating wishful thinking.
Maybe, for VV, the obvious is still invisible..
Dan,
You’re not clarifying your column — you’re reverse-engineering justifications after the fact. Let’s go piece by piece.
1. “The Feds ordered it — in the form of an ask.”
That’s not a thing.
A request is not an order, and you know it.
The Cruz-Hur report said the FAA and federal officials pressured and coordinated with airports during a shelter overflow.
It never said the White House ordered Massachusetts to turn Logan into housing.
And your logic collapses on itself:
“Healey wouldn’t have done it on her own”
but
“the Feds asked, knowing she wouldn’t refuse.”
So she wouldn’t have done it… except she did… because someone asked?
That’s not analysis. That’s astrology.
2. “22 million illegals.”
Your column framed it as migrants Biden “allowed into the country.”
Now you admit it’s a high-end guess of the entire undocumented population accumulated over decades.
You went from:
“Biden let in 22 million”
to
“well, nobody actually knows.”
That’s a walk-back, Dan. A large one.
3. “Massachusetts is a top destination.”
For asylum seekers? No.
For migrant families? No.
For overall migration flows? Also no.
But you toss out “I grant the use of the indefinite article” like you’re adjusting punctuation, not accuracy.
You said “top destination.”
It isn’t.
Shifting to “a top destination in my opinion” doesn’t save the claim.
4. “Technically they don’t qualify for EBT or Medicaid, but they get it anyway using fake IDs.”
You’re doing it again:
Confronted with a false claim, you swap it out for a new claim with zero evidence.
Undocumented immigrants cannot access SNAP or Medicaid.
Fraud cases exist, as they do in every system, but you’re asserting systemic, mass, coordinated benefit fraud without data, sourcing, or a single case number.
That’s not journalism.
That’s vibes with a thesaurus.
5. Sean Duffy — and your timeline problem.
Yes, Sean Duffy is Transportation Secretary now, in 2025.
His bio is current; no one disputes that.
But your column is about the Logan migrant overflow in 2023–2024, when Pete Buttigieg was Secretary of Transportation.
You’re retrofitting today’s cabinet into yesterday’s events and calling it “context.”
If I wrote about Hurricane Katrina and credited the FEMA director from 2025, you’d call it sloppy. And you’d be right.
6. Your closer: “You’re repeating wishful thinking.”
No, Dan — I pointed out the factual and chronological gaps in your piece.
You responded by:
downgrading “orders” to “asks but basically orders”
walking back a 22-million claim
redefining “top destination” to “well, I feel it is”
replacing ineligibility for benefits with a blanket fraud accusation
and mixing 2025 cabinet officials into 2023 events
That’s not correction.
That’s grout work on a cracked narrative.
If you want to argue policy, great.
But let’s at least argue it with the right facts, the right year, and the right cabinet.
VAL
When I worked in Pennsylvania for a metro daily, the Poconos were well known for the presence of the Mob. I even met some of them as part of my work. When they wanted something done by a government or public safety official, they never “ordered”. They always “requested” … and politely.
Thanks for the comment.
Mele post. Tighten it up.
You make Baghdad Bob sound credible.
Nope.
The border and immigration enforcement under Biden, was a lot like a drive of thirsty cattle and they smelled water at the US border. Stampede!!!
He’s never WRONG !!!!!!!!

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,
Please Google search: hegseth kill all boat orders
I am refraining from writing my own view(s) on this controversy, but government “use(s) of force” are supposed to be made public, which is NOT the case here.
Just like Pittsfield’s public school district’s 6-figure legal report that is hidden from the public; just like the Epstein Files that are currently behind legal darkness; the Hegseth KILL ALL boat orders are not public.
The first and last casualty of any war/conflict is always the TRUTH.
Do you believe that all of these controversies should be made public?
Best wishes,

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,
The White House’s MEDIA BIAS web-page:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/?cst
The Boston Globe is the first news media name listed there.

My awesome Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander is one of the six Members of U.S. Congress who appeared in a video saying that federal government military and intelligence personnel can refuse illegal orders. I recently told her, in-person, that I am proud of her, that she is brave, and that she will always have my vote.
I am a permanent and total 100 percent service-connected disabled Veteran. I told my Congresswoman that a would-be Soldier is put in between a rock and hard place when they are given illegal orders. If they obey the illegal order(s), and then something bad happens, they face a court martial and are sent away to a military prison. If they refuse, then they are at risk of punishment if they lose their appeal to the Command.
It is NOT an easy decision to obey or disobey illegal orders. There is NO legal defense for “I was following orders” in the U.S.A. The U.S. President has great responsibilities as the U.S.A.’s Commander in Chief. I acknowledge that Donald Trump himself has never gave an illegal order. I also know that he oversees many military and intelligence Commanders that give orders to their subordinates.
I disagree with Trump that it is a black and white issue. The “seditious stamp” on his video is unfair. Trump should have stated his case without retaliation. My Congresswoman and the 5 others are NOT seditious, but rather, they are honorable Veterans who exercised their FREE SPEECH.
Best wishes,

Zohran Mammelle, you are not only a Marxist, but also an a$$clown.
What the Seditious 6 did was against the law and not free speech.
I’ll tell you what Zohran Mammelle, next time your at a crowded venue, start screaming “he’s got a gun” or “fire,” and cause mass chaos and claim it’s your “free speech” and find out how that turns out for you. At least you’ve done time before, so the immediate shock of jail won’t be there for you.
BTW anytime a person has to put a disclaimer in front of anything, it usually means it’s false or there’s a catch, i.e.-hor$e$hit
For example, I’ve talked to many veterans like yourself Zohran. Not one of them, including myself, has ever heard of a “100% service connected disability,” and these include vets who lost limbs in war.
What exactly is your “disability” that you always preface with your “honorable discharge?”
And how does it prevent you from holding any type of steady employment throughout your adult life?

Hello blogger Dan Valenti,
Why is the government using secrecy instead of the federal law(s) on matters such as the Epstein Files and Hegseth’s alleged “KILL ALL” boat orders?
Please note that Hegseth’s alleged “KILL ALL” boat orders has not been made public. Moreover, it is controversial and may lead to Hegseth being charged with federal crimes.
If one wants to really get into “against the law” and “free speech”, then what the HELL is going on in The White House and The Pentagon in 2025?
My own Veterans case complies with all federal law(s). One may write their criticisms of me about it, but I am a true Veteran who supports all Veterans and good people alike who need my support.
I proudly support my Veteran Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander. I believe that Trump is wrong to use the “seditious six stamp” against her and the other 5 who said it is O.K. to disobey illegal orders.
I acknowledged that Trump himself never gave an illegal order. I believe that Trump should have made his case without retaliation. My Veteran Congresswoman and the 5 others are all Veterans who exercised their FREE SPEECH.

Perhaps you should review the actual veterans site? It seems to differ greatly from what your friends are telling you
https://www.va.gov/disability/compensation-rates/veteran-rates/
No need to. I don’t put a disclaimer in front of my Honorable Discharge.
Youve never been in the military, so sit this one out and go play in some waste water. Grab a few Bud Lights and relive old times.
I believe this to be true, as in being true is correct only in the confines of what follows.
MadTrapper says he has a Ph.D in hard-core science. He says things to confirm this. But he sounds like a mountain man madtrapper, not like a scientist. Optimus Prime boasts no academic credentials, but very much sounds like he has a Ph.D in science. Therefore, I tell you this: Mad Trapper and Optimus Prime share a common author.
Very interesting.
