If Gov. Maura Healey had been severe about serving to Joe Biden within the New Hampshire Jan. 23 presidential major, she would enlist the assist of Massachusetts’ rising unlawful immigration neighborhood.
Getting the 1000’s of immigrants to marketing campaign for Biden wouldn’t solely assist Biden win the first—one thing he has did not do– however give the immigrants some unofficial work expertise pending approval of their official work permits.
They too will quickly be granted the fitting to vote in state and federal elections after they get their drivers’ licenses, after all.
So, they may get the hold of voting in a democracy earlier than it’s shut down, as it’s within the international locations they got here from.
The marketing campaign would get them out of the lodge and motel rooms. And they may additionally study English whereas on the job, together with the NH motto, “Live Free or Die,” quickly to be adopted by Massachusetts.
The concept emerged in my mind following a Healey-led assembly final week aimed toward recruiting volunteers to marketing campaign for Biden within the Granite State by encouraging voters to vote for Biden as a write-in-candidate.
The use of the migrants—largely unemployed younger males—would give them the chance to assist save democracy by serving to to save lots of Joe Biden.
Under Biden, the Democrats are decided to destroy democracy to allow them to put it aside.
It would additionally permit the immigrants a approach of thanking the president for permitting them to invade the nation.
Under Healey they could possibly be skilled to scour neighborhoods and knock on doorways to get Democrats and undeclared voters, who can vote in both occasion’s major, to end up and write in Joe Biden’s title.
While some New Hampshire residents may worry busloads of immigrants crossing into their state from Massachusetts, they don’t have anything to fret about.
Massachusetts progressive Gov. Healey isn’t any conservative Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott. She just isn’t about to cross the buck by busing migrants from Boston to Manchester the way in which Abbot is busing them from Eagle Pass to New York.
There might be no re-busing below her administration. Massachusetts is a welcoming state with liberal advantages for all arriving immigrants, authorized or in any other case. She has stated so.
The 81-year previous Biden just isn’t on the NH Democratic Party poll, after all. That is why the write-in marketing campaign is so necessary. Biden earlier selected to disregard the state which historically holds the primary presidential major within the nation, in favor of friendlier South Carolina.
But New Hampshire being New Hampshire, the state determined to carry the first anyway, with or with out Biden.
While there are 21 names on the Democrat poll, the one two standouts are U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson.
If Biden tops the ticket as a write-in-candidate, his supporters will declare a significant victory.
However, if Biden can’t even beat each as a write-in candidate, then he’s in deeper hassle than the polls present, contemplating along with Healey, he additionally has supporters from the earlier New Hampshire presidential major campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders campaigning for him.
Biden is fortunate additionally that presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., dropped out of the Democratic presidential race to run as an unbiased.
It was an enormous mistake. Running as a Democrat, Kennedy had the potential to wash Biden’s clock in New Hampshire. Running as a third-party candidate he has become a spoiler.
Healey has rather a lot using on a Biden victory, each in New Hampshire and elsewhere. Unlike former Gov. Charlie Baker, her predecessor, who distanced himself from presidential politics, Healey has chosen to get entangled.
She is on Biden’s nationwide marketing campaign advisory board in addition to serving as a marketing campaign surrogate.
If Biden wins in New Hampshire, she wins. If Biden loses, she loses too.
And the migrants hold coming.
