Taxpayer Money Hard at Work Funding Democrat Training Bootcamps for Non-Citizens

In today’s episode, Jennifer takes listeners on a deep dive into the latest news from Boston, examining Mayor Michelle Wu’s administration and recent decisions that have raised eyebrows across the state. She raises concerns about taxpayer dollars being used for a $575-per-person, 10-week training program exclusively available to non-citizen residents, including green card holders, DACA recipients, refugees, asylum seekers, and undocumented individuals. Jennifer also exposes the city’s $500 block party grants and claims these are being used to facilitate political activism and potentially sway local elections.

The discussion intensifies as Jennifer calls for oversight from government agencies, linking these developments to broader themes of crime, corruption, electioneering, and a lack of political accountability. She further discusses the pattern of incumbent Democrats in Massachusetts refusing to participate in debates, underlining the dominance of a single party and questioning the health of democracy in the state.

“Michelle Wu is paying illegal immigrants $575 apiece for a 10-week training program.”
