The Close the Border Rally held at the Massachusetts State House in Boston was a powerful display of grassroots activism and steadfast support for securing our nation’s borders. Thousands of passionate individuals gathered, united by their commitment to addressing the pressing issue of illegal immigration. Among a crowd of people, the loud chant of "Trump” rang out through the streets, emphasizing the lasting impact of President Donald Trump.
Contrary to Eyewitness News, this rally was not a mere gathering of a "few hundred protesters.” Bystanders reveal a extremely different reality. The streets were overflowing with enthusiastic demonstrators, their homemade signs declaring resolute support for border security. American flags waved proudly, and spirited chants roared through the crowd. This was no small-scale protest; it was a mobilization of thousands who believe in safeguarding our borders and protecting American citizens.
The call to secure our borders is not a political talking point; it is a matter of life and death. An Angel Mom, Maureen Maloney, whose son was killed by a drunk illegal driving, spoke of all the harsh reminders of the devastating consequences of unvetted immigration. Innocent lives have been lost due to those who are here unlawfully and unverified. How many more tragedies must occur before decisive action is taken? The need for an extensive, ironclad border security transcends partisan lines—it demands urgent attention and resolute measures.
Massachusetts, with its generous welfare programs and sanctuary city policies, attracts an infiltration of illegal, "undocumented”, immigrants. While the state provides emergency shelter to ‘over 7,000 families’, the strain on public resources is immense. Sixty-two dollars per day for food is gifted to each immigrant who illegally trespassed, including free dry cleaning and, of course, maid service. Escalating costs for healthcare, education, and social services burden taxpayers. The state’s right-to-shelter law guarantees housing for homeless families, but it also intensifies the financial strain. As spending on the emergency shelter system reaches unprecedented levels, essential services for citizens are compromised.
A popular conservative radio host, Jeff Kuhner, the main speaker, made a powerful statement, referring to what he called "the final betrayal.”
"Dems put illegals ahead of homeless veterans.”

He emphasized concern about scarce resources being used to house and shelter illegal immigrants while USA Vets are homeless and many Americans struggle to make ends meet. Boston City Council President Ruthzee Louijeune underscored the federal government’s role in addressing the border issue. Yet, Boston Mayor, Michelle Wu, stresses the community’s widespread need for housing and financial stability.

The rally participants demanded change. They called for a reevaluation of Massachusetts’ right-to-shelter law, ensuring that established residents have access to resources before newcomers. Their signs proclaimed, "Close the border.” This rallying cry reflects the urgency felt by ordinary citizens who witness the impact of immigration policies firsthand.
