Now go inside Logan International Airport in Boston and shoot bbColin and Jessica A. Super Stars. I apologize to all of my fans for the last

A Massachusetts couple who volunteered to take in illegal immigrants was surprised when a family of four showed up at the doorstep less than an hour after signing up.

With state shelters hitting capacity and migrant families sleeping overnight inside Boston Logan International Airport, Colin and Jessica Stokes of Brookline, Massachusetts, decided to step up and try to make a difference.

 

“I realized that I needed to make the beds with sheets.” What is the expected number of attendees? What is their origin? What age ranges? Really, we had no idea,” Jessica said to WBZ News on Friday.

Colin added, “It’s obvious that the need is enormous.”

The four-person family was among the groups of migrants who had taken up residence at the airport.

Before arriving in Massachusetts, the parents and their two kids had journeyed from Chile all the way to Texas.

Right now, the two children are waiting to start school.The parents emphasized that it might take several months for the appropriate authorization forms to be received and approved, even as they look for employment.

Jessica said that seeing how difficult the situation is from the front lines is amazing.

The family is very cute. They really are grateful. It has been fantastic,” she continued.

 

The migrant crisis has been complex for Massachusetts.

The state’s newest emergency shelter, located in Roxbury, a neighborhood in Boston, reached its capacity (400 people) in just one week.

Gov. Maura Healey’s office said in late January the decision to move migrants into the state-owned  Cass Recreation Center was “just born out of necessity” as other facilities in the state that have served as housing shelters, including the Logan Airport, have become overwhelmed.

 

“At this point, we just have to do what needs to be done,” she continued.Although Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn stated the location of the shelter is a “non-starter” due to the lack of running water, local officials are investigating the possibility of opening another one in an office building in Boston Seaport.The Stokes wish that other families would choose to host migrants in their own homes after using them as a model.

 

It’s a state of emergency, and I know that genuinely good-hearted people are doing everything they can to deal with the dysfunction. But it’s just so depressing. However, Jessica found the volume to be upsetting.

The Stokes family has been contacted by Fox News Digital for an update.
