Both. Pipelines are more efficient (read: cheaper) delivery systems than ships.

Not to say the ones she prevented would have mattered specifically here in MA though.

I believe it just started as a means of "maximizing the daylight."

So when you wake up at 6-7AM, the sun will be up, whereas if we didn't move the clocks back, it would be dark until almost 8-9am.

Well, the issue is created by too many people crossing illegally (hence the asylum claims, as it forces the system to accommodate them in the meantime). I'm all for people wanting to move here, we just need to disincentivize people coming in droves and ultimately doing it the right way by applying etc. We just can't handle it, and it's not really fair on anyone involved. Nor is the status quo at all sustainable.

As the person who also replied mentioned, most border towns are way way overwhelmed. They're doing their best to help both the people crossing over and those towns who really do a ton to help them.

I don’t think a lot of people who live far away from border states realize the amount of effort localities put into trying to help these people. It's just too tall a task to do it well. ICE is equipped to turn people away, not house them.

If your employer is paying you, they're going to expect something out of you. You're not forced to stay where you are. Find somewhere that will give you what you want. I could leave for an hour every day on my lunch break if I felt like it.
