WBUR reports Boston Medical Center had been letting new migrant families shelter in its lobbies until they could find more permanent housing, but says it was getting too many people and so had to send some of them to Logan Airport - which says, no, don't do that.

The T has a two story building at the station that used to be a police station. The T could allow the migrants to temporarily stay there where they would be close to services that assist the large Haitian community of Mattapan.

Make sure they know not to accept housing from Sheriff Tompkins.

What an odd headline in the Globe:

"A new BMC policy turns away migrant families seeking shelter — even if it means sending some to the airport in an Uber"

As if *BMC* is harming the immigrants, how absurd.
