Massachusetts residents generally support the state's right-to-shelter law, but not everyone who backs it wants it to be open to migrants.
While 75 percent of residents support the law and just 19 percent oppose it, support drops when asking people if they support it for migrants, according to a MassInc poll released this week; 55 percent said yes, while 40 percent said no.
State officials can start turning away families from emergencies shelters when they run out of space, now that a state judge has denied a request to force the state to provide places for them to live.
