The claim's literal reading (400,000 arrived in Massachusetts) is contradicted by the sources: a MassFiscal study reports about 50,000 new arrivals since 2021, far below 400,000.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… Every day, ICE posts mug shots of the criminals they're rounding up and getting out, and every day Democrats vow to abolish ICE, prosecute ICE, arrest ICE for catching violent criminals who don't belong here. 400,000 illegal aliens made their way to Massachusetts. Why? Because Mora Healy, the governor, spent 4 billion dollars accommodating them on hotel rooms and Ubers and doctors and dentists and interpreters and translators and chefs who cooked their culturally sensitive meals. …
The Gerry Callahan Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. A MassFiscal study reports about 50,000 new illegal and inadmissible migrant arrivals in Massachusetts since 2021, which is incompatible with 400,000 arrivals.[1]
Supports. Estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Massachusetts cluster around 355,000 to 357,000, with one headline rounding to 'almost 400,000', so the 400,000 figure is near the high end of stock estimates.[1][2]
Context. The 357,000 figure is a workforce estimate from a Boston Foundation report sourced to Migration Policy Institute data, and the 400,000 figure appears in a headline. Neither source measures total arrivals.[2]
Context. The sources do not directly address the 400,000 figure as a count of arrivals, and the MassFiscal source is unrated and from a think tank, so the contradiction rests on a single non-primary source.[1][3]
