And in response, the state should stop ALL funding for General Assistance to Portland until the October audit.
Absolutely they provide “diverse skills”. After all, very few Maine-iacs know anything about Somali-style warlordism.
These mentally disturbed illegals engage in tortuous arguments to justify their existence——adds up to a gargantuan sense of entitlement-—that Americans should consider themselves “privileged” to subsidize their every whim.
What? I thought illegals did the jobs Americans don’t want to do. Cashing a welfare check and sitting on your butt is a job millions of Americans want to do.
Send the squatters home.
:: The people who receive these benefits depend on them for housing and for food ::
Shelter and sustenance for transgressors of Federal Law. That must be in the “penumbra” of Amendment VIII?
That means we are punishing the immigrants with Constitutional protections!
They bring “youth and energy” what does this even mean??? Do not lawful and legal citizens’ kids bring youthfulness to the table or are they a different kind of “youth?” What about THEIR energy? You mean they just sit that like vegetables while the Hispanic kids run around in circles? And yeah gotta love those diverse skills. They sure give those hotel rooms a mean clean, and wash those dishes sparkling, serve them burgers with agility, and tend those lawns to the utmost perfection. Gawd I don’t mean to sound a bigot but these kinds of comments do make those defensive emotions rear up.
They are not "undocumented immigrants." They are ILLEGAL ALIENS! Calling them undocumented immigrants is like calling shoplifting an "undocumented purchase."
How about some really big trucks to take them back across the border.
This is going to get interesting, everyone please keep in mind the Portland Press Herald is owned by extreme left wing Congressperson Chellie Pingree and her communist leaning husband.
Liberals are suck flippin idiots.
The bigger question is why are Canadians crossing into Maine?
God Bless Governor Le Page.
Shut off all state aid to the cities. Today. Shut their asses down.
613 people? Seriously? Lets send millions of illegals up there and see how sympathetic those folks are!
Illegals = the new "gibs me dat fo free" group. Just where do the libs think the money comes from? 0bummer's stash? Some people need to realize the tax money comes out of the working peoples' pockets.
How about this: Invoice all assistance payments to foreign nationals in residence in your state against the foreign aid sent to their country of origin? We should not be sending foreign aid to ANYONE unless it is in our best interest, but at least we can charge them for the costs of helping their people.
>>General Assistance is temporary, emergency aid intended to help individuals and families<<
Can anyone define the time limit for temporary and emergency . How long a timespan is considered temporary. How long does an emergency situation last?
