Michigan is asking residents to help house migrants in their homes and help resettle them into society as the crisis at the southern border continues.
The state Department of Labor and Economic Development said volunteers who wish to participate must commit for at least 90 days as part of the refugee support program.
"Programs like the Welcome Corps advance the Office of Global Michigan’s mission to make Michigan the home for opportunity for our immigrant, refugee and ethnic communities," said Poppy Hernandez, Global Michigan Director and Michigan’s Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer. "Expanded refugee resettlement pathways empower more Michiganders to support our state’s growing refugee population and build a more welcoming and inclusive Michigan for all."

The migrants will come from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, all points of origin where many have been hoping to apply for asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Development for more information.
The request comes as multiple cities are grappling with how to house and provide services to newly arrived migrants from the southern border.
Cities like New York and Chicago have also dealt with issues related to migrants committing crimes, as well as pushback from residents who have voiced anger and concern over the influx. Migrant shelters in those cities have largely been full, forcing officials to come up with ways to safely house the migrants.
Last year, Massachusetts officials asked residents to open their doors as migrant shelters were full at the time.
"Most importantly, if you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Housing and shelter is our most pressing need and become a sponsor family," said Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll.
Maybe Mikey and also the Witchmer could host a few.
Why ask people who have extra bedrooms or suites? Why can’t they just share the bed with the unknown invaders?
This is the type of BS that swings elections. People may not pay attention to the debates in Washington but when they are asked to house illegals in their homes, they wake the F up and realize something is really, really wrong.
Lead the way, Wretched Whitmer. The governor’s mansion can probably squeeze in thousands. And then we can discuss her personal dwellings. Random acts of kindness, you know!
Me too. Hey Mongol, come stay at my house.
First the RAT bastards open the borders in order to create a crisis. All the while claiming there is no crisis and that the borders are secure.
Then once the crisis becomes obvious because the RATs are starting to take heat for what they have done, they tell people there is a crisis and Trump caused it, but we need you stupid sheeple to open your homes to a bunch of cockroaches and ne’er do wells pouring over the border because we don’t know what to do with all these illegals.
The filthy bull dyke Governor of Massachusetts has made the same request here. Strangely enough not a single “migrant” has been taken in in Martha’s Vineyard since the request.
Ain’t That right !
.
90 days to boot but how long to get These
Folks Out!?!
Umm, not only no, but BLEEP no. Not to sound harsh, but if they want housing, deport them back to wherever they came from!
Don’t know why but a scene from Dr Zhivago keeps popping up in my mind.
Thanks, but no thanks. How long will it be, till they are not asking anymore, but telling you to open your doors to illegal aliens?
You don’t have to worry about kicking them out, because you will be murdered.
> if you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family <
A more honest request: If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider being robbed repeatedly and having your own family attacked.
In another era, this was called the Quartering Act. Followed by the Golden Hill riots, Boston Massacre and the American Revolution.
Yep. I thought about that as well. Imagine coming home, and finding 50 people in your house. Sucks.
Requests invariably become demands.
“Optional” is always the larval stage of “Mandatory”.
Sure, what frog wouldn’t love to give a ride to a scorpion? Disgusting.
