1,000 migrants arrived in Portland, Maine since the beginning of 2023, ..Some residents have expressed discontent with the expo center being used as a shelter for migrants while the city of Portland continues to experience an increasing homelessness problem with its own citizens.
Running the basketball arenas as a shelter for two months in 2019 cost Portland around $400,000 – and, the Portland Press reports, the city raised nearly $1 million in private donations to support the 400 asylum seekers who arrived over the summer that year.
Portland activist Richard Ward told Fox & Friends on Wednesday that the city's priorities are upside down, saying that they are allowing migrants to be housed in the Expo Center before taking care of their own homeless citizens.
While the southern border crisis is exacerbated by weak on immigration policies, states in the northern U.S. have also seen a surge over the border from Canada, which is largely unmanned.
While the numbers at the northern border are far dwarfed by those in the south, it continues to be a weak-point since efforts are focused on addressing the thousands of migrants that cross over the southern border every day.

BTTT
I will donate for plane tickets back home.
So are they checked medically before being housed? African nations have all sorts of disease and internal parasites.
I don’t think they’ll take you up on that offer.
“I will donate for plane tickets back home.”
I’d rather send the Democrats that welcome them
to Africa, and keep people that really want
to be here and integrate.
After they ask me for money, I would ask if it’s hard to breathe when their heads are up and locked?
What are the people supposedly fleeing from in Angola and the Congo?
So Maine wants to become another Minnesota?

Movin’ On Up
Song by Ja’Net DuBois (The Jeffersons Theme Song)
Well we’re movin’ on up
To the east side
To a deluxe apartment in the sky
Movin’ on up
To the east side
We finally got a piece of the pie
Fish don’t fry in the kitchen
Beans don’t burn on the grill
Took a whole lotta tryin’
Just to get up that hill
Now we’re up in the big leagues
Gettin’ our turn at bat
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby
There ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.
“What are the people supposedly fleeing from in Angola and the Congo?”
How do they end up in Maine? I hope no NGOs that receive funding or tax breaks from the U.S taxpayer facilitated this migration.
Uhhhhhhhh.....
Next question.

And so, in brief, if you stay out of the cities like New York, Chicago and Detroit, and if you don’t step on syringes , feces or fentanyl packets on the sidewalks in San Francisco, and you don’t try to pray in any church when an arsonist comes in to set it on fire or start shooting, you may be reasonably safe in the United States.
Back to Africa please
notice that they never send them to places with large black populations....just to the lily white areas....deliberate...
This is why they come here....
