Mass illegal migration has been tough on the finances of small cities and towns throughout the U.S.
So, many of these towns are raising property taxes -- through the roof.
South Portland, Maine, which has seen a mass influx of illegals flown in by the Harris-Biden administration, has raised its property taxes for residents 25% in the last five years as a result. Some have seen hikes as high as 60%. Spending for illegals and their NGO "services" keeps piling up, always going higher than the previously promised budget for them.

Elder scam/abuse.
Please note: These are not "illegal aliens" in the old sense of people who sneak illegally in to seek their fortunes. They are illegally being brought in and supported at great public expense.
The government is making total war against the people.
I thought the locals were avid hunters. That implies a solution, the PB solution.
OMG take out a 2nd after you have worked your whole life to pay off the 1st, I HATE these bastards!!
My mom made the stupid mistake of taking out a RM. Long story.
Anyway, he home is worth $1.5M....and we won’t see a dime of it.
The Founding Fathers gave us every tool we need to bring an end to misgovernment, except the courage to use them.
Cities must refuse to spend money on illegals. In fact section 1324 title 8 makes it a federal felony to give them freebies!!! Insist the law be enforced.

Torches and pitchforks would probably work out better.
Never mind all the “legal” refugee black Moslems imported in thanks to do-gooders, just like in MN. These include likely my dear aunt, Canadian native still clings to unicorns view of life. Tried to show me how lovely the local Moslems are with puff pieces in Lewiston paper.
Work your whole life to buy a house, then have to sell the house to pay taxes...
Sounds wonderful
Exactly. And we have to realize that is the real reason we have so much trouble, not simply who is in office. This is nationwide.
100%.
And those who OWN their homes should never be required to pay taxes on something that they've ALREADY PAID FOR.
It's one big government con-job.
Seems this could be rectified by a few concerned citizens with baseball bats.
TPTB don’t seem to grasp the seriousness of the situation.
You must sell your homes to pay for the democrat’s illegals
I propose those people not paying property taxes into the system (think free public schools tax payers are fiscally responsible for) should be paying a tuition fee and non-resident sales tax to help fund their lifestyles.
You get police & fire protection services, fixing & building streets, build & mauntain sewer system, and many other services with the property tax.
Bull sh*t. After many decades, after paying in hundreds of thousands in property taxes we've never called the cops, never called fire department, and the infrastructure has long since been paid for. Yet these services just keep increasing and choking off the people? I've got nothing in return for ANY of this!
And the corrupt on the government payrolls just keep getting increases to their tax paid wages and along with their gold plated government pensions?
Bull shit!
You’re on the government payroll in one form or another, right Bobby?
Ya got to love when people, like you Bobby, jump in here defending these punitive, ever increasing government taxes on everything. So bad, honest hard working people are losing their homes to government corruption at EVERY LEVEL...City, county, state, feds...They All want a piece of what ya got.
Pathetic.
That seems a sensible reaction, of course, but it assumes the local court will agree. Bottom line is that the open border program has the weight of the current federal government behind it and it will swat down any attempt to interfere.
It does seem that both local and federal taxpayers are being used to fund the Dem party's importation of future Dem voters.
That is not some unintentional by-product of an otherwise healthy program, it is an intentional soft coup; some would argue it started with Obama.
