Not Enough Food, No Showers: Migrants Protest Outside Portland ME Expo Over “Awful Conditions,” Uncertain Future Benefits
The Maine Wire ^ | 6/28/2023 | EDWARD TOMIC

Posted on 06/28/2023 9:55:42 AM PDT by cp124

Roughly 100 migrants protested outside of the Portland Exposition Building Wednesday morning, briefly blocking traffic along a busy Park Ave, to raise alarm about the “awful conditions” inside the shelter, with one man telling the Maine Wire that there was not enough food and limited ability to shower. The migrants also complained about the uncertain future they face when taxpayer-funded benefits paying for their accommodations run out later this year. “We have children here, but the life is not very good,” said Reagan Mayemba, a migrant staying at the Portland Expo. Mayemba said that they will be “kicked out” in August without any housing or food.

Glad I am not in charge.

I would have an airport, near the border, with planes (military/civilian), doesn't matter, and crews ready to go. As the illegals come across the border, take them by bus, to the airport. As they get off the bus, hand them an MRE, and a bottle of water, and ask them what country they came from.

When they tell the country, point to the proper airplane, and, say, get on board. Once the plane is full, call the country and tell them that we are coming, with a plane full of their citizens. If they balk, tell them, that their aid gets cut, by 10%, for every day they do not let it land.

If they do not get aid, then tell them, we are coming anyway, and do not try to stop us. Military escort, if necessary.

Good. Now go back to that h3ll hole you called home. See, all we’re doing is making you feel like your home country you left.

Possibly the promised land isn’t as promising as they were told. The streets they thought were lined with gold are lined with drug paraphernalia, feces, crack addicts and tents.

Send them back to Mexico or whereever they call home. One way tickets home, now.

Absolutely - self deport! I will support any effort to provide bus transportation and an EBT card for a week’s worth of food to get you to the nearest U.S. border crossing - Canada or Mexico. Go home and be damn grateful for the free ride you’ve already received from U.S. taxpayers.

But, in America, you get to protest when you’re unhappy. I’m guessing they didn’t come here for the First Amendment freedoms, though.

Hey migrants! You have no right to come to the USA and take money, food and resources. I worked and paid into the system, you didn’t. You’re costing me!

You’re probably nice people, but go back where you came from.

But, but, but . . . conservatives are talking too much about cultural issues.

"...the life is not very good,” said Reagan Mayemba

Yes, it is a HORRIBLE country founded on the backs of POCs, full of evil systemic racism, and treats alphabet people horribly. It is SO bad that I'm surprised anybody would want to come here. You better leave while the getting is good, Reagan (although I have to admit that I DO like your first name).
