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.

If Angola is so dangerous that its residents are able to claim asylum here, then the US should ban all travel to Angola.

The same for Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and every other of the 152 countries the border invaders are coming from.

Shove them into a 40’ container, lock it, load it on a truck and drive it without stopping to the southern border and dump it across said border. Repeat frequently.

When the article uses the word “migrant”, are they referring to illegal aliens?

Well... They could come to Canada. In the maritime province where I live they brought in at least 500+ in March... They stay at local hotels that cost $200+ a night and they appear to be enjoying themselves as they stroll around all day in the downtown areas with nothing to do...

Since they aren’t begging for money, I assume the hotel rooms come with room service or free food of some sort...

They all crossed the border in Mexico, then the southern states shipped them to the immigrant loving city of New York, where they promptly shipped to northern New York and then they showed them where the border was and they crossed over to into Quebec, Canada.

Quebec is apparently being inundated, so Trudeau and the premier of that province came up with an agreement to start shipping them to other provinces. They weren’t too happy back in March because it’s freezing here during that month.

It’s gotten more reasonable over the past couple of weeks and they can actually get out for those walk abouts...

Sadly, none of them can speak English or French, the two languages that most Canadian’s speak... So they are having a bit of trouble with communication. But given Trudeau’s generosity with taxpayer funds, they’ll likely be put up in these hotels for years to come.

BTW - If you’re coming to the Maritimes this summer, I would suggest bringing a camper or an RV... Our hotels will likely be all booked up with what Trudeau calls ‘asylum seekers’.

I’m pretty sure that most people call them ‘illegal immigrant’s’, or ‘illegal aliens’... But the ‘asylum seeker’ semantics makes them seem more docile and less criminal... Do you think it’s possible that our media was actually instructed by the government to use that more docile term?

I’m thinking that maybe there were.
