Who took all these people in? Is that a fair question?

IMHO, WHY? is an even better question.

Someone said "Maine wasn't "diverse" enough.

We might not be DIVERSE enough, but we sure aren't RICH enough either! I can see a state who's economy is doing really good to take people in.

We have over half on minimum wage. And lots of people out of work. Yet, Maine spends billions on welfare and brings more people in. It's mind boggling and I can't figure it out.

Oh yes! One person said that these people will bring in "thousands more votes for the DemocRATS." Figures, eh?

They better hurry up and register if THAT is the case. (Or not!)

Who is responsible?

Finding out who is responsible, and who, if anyone, benefits financially, is not a straightforward task. If we don't know who is responsible, then we can't make appeals to anyone to stop the flow. So, I intend to find out.

In many states, religious and other private agencies, such as Catholic and Congregational charities, create the flow of refugees into an American community, via programs with the federal government. These agencies are pledged to take care of each refugee for 30 days beyond the date of entry into the community, after this the tax payers take over. (These agencies are known to pay little regard to a city's capacity to actually assimilate the cost of the newcomers.)

Does anyone else know?
