OPEN BORDER COSTS REVEALED
Republicans blow the lid off a program that spends over $56,000 per asylum seeker while spending far less addressing Maine’s homeless and nursing home crises
STATE HOUSE – Legislative Republicans held a press conference today to deliver shocking new numbers on state spending related to thousands of asylum seekers coming to Maine for free housing. The migration is part of Governor Mills’ pledge to bring in 75,000 new Mainers by 2029.
These costs have largely been hidden from the public and are now being exposed in an effort to demand accountability and a results-driven plan. Taxpayer money is being diverted away from pressing state needs as Mainers languish on housing lists for years or waiting lists for nursing homes.
WATCH THE PRESS CONFERENCE
Mainers List Their Concerns About the State
Today Maine House Representative Katrina J. Smith, District 62, a Republican from Palermo, asked the question, "What concerns you the most about Maine right now?"
There were over 184 responses, and here were some of the concerns raised:
According to U.S. Census Bureau facts, in 2022, per capita income in Maine was $39,718 and 10.8% of people in Maine are living in poverty.
Maine ranks in the top 10 states for the highest electricity rates, coming in at number 3 for 2024.
When it comes to affordable rent, Maine is the 5th least affordable state.
The cost of living index for Maine is 110.7.
In 2022, there were 151,212 small businesses in Maine.
Do you agree with the concerns on this list? What if any other concerns would you add to the list? Please add your concerns and suggestions in the comment section.
Please keep emailing me your local news tips, school/education news, community issues, crime concerns, issues you feel should be investigated, upcoming events, good news stories, neighbors helping neighbors, etc. to [email protected]
