By - Associated Press - Tuesday, January 24, 2017
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - Maine Republican Gov. Paul LePage is arguing the state shouldn’t help “illegal immigrants” by funding cash benefits for legal immigrants seeking political asylum.
LePage’s two-year budget proposal calls for $12 million in cuts to the program, which he’s long railed against.
The governor told WVOM-FM on Tuesday that Portland is “the leader” of breaking laws about giving “illegal immigrants” General Assistance.
