Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage appeared on "The Ingraham Angle" on Wednesday, and criticized the use of shrinking city resources that may not be enough to keep up with the influx of asylum seekers.
"If you have the resources, and you feel compassionate for these folks, go ahead and do it, but if you're going to be taking resources, very, very important resources for your citizens, then you are making a big mistake," LePage said.
David MacLean, an administrator of Portland's Social Services Division, is alerting shelters in other parts of the country to discourage people from heading here, according to the Wall Street Journal.
