‘Welcoming’ Governor Digs Deeper Hole in Maine

Maine Gov. Janet Mills warmly welcomed immigrants as “family” in her inaugural address last January. Now that hundreds of asylum seekers from Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo have landed in her state, Mills is calling on Uncle Sam to expedite emergency-relief money to accommodate the influx.

Mills, a Democrat, opened Maine’s cash spigot last month when she issued an executive order enabling more migrants to receive state welfare benefits. Welfare for non-citizens was a flash point in the final days of the 2019 legislative session. Though the Maine House voted largely along party lines to allow asylum seekers to qualify for General Assistance and other welfare programs, the Senate never acted on the bill. Maine officials conservatively estimate that the governor’s unilateral move will cost the state “several hundred thousand dollars, not more than a million dollars.”

One more example of why women should NEVER be permitted to hold positions of power in the government or military...!

Weak-willed female "leaders" will destroy the country!

If they openly say not more than a million dollars, then you can be sure it will be 10s of millions. That's the way government always works.
