Maine’s Democrat governor just created an office to help import 75,000 poor migrants during the next ten years.
That inflow would add roughly one migrant for every 10 kids in Maine’s K-12 school system, and approximately one migrant for every 10 people in the state’s current workforce of 630,000. The desired inflow spotlights the routine bipartisan reach for short-term economic subsidies instead of the productivity-boosting policies that help Americans earn what they want and need to raise the next generation of Americans.

“My order will develop a plan for a new office to help us ensure that Maine is fully drawing on the talents and skills of those who want to live and work in and contribute to our great state,” Gov. Janet Mills (D) announced on August 2 as she created the office. “This is a critical step for Maine’s economic future as we address our workforce shortage and support our communities and businesses.”
The office is being applauded by a network of business-backed national advocacy groups and by local pro-migration groups that will gain in the near term as the inflow of new consumers, renters, and workers hold down Americans’ wages and push up local rents.
