LANSING, MI - The Michigan State Housing Development Authority rolled out a program last month that offers resettlement support to refugees and other immigrants.

The Newcomer Rental Subsidy provides refugees, asylees and immigrants from areas like Ukraine, Cuba, Haiti and African countries about $300 to $500 a month in rental subsidies. Assistance is available for up to 12 months.

Amy Hovey, executive director of the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, said the program aligns with a goal to increase affordable housing across the state for everyone “including those seeking to build a new life here.”

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Oh, goody.  We in Michigan can expect a huge jump in invaders from the south.  If this is how US governments handle an invasion of everyday people, the thought of an invasion by China is beyond scary. *bouche*

This is dated from 2002, and perhaps already posted, but I think it is important that people realize the magnitude of the invasion that continues.

Nearly 5 million foreign nationals have entered the U.S. illegally since Biden took office

They total more than the individual populations of 25 states and more than 100 countries and territories

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
