The unexpected state where migrants are pouring through the border at a record pace

The US state known for lobster, beautiful coastlines and being the home of elites like actors and former presidents has become a hotbed for illegal immigrant crossings under President Donald Trump.

The most migrants sneaking into the US through Maine in 24 years was recorded last month, the US Border Patrol revealed.

While The Pine Tree State usually saw between 25 and 50 encounters a month during the presidency of former President Joe Biden, the Border Patrol's Houlton Sector arrested 113 people in April.
 
It shows that migrants desperately trying to make it to the United States are choosing to enter through Canada, bypassing the intense layers of security at the Mexican border 2,000 miles away - where crossings have declined under President Donald Trump.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Latin American migrants are still preferrable to those filthy French Canadians.

The Pine Tree State

Were all of the other nicknames taken?

Maine already is lousy with Somalis or some such. I remember reading about how the illegals were raising a stink because the Muslim women, as they got their free healthcare, objected to being treated by male doctors.

This is from a 2023 story in The Maine Wire:
Quote
... Over the past five years, as migrants from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, and Haiti have flocked to southern Maine and joined the General Assistance rolls in the Greater Portland Area, the municipalities providing those welfare and housing benefits have pointedly declined to track how many foreign nationals are receiving assistance. But regardless of the actual number of foreign-born migrants now residing in Maine, that number has been attained only after more than two decades of sanctuary city policies in southern Maine attracting migrants from sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. ...
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

For some reason, Somali's settled around Lewiston, ME.  Still preferrable to filthy French Canadians.

Maine also had a nickname, "Vacationland".

I believe 100% in legal immigration.

Equally, I believe 100% in the deportation of every illegal invading alien, no exception, no refugee status, no judges, nothing but deportation, with imprisonment if they are a 2nd+ time offender.

If our worthless Congress was worth a good BM, they would make that law.  Very simple people, but the people in Congress no longer represent the American people, nor do they care for the protection of the USA citizens.
