Michigan Tries to Convince Residents to Pick Up Immigrants at Airport, Help Them Find Housing and Jobs
Leave it to the Biden administration to let the American people clean up the mess created by its terrible policies.
The mess in question today is one of many resulting from unchecked illegal immigration — specifically, where to house the deluge of illegal immigrants pouring over the border every day.
The state of Michigan has decided that the best option is to ask citizens to figure it out.
Seriously.
On Feb. 12, the Office of Global Michigan — part of the state Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity — released a statement encouraging residents to volunteer to “sponsor” refugees.
“Sponsors are expected to provide support to newly arrived refugees for 90 days through acts such as greeting refugee newcomers at the airport, securing and preparing initial housing, enrolling children in school and helping adults find employment,” the statement said.
Now, Michigan isn’t outright asking people to take in illegal aliens, just to “secure and prepare initial housing.” But other blue states have been more direct.
Last year, Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll came right out with it, asking residents, “If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family. Housing and shelter is our most pressing need.”
It’s difficult to imagine many people jumping at the chance to babysit illegal immigrants they’ve never met.
