Michigan Tries to Convince Residents to Pick Immigrants Up 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.

For one thing, the reward appears to be woke brownie points, which, for most people, isn’t much in the way of compensation.

For another, most Americans are deeply unhappy with the current illegal immigration crisis, specifically with how the federal government, and local governments in blue states, have handled it.

Is illegal immigration the most important issue of the 2024 election?

From booting children from their rec centers and schools to kicking elderly veterans out of nursing homes, the actions taken by blue state governments aren’t calculated to make residents willing to open their homes and wallets to illegal aliens.

Moreover, stories come out almost daily about migrants illegally crossing the border and committing heinous crimes against American citizens.

Not every illegal immigrant is a violent criminal, but it’s undeniable that the risk is there.

Is this really the best plan Democrats could come up with?

The fact that this is even being asked of residents speaks to the massive failure of the Biden administration when it comes to the border.

Why should the American people be on the hook for taking care of the thousands of illegal migrants our cities are unable to support?

The blame for this crisis — and, by extension, the responsibility for handling it — belongs to no one but the Biden administration.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this 

only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.

 

Thank you for reading,
