Homeowners in Portland, Maine will get to pay for free homes for illegal aliens the federal government places in their city. The homeowners will pay higher real estate taxes to cover this local government housing mandate.
The people coming illegally will live in homes for ‘free’.
In a vote on June 6th, Portland residents learned that they’d be paying an additional 4.8% on their property tax bill so that federally-placed asylum seekers could remain and live in their deteriorating city for free.
In case you haven’t heard, DHS is now bussing and flying illegal aliens all over the country. NBC News reviewed Department of Homeland Security documents showing that border towns are overrun. So they will bus and drop the massive wave of unvetted humanity deep into the country.
The federal government dishonestly calls almost all illegal aliens “asylum seekers.” So, Portland’s getting illegal aliens masked as asylum seekers.
The aliens were placed by the federal government and now Maine homeowners will pay for it. The federal government now ignores another part of immigration law – the one that says the US does NOT accept public charges.
WGME, a local news station reporting on the taxpayer burden, explained:
“Portland property taxes will soon be going up by 4.8 percent. Last year, families with a $400,000 home paid about $5,200 in property taxes. With this new increase, it’ll be around $5,550 for that same home. That’s an increase of about $350.”
This comes at a time when Americans can afford it the least.
This is socialist communist theft. The government in some states and the federal government are destroying the country.
You don’t own your home. The government does.

So why don’t these morons do something about it. Oh, I forgot, their illiterate libtards.
Here’s a newsflash…we’re ALL paying for people here illegally. Every last one of us.
Hey Ho! I LIVE in Maine, and Portland is RUN by Neo Marxists/Dem. And it is no surprize of the tax hike. I NEVER travel there unless I have to. My big concern is the Commies who live there will flee and infect the ‘real Maine towns’ unless the towns DO something positive about the disease. HINT, there is a law on the Fed books, that outlaws the Communist Party and its followers.
HINT: the Feds have long-since stopped enforcing laws against the Left. The federal law against Communism would be enforced just as vigorously as they are enforcing the law against protesting at the residences of judges or outside the court.
De Santis should bus all the illegal aliens to Portland, Maine: it’s good for Florida, better for the illegal aliens and will be great for the country in November 2022.
And who voted for this? In my county, if the County Board of Supervisors did something like this…… Well, let’s just say everyone knows where they live. Recall would be the least of their worries. But then, they aren’t that stupid. Recently, a group of Illegals were evicted for having 4 families living in a small trailer. They were quietly threatened with being jailed for child abuse and losing their children if they didn’t leave the county. We suspect the Federal Government will try to “step in” – good luck. It’s not a good idea to tell people in the Deep South that you work for the Federal Government. You get put on a list!
