Gov. Half-Whitmer strikes again.

Governor Whitmer Offers "Newcomer Rental Subsidy" to Landlords

 

Newcomer is the new word for illegal aliens.  In Biden's America, there is a new word for everything.

 

In Michigan, Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer has gone so far as to name a rent assistance program the Newcomer Rental Subsidy program.  It offers landlords $500 for each illegal alien.  The program "provides Refugees and other Newcomer population-eligible households with rental assistance up to $500 per month for up to 12 months, with eligibility based on immigration status and household income."  [...]

Denver Offering Free Bus Tickets to Illegal Immigrants to Move On - 'The Opportunities Are Over'

 

A local Denver television station recently obtained a video of a Denver city official visiting a shelter for illegal immigrants, where he is essentially telling them that there are no more resources available to them in the Mile-High City.

 

Video footage from local NBC affiliate KUSA shows Denver's Newcomer Communications Liaison and political director for Mayor Mike Johnston, Andres Carrera, telling a group of recently arrived illegal immigrants that the city is unable to assist them.  The footage shows Carrera encouraging the illegal immigrants, who arrived in Denver on March 26, to take a free bus ticket that the city will pay for and go to another sanctuary city.  [...]

Here are the requirements.  Also, this part was news to me.

 

In 2023, the Refugee Council USA reported that Michigan was ranked 4th with refugees, behind California, Texas, and New York.

 

Eligibility and Immigration Status

A beneficiary must have an eligible immigration status as defined by the Office of Refugee Resettlement which includes:

• Refugees
• Asylees
• Special Immigration Visa (SIV)
• Victims of Human Trafficking
• Cuban and Haitian entrants
• Afghan Nationals, and
• Ukrainian Humanitarian Parolees.

Other immigration statuses include individuals who arrived under the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan (CHNV) program; individuals who arrived under the Family Reunification Parole Process for El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Colombia, individuals with a pending asylum application, and other immigrant individuals on a case-by-case scenario.

I wonder if they're also counting Somali people and other longer-term sorts.

Migrant Caravan Heads to El Paso

 

A migrant caravan is making its way from southern Mexico to the Texas border.  It is expected to arrive in the El Paso area in a few days.

 

There are about 2,000 people in the caravan.  One video reported that there were 3,000 marching in the caravan.  [...]

It seems the illegal immigrants are finding ways to extort things from Woke governments.  I highly doubt this will be a one off event.

 

Seattle scrambles to raise $5,000 DAILY hotel cost for 240 'threatening' asylum seekers who overtook school play area, erecting 

 

Seattle is scrambling to raise the $5,000-a-day hotel costs for 240 asylum seekers who overtook a school play area with tents and foreign flags in a takeover locals called 'threatening.'.

 

Seattle City Council members say they're working with Mayor Bruce Harrell's office to find an emergency solution to the cadre of migrants who camped at Garfield Tennis Courts, part of a community center used by local schools.

 

‘It appears today's action was a threat. Fund our hotel stay, or else,' Washington talk radio host Ari Hoffman posted on X/Twitter.

 

'The illegal immigrants previously demanded Seattle pay for the hotel stay. [The mayor and the city] gave in again and then finally said 'No.' Activists were arrested for protesting the decision.'

Probably much less.

It used to be a sex-offender crime to, uh, erect around schoolchildren.

Probably a Soros D.A. up there.

The reality of migrant crime

 

[...] Now, there is another migrant crime in the news, this time in New York City.  This week, police raided a house in the Bronx that had been taken over by migrant squatters who had entered the U.S. illegally.  In addition to arresting eight of them, police confiscated several firearms, extended magazines, ammunition, plus the drugs ketamine and cocaine.  The officers moved in, the New York Post reported, after one of the migrants "allegedly flashed a pistol at someone on the property March 27, leading to a 911 call and the discovery of the squatter gang."  [...]

Biden Demands Israel Fight Rest Of War Using Nerf Guns

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Biden threatened to end U.S. aid to Israel unless the IDF complies with a new demand to fight the rest of the war against Gaza armed with only Nerf guns.

"It's Nerf or nothin'!" Biden exclaimed during a brief call to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  "You can attack Hamas with the old school revolver, the bow and arrow, heck you can use a gatling gun -- so long as all the bullets are Nerf!  You hear me, Bibi?!"  [...]

Video:  The migrants, up close
 

By random chance, I discovered a 32-minute YouTube video by a videographer named Nick Shirley titled, "I Lived with Migrants in NYC for 24hrs."

 

It was two weeks old, but what an amazing revelation it was, a very fine example of what good long-form journalism used to be.

 

Shirley, who speaks Spanish (and captions his videos in English well), has a talent for connecting to the illegal migrants and those in contact with them, and they open up and explain what they're doing, where they're going, and why.  Sure, it's a lot of information we already knew, but seeing it through the eyes of particular people helps one to grasp the big picture better than individual data points.  [...]
