| "The need for in-migration and immigration to contribute to our
| workforce and economy has never been greater," said Shanna Cox,
| president of the Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.
|
| "We know this new office will address the unique needs of the New
| [emphasis added] Mainer communities," said Fatuma Hussein, director
| of the Immigrant Resource Center of Maine, which also provides
| advice for migrants dealing with "gender-based violence."
|
| "It has been impossible to keep up with new immigrant arrivals in
| Maine without one entity to coordinate the multiple agencies,
| organizations, and municipalities performing this work," said Mufalo
| Chitam, director of Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition.
|
| The push for more migrants in Maine is being coordinated with a
| network of D.C.-based, business-backed pro-migration groups. The
| governor's statement said:
|
|| The Governor's Executive Order also directs GOPIF to participate
|| in the Office of New Americans State Network, a consortium of U.S.
|| states with dedicated offices or staff for coordinating immigrant
|| integration. The Network is coordinated by a partnership of two
|| organizations, World Education Services and the American Immigration
|| Council.
||
|| ...
||
|| Maine will become the 19th state in the Network, following North
|| Dakota and Utah in 2023; Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Illinois in
|| 2022; and Colorado, Oregon, and Minnesota in 2021. Other Network
|| states include Michigan, Ohio, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York,
|| New Jersey, California, Washington, Nevada, and Virginia.
||
|| "We are thrilled to see Governor Mills' Executive Order to
|| create a statewide Office of New Americans," said Rich Andre,
|| Director of State and Local Initiatives at the American Immigration
|| Council. "Maine now joins a bipartisan group of 18 other states that
|| participate in the Office of New Americans State Network to share
|| best practices and deepen their investment in immigrant and refugee
|| inclusion."

Will Miriam Adelson, Robert Bigelow, Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin, Julia
Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, David Sacks and Steve Wynn allow
Ron DeSantis to invite the likes of Mike Emmons onto their campaign
stage and use their bullhorn to stump for an immigration moratorium?

"What made Trump a phenomenon was his ability to debate, mock, and
make anyone look bad on the stage. But the confident Trump of 2016
is gone. You've now got a Trump who is terrified of being challenged
on his record and running scared of debates because he knows he's
vulnerable. https://t.co/8tAjr7fLu1" - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1650924021834194954>
