What is the eligibility for Michigan residents to take in a migrant?
This program has drawn a lot of controversy on social media among residents and lawmakers in Michigan and throughout the country.
What is your take on this?
Absolutely not. My family immigrated here and did it the proper way. Not sneaking in through the back door like a criminal. All of these “migrants” and “newcomers” are criminals by crossing into the country illegally. Nope the state can keep their $500.
So, they have to bribe people with our own tax dollars to take these people into our homes? Sorry Governor, they are illegals and need to be deported, not brought into homes and put our citizens in danger
